Whether you are looking for a low-tech herringbone swingover milking parlour, an automatic milking system, or something in-between, we can supply and install a reliable milking system for your dairy herd.
Negus Chase is a main dealer for GEA, a leading supplier of dairy technology worldwide. As well as having access to the full range of GEA milking equipment, we can help you to decide on the right combination of equipment to meet the requirements for your individual dairy farm.
Traditional milking parlours for dairy cows
Through GEA we offer:
- herringbone (doubled-up, swingover or rapid exit), side-by-side, rotary and autotandem stalling with or without in-parlour feeding;
- a range of vacuum pumps, vacuum controllers, milk pumps and other core milking system components to suit the installation;
- a choice of milking clusters including the revolutionary IQ milking cluster with separate chambers for each quarter, and the innovative ApolloMilkSystem™ with integrated cluster flushing and teat dipping
- pulsators with or without pre-milking stimulation, designed to improve milk let-down;
- a range of milking control units, from a simple automatic cluster remover (ACR) to the advanced Metatron milk meter, with the Dematron user friendly keypad;
- DairyPlan C21 herd management software with automatic animal identification and the option of peripheral technology including selection gates, automatic weighing scales and heat detection.
Robotic milking machines for dairy cows
- Accommodating up to 70 cows per box, the GEA DairyRobot R9500 offers professional dairy producers the key advantages associated with automated milking. The DairyRobot’s modern, functional design, large touchscreen display and excellent ergonomics make for a smooth milking operation, whilst its manual support features make it especially easy to handle special-need cows.
- GEA’s DairyProQ rotary parlour opens groundbreaking production possibilities for milking large dairy herds. With 28-80 milking stations, approximately 120-400 cows can be automatically milked per hour with just one operator supervising the entire process.
Traditional milking parlours for other species
We can supply milking parlours and milking equipment, including high- and low-tech options for goats, sheep and buffalo.
Design service
Having decided on the type of milking system that will best suit your requirements, we can help you look at the best position on the farm for the parlour or robot(s). Considerations include:
- clean access to the dairy for the tanker
- keeping the dairy as close to the milking facility as possible
- the position of the milking facility in relation to cow housing and grazing access
- natural falls of the land to facilitate the removal of dirty water
- cow flow before and after milking
- the siting of shedding and cow handling facilities.
Once you are happy with the proposals and the order has been placed, we provide customised drawings with detailed specifications for you to give your builder and electrician. We will also liaise with them during the construction work to answer any queries and ensure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
