Rotary Parlor iFLOW Platform

GEA’s Rotary Parlor iFLOW Platform is a modular milking system which is custom-built around the needs of your milking operation and overall dairy business objectives.

From increased animal throughput to better data on your cows, to reduced labour requirements, to maximum automation, and low maintenance reliability guaranteed, this milking system is built around your dairy farm needs to drive performance.

Key Feature

Tailored to you:
The iFLOW milking system is engineered so that it can be custom built around the exact needs of your dairy farm. It’s simple but clever modular design drives efficiency while offering attractive flexibility for expanding dairy operations. Its design is based on simplicity, strength and ergonomics for long life and trouble-free operation.

Hard wearing:
The iFLOW includes a reinforced concrete deck on a raised plinth. The milking machine is mounted under the platform to ensure both maximum protection and ease of accessibility for maintenance. A subway roller carriage system underneath the platform employs heavy duty nylon rollers which run between the lower and upper steel beams (double ‘I’ beam), with tensioners evenly distributed to maintain correct roller alignment. Rollers are located every 600mm for even distribution of platform weight, which results in less wear on rollers and longer life.

The largest circumference drive wheels available on the market ensure reduced pressure on the beams that drive the platform, which results in less wear and tear.

Using nylon rollers rather than steel means there’s no wear strip needed and no bearings.  The iFlow’s automatic lubrication system, means that messy manual oil lubrication is not required.

Key Benefits
