What is Conventional Milking?
A conventional milking system involves a set milking schedule where a dairyman manages the milking process, including harvesting milk and ensuring a positive milking experience for the cows.

DeLaval Herringbone Parlours & DeLaval Rotary Parlour

DeLaval Herringbone Parlour HB50
Strong and Durable
DeLaval HB50 rumprail and frame components are made from 50 mm (2″) steel tubing. The suspended beam frame adds further strength and longevity. This 2 ½” x5″ rectangle beam frame gives added rigidity for even the largest parlors. The slanted galvanized butt pans are standard and stainless steel is an option. This design, combined with hot dip galvanization of every welded component, provides strength and a long operating life.

Operator Comfort and Safety
Operator safety is prioritized in DeLaval HB50. With no posts between the butt pan and curbing, there’s no risk of the milker’s arm being kicked against a post. The top rump rail is offset closer to the operator pit than the lower rump rail and follows the contour of the cow’s back legs in their natural standing position. This enables the cow to stand comfortably and close to the operator making it safer for the milker. With the optional air indexing that moves the cow closer to the kick rail and butt pan, the udder is easy to reach. This speeds up cluster attachment while helping reduce the risk of back strain.

DeLaval Rotary E100
Improved Operational Systems
The DeLaval Cockpit™ gives you the ability to run the entire shed all within one arm’s length of where you stand at “cups-on”. Visibility and control for the operator creates a safer environment; a larger, higher definition touchscreen control panel and the look-through bail that makes it easier to keep your eyes on everything and act quickly and effectively. More control means fewer disruptions to cow flow and improved access to relevant data.
