High performance, large saving potential
With the SwingOver milking parlor from GEA’s DairyParlor line, you take care of two milking stalls opposite one another with only one milking control unit and milking cluster. The double function of the PosiSwing milking arm makes it possible. The basis of this double-sided milking system is the especially compact herringbone milking parlor EuroClass 800. The milking arm is positioned in the middle of the milking pit. When you swing it over to the side where you want to start attaching, the vacuum starts. Simultaneously, you instantly have the milking cluster at the ergonomic height you need. The milking control unit takes over milking management for you and sends the herd management system the relevant data on the cow and milking stall. In the meantime, you can switch over to the other side of the group and finalize milking procedures.
Especially with only one person milking in the parlor, the SwingOver milking system from GEA is an economically sound investment for small and mid-sized herds. Despite investing less per milking stall, you can still achieve high efficiency thanks to higher productivity and a milking system working continually at high capacity. In addition, you easily save about half the water for rinsing milking clusters as well as half the time for cleaning in the long term.
