iXPRESS4+ Swing Over Herringbone Parlour
GEA’s iXPRESS4+ offers a very cost-effective solution for highly efficient throughput with low maintenance and maximum reliability for progressive dairy farms. This easily customisable mid-line herringbone parlour offers the ability to milk as many as 400 cows every hour.
The iXPRESS4+ comes as a kitset. The system arrives at your farm ready for ‘bolt-together’ installation without the need for any engineering experience on your part. Any future upgrades are equally as simple to apply in order to tailor this parlour to the growth of your operation.
Integrated control:
Control panels are easy to access and customisable from various areas of your milking parlour – always fast access to plant start/shut-off, milk pumps, plant wash and purge, and milk sensors.
Automatic teat sprayer:
A walk-over teat sprayer automatically detects and sprays teats while cows make their exit to save you time and labour.
Automatic cup removers:
Automatic cup removers with a heavy duty ram and kick-off sensors can be easily added.
Always accurate cluster alignment:
A-symmetrical cluster alignment guides the cluster from side to side, offsetting each cluster’s location to improve your workspace and ensure comfort for your animals.
Save on labour:
The system’s automation choices available dramatically reduce workload throughout the process – from the holding yard, to the parlour, to the exit gate, to heat detection.
No fuss assembly:
GEA’s ‘Bolt-together’ construction combats build error to ensure accurate assembly.
Low input:
Only one operator required for the entire process.
Increased throughput:
Enjoy higher throughput, with up to 50 clusters.
Simple maintenance:
Nylon bushes and a long-life generation pulsator are made to last in tough conditions with low maintenance required.
Cow comfort:
Stalls are flexible to ensure easy movement for all sizes of cow, while the precision alignment of clusters makes for comfortable milking with less liner slips.
Herd management integration:
Integrating herd management software allows you to efficiently manage individual animal health, the production process, reproduction and feed intake.
