Two herringbone milking parlours – one recipe for success:

An excellent view of the animalEfficient and versatile milking – this concept has madethe EuroClass 1200 herringbone a true classic. Thespacious 1200 mm modular dimension provides a lot ofspace for monitoring the individual animals and ensuresan ergonomic working posture.

Stress-free milkingThe classic EuroClass 1200 is a recipe for success: every-thing runs quickly, but without any stress. The animalsenter and leave the milking parlour with ease throughthe wide passageway. The sturdy animalfriendly framedesign with comfortable 2" rump rails guarantee boththat the operator has a clear view of the udder and thatthe animal takes up the right position.

The crucial step forward“Rapid Exit“, two words signalling an important stepforward: the EuroClass system specially developed formedium sized herds. The crucial difference between this and a conventional herringbone milking parlour isthe new front exit. The result is a super-fast exit, muchhigher throughput, more time saved and greater eco-nomy.

The figures prove itWith the same size herd, the fact that the animals exitmore quickly reduces the changeover time by about50% compared with the conventional EuroClass 1200.With shorter waiting times for the animals, throughputrates are 15% higher. So, a faster exit for your animals is your passport to higher productivity.

Full marks for positioningThe breast rail with integrated indexing enables rapidyet perfect positioning of the animals. This saves timebecause the clusters are applied more quickly and milk is released more easily because the animals are morerelaxed. Another bonus is the flexible height adjustmentof the breast rail, which makes it adaptable to the varioussizes of the different breeds.
