Rotary Milking Parlour - 400 cows per hour
The Dairymaster Side by side Rotary Parlour is the
world's most advanced rotary parlour system. All of
our technology in conventional parlours may be
utilised in this system as well as many new
developments in this unique design.
Cows enter through a race in which they are
individually identified and walk onto the revolving
platform. Feed may be automatically dispensed
according to pre-programmed quantities, which may be
based on production in terms of yield, weight gain
or stage of lactation.
Swing over Side by Side Milking Parlour
|
 |
The Dairymaster Side by Side Swing Over Parlour is
one of the most efficient, comfortable and cow
friendly milking system available.
This system has been the most popular choice among
progressive dairy farmers when deciding on milking
systems based on ease of operation and parlour
throughout in terms of cows per hour and
litres/pounds of milk per operator per hour.
Operator comfort is second to none due to many
labour saving devices from swing over arms milk
diversion to complete parlour automation.
Clusters
|
 |
The Dairymaster Cluster has developed a well
deserved name for being the best on the market. In a
recent scientific trail over a full lactation the
Dairymaster Cluster yielded 5% more when compared to
another commonly used commercially available
cluster.
The cluster is a unique combination of the
Dairymaster claw, shells and our super soft 916S
liner.
It is produced from high-grade impact resistant
materials which enhances both durability and
hygiene. Milk flow is clearly visible through its
transparent bowl.
Liners
The Dairymaster 916S liner when used in conjunction
with our pulsation and clusters has achieved great
success for dairy farmers in every continent of the
world.
Our super soft liners are specially designed and
manufactured to ensure high performance with
exceptional milking characteristics, low slip levels
and excellent durability
Pulsation
|
 |
The pulsation system is one of the most important
components in the milking plant. Dairymaster's
research focuses heavily on both design and testing
to optimise operation of the pulsation system.
Our pulsation system is widely recognised as being
the leader in reliability, consistency and easy
maintenance.
It doesn't stop here! Digital controllers display
the pulsation rate and ratio on the front panel. The
number of outputs in use is selected based on the
size of installation. Vacuum consumption is
minimised as a result of phased outputs.
The rate and ratio are easily selected.
An additional switch is provided to facilitate the
flushing out of relays with water when the machine
is serviced. This ensures that dirt deposits, which
may build up and reduce the diameter of the
pulsation tubes will not interfere with the
pulsation characteristics.
Swing Over Arms
|
 |
Swing over arms are a very popular choice for swing
across milking parlours. The swing over arms are
constructed from stainless steel for many years of
trouble free use. Swing over arms offer several
advantages:
- The pit is much clearer and provides a
better working environment by reducing the space
the droppers and clusters take up in the pit.
- Milk hoses are shorter, this means better
milking and reduced maintenance costs.
- Less 'pull' on the cluster.
- When used in conjunction with the milk meter
the swing over arm can activate the electronic
milk meter control panel automatically and
indicate that a new cow is being milked.
- Utilising the swing over arm with the Milk
Manager Sound Messaging System cows, which are
flagged with messages, will have their message
repeated over a speaker when the swing over arm
is activated thereby audibly alerting the
operator to a specific situation.
- An automatic cluster remover can be
activated by moving the arm which initiates the
milking sequence.
- Labour saving as no extra work is required.
Milk Diversion Lines
Dairymaster have designed a unique milk diversion
system. The system consists of a separate milk line,
diversion valve (shown opposite), receiver and milk
pump.
Milk can be diverted by operating a switch or
pressing a button. The milk diversion line can be
used with milk meters, automatic cluster removers or
standalone.
There is no need for any pipe disconnection or other
attachments to the milking equipment for either
milking or washing.
Automatic Cluster Removers.
The Dairymaster Automatic Cluster Remover accurately
and consistently monitors the flow of milk during
milking. When milking is finished, vacuum is removed
and the cluster is detached from the cow.
- Stainless steel ram construction ensures
maximum durability and reliability.
- It is the only cluster remover that can
monitor flow in two milk lines and allows milk
to be diverted at the touch of a button.
- A unique flow sensor accurately monitors end
of milking detection.
- Wash mode can be selected at just one
milking unit.
- Easy adjustment. All settings can be
modified from one point.
- Remove override function.
- Restart facility.
- Option of swing arm operation.
- Auto initiation. Cluster release and vacuum
are applied when the operator handles the
cluster.
- Gentle removal. Vacuum is removed from the
claw before the ram is activated.
Recording Jars
Quick, clean and accurate.
Recording jars provide an alternative means to milk
meters to measure cow milk yields. Dairymaster have
developed the "turbo" jar recording system in a
highly efficient single lever control design to
provide a number of options.
This is only a small list of equipment and
items available please

Automatic Scraper systems
Acknowledged throughout the world for unequalled
standards of reliability and adaptability, the
Dairymaster track type system is very low
maintenance and exceptionally easy to operate and
control. Designed with the welfare of the cow
uppermost in mind, scraping automatically stops if
obstructions are detected using Dairymaster's
patented cow down detection technology.
Key Features:
Outstanding Flexibility:
No other system can match Dairymaster in coping with
these situations.
- Individual passages can be scraped.
- Odd numbers of passages can be easily
accommodated.
- Passages can be unequal in length.
- Passages do not have to be parallel.
- Passages can be at right angles.
- Varying levels can be accommodated.
Automatic and Manual Operation:
Although designed for daily operation any passageway
can be given individual attention - an extra scrape
for instance - or stopped completely, without
affecting the other passageways.
Economical to run - Virtually maintenance free.
- Generally causes no major disruptions to
farm routines - even in winter.
- Completely powered from a standard
waterproof industrial socket.
Heavy Duty Scraper
Double ratchet mechanism eliminates false tripping
and allows wider and longer passages to be cleaned.
Patented cow down detection stops both track and
saddle when an overload condition is detected.
The extra weight in the Dairymaster saddle ensures a
better scrape with each cycle. Each track is formed
from heavy gauge steel and has a guide rail which is
anchored at two points using self-expanding high
tensile fixing bolts.
There is a range of heavy duty scraper
saddles available to suit the needs of all types of
passages.
The robust heavy gauge rambox ensures that the ram
is fully enclosed and protected from the
environment.
Robust Fully enclosed Rambox
Hydraulic hoses are routed to the power unit via a
sealed pipe, which further protects them from
degradation. It is fully hot dip galvanised which
will mean A LONGER WORKING LIFE.
Hydraulic Power Pack and Controls
- The power unit has been designed for a long
and trouble free life.
- It's designed to control up to eight
passages.
- Internal plumbing is fabricated using
stainless steel tubing.
- The hydraulic pump is protected by a double
oil filtration system on suction and return
lines.
- The oil level and temperature is visible at
all times and level is continuously monitored by
a float switch.
- There is a choice of digital or analogue
control depending on requirements.
Digital or Analogue
Digital Control
Digital control provides the ultimate in flexibility
while still being user friendly and easy to operate.
It boasts many unique features including passage
waiting, temporary inhibit, multiple part
positioning, unlimited park position, on-screen
messaging, channel waiting and programme sequencing.
Analogue Control
Analogue control has a switch for each passage,
which may be selected from a choice of two automatic
sequences or manual operation. Dairymaster's unique
cow down detection is also standard with this
system. Passages are normally parked at the rambox,
which is loaded at one end of the passage.
