The best in performance, comfort and uptime
Unbridled productivity and outstanding efficiency for animal-friendly milking in 24/7 operation. Developed for dairy farms worldwide that demand performance at the highest level.
Whether it’s cow flow, milking process or milk transportation, the T8900 rotary milking parlor (US-model T8800) is designed for efficient processes and top performance. Mid-sized to very large herds are milked in 32-120 milking stalls with an outstanding ratio of manpower and milk yield. Without exception, all components are geared for maximum service life and highest reliability in 24/7 operation. Let the unequaled performance of the T8900 convince you!
The workplace at the rotary milking parlor is perfectly organized. Every step is in sync: open view and free access to the udder, attaching arm as well as milking cluster ergonomically positioned. In just seconds the cows move to the free milking stall. With smooth surfaces and round forms, the especially low-profile cabinets are made with a cow’s anatomy in mind. For high milking comfort, thanks to a positioning arm free of leverage force, the milking cluster can be positioned individually for each udder. Round after round the cows stay relaxed. Secure optimal conditions with the DairyRotor T8900 for maximum throughput performance.
With the T8900, everything comes together in a high-speed network: The innovative carousel system control GEA DairyMilk M6330 allows you to visualize and control processes in real time. Milking stall occupancy, animal data and current milking results are available for the milker at a glance on the touchscreen. ID systems recognize the cow when it walks onto the platform. In the background, milking management is taken over by milking control units and the milk-flow-controlled automatic detachment system.
The slightly sloped deck guides water and dirt away from the milker towards the groove in the middle. A generously sized splash shield protects the milking technology and the interior from sprayed liquids. After automatic cluster removal, automated disinfection prepares the milking unit for the next gentle milking procedure. You can rely on clean hygiene.
With the T8900, you invest in high reliability. High-quality, operationally safe materials and the extremely robust design stand for longest possible running times of the rotary milking parlor. By choosing the milking stall position (75°/90°) as well as the entry form (V-shaped/parallel), you adapt the system’s design to your individual ideas. You select the milking technology components from GEA’s perfectly aligned product range to fit your budget. Realize your ideal system concept for milking times without downtime!
Reduced friction, less running resistance, lowest wear and tear: The most powerful rotary milking parlor from GEA’s DairyRotor line impresses with minimal energy consumption and infrequent maintenance intervals. Depending on country requirements, the reliable drives and easily rotating rollers are manufactured differently:
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.
Engineering innovation often takes the form of incremental gains. Once in a while, it takes a leap. Case in point: The washing machine. Launched in September 2022, two new GEA software solutions are upending convention and delivering similarly dramatic efficiency gains in the resource-intensive process of membrane filtration.
