WestfaliaSurge has set a new standard for herringbone milking parlours with the introduction of the new Global 45 series parlour featuring a pneumatically operated Rapid exit system and a uniquely designed parlour profile.  The wide corner-free passageway has no sharp edges, which increases animal comfort.

The Global 45 milking parlour includes the newly developed straight breast rails with partitions that are used as the front profiles.  The frame has been designed for operating at a very high loading rate with minimal animal stress, fast positioning with perfect cow indexing, and rapid group changes.  The self-supporting design guarantees good visibility and easy, safe access to the cows.

The partitions integrated in the breast rails ensure the cows are positioned easily and comfortably.  A smooth indexing function, which moves the cows rearward closer to the dairyman, positions the cows into the best milking position.  Each stall position can be easily adjusted manually to match the breed of cow or the cow’s size.  Different sized cows in the same milking group can be quickly positioned at a 45° angle to the dairyman’s pit, saving time during entry.

The profile at the side of the pit has been shaped to match the cow’s body contour.  Rugged stainless steel angled manure plates are fitted in each stall to protect the dairyman.  The two 2” cranked rump rails are slightly offset above one another to form an ideal ergonomic line matching the cows’ body contour.  This provides the cow with sufficient room for standing comfortably yet safely holds the cow in an optimum milking position.

A compressed air cylinder opens and closes the front gate to ensure a rapid exit.  The spacious entrance area and the Rapid exit system clearly accelerates the group change of animals and makes the Global 45 parlour one of the fastest milking throughput parlours in existence.

WestfaliaSurge supplies the Global 45 for all herd sizes ranging from a double-6 up to a double-40 milking stall configuration. If your herd grows, you can easily expand your dairy parlour with individual four-stage modules.

Another option available to dairy producers is the integration of the dairy technology systems in the extensive MultiLine milking parlour paneling that can be fitted at the side of the milking pit.  MultiLine protects all of the components from dust and humidity while simultaneously reducing the noise level during milking. MultiLine can be easily opened for maintenance purposes.
