Strong - agile - indefatigable: for perfect stall hygiene
The SRone and SRone+ moves noiselessly between the animals without causing any agitation. Quite the opposite, the cows take to it right from the start. Flat and compact, the SRone moves smoothly under gates and carries out its work without supervision. The safety switch is particularly animal-friendly; as soon as the pushing is exceeded, it stops forward movement and starts an obstacle-avoidance manoeuvre.
The SRone and SRone+ reliably ensures good barn hygiene by provision of automatic cleaning of the splattered floor. And when it comes to the bottom line, healthy animals produce more milk at less cost!
The popular SRone with lateral guidance can clean up to 8,000 square meters slatted floor per day, making it the optimum solution for efficiently cleaning out smaller barns with simple, standard walkways and few obstacles. For larger barns with up to 12,000 square meters of slatted flooring to clean each day, or if you wish to design more challenging, personalized route plans, the programmable SRone+ with multifunctional control technology is the ideal choice for reliable, intelligent hygiene management.
Climate change and a growing world population put increased pressure on the energy-intensive food industry to feed more people without further impacting the planet. George Shepherd, GEA’s Global Technical Sustainability Manager, explains how GEA uses its engineering know-how to help processors produce more sustainably yet increase productivity.
The world's population is growing and with it demand for milk. Dairy is an essential component of many global diets. However, its production can be resource-intensive and impact the environment. GEA’s Christian Müller, Senior Director Sustainability Farm Technologies, sheds light on how technological innovations powered by GEA make milk production more efficient and profitable.
Every safe beverage and bite of food is a victory against invisible microbial threats – a battle shaped by a century of hygienic process design. With more than 100 years of engineering and hygienic design know-how, GEA sets the industry standard for processing equipment that protects food and saves lives.
