For those looking for fully automated milking, we also supply, install and maintain the MIone robotic milking system.
Milking parlours to suit every need
We have experience in installing and servicing all types of milking parlours on wide range of farms. We can help you find a parlour to suit your needs and once this is decided and the order placed, we can provide the necessary plans for your builder with all the required specifications, measurements and services.
Once the building work is complete, we will ensure that the installation proceeds as smoothly as possible. We will keep you fully informed of progress, and let you know which of our ParlourSafe accredited engineers will be working on your milking parlour. We will try not to disturb the working day on the farm, but where this can’t be avoided we will liaise with you to keep the disruption to a minimum.
Once finished the new milking equipment will be tested to BS ISO 6690:2007, which is the current standard for milking installations in the UK. We show you how the new equipment works and will make sure you are completely familiar with it before we leave. We will also give you a full set of the operating manuals and wiring and instrumentation diagrams, along with the new milking parlour warranty schedule, which will be fully explained.
