Dairy Farming - knowledgebase and resources

Hello reply.rathi,

Midi-Line / Swing over Parlour milking system is specially designed to secure cost efficiency while providing top performance on your dairy farm.
A cost effective milking parlor system is the Midi Line also known as swing over system. By using the milk clusters for both sides of the milking pit, you can maximize the use of each cluster. The vacuum system is smaller and cheaper and as it only uses half the traditional amount of milking clusters, it makes the system a cost effective simple solution and economically viable system for small herds. You can also add provisions for electronic milk metering, automatic take off’s and electronic Herd management systems and CIP (clean in Place) systems can be incorporated. Use of Alkaline and Acidic detergents recommended to prevent scaling in SS pipes.
This cost effective milking parlor system goes from a basic system to a highly automated one. In such systems, one person can handle up to 12 cows in one hour.

For 100 cows 2x 6/12 is fine. When one side milking is on, you can do the pre milking routines on the other side thereby saving time. Similarly, post milking routines can also be done avoiding waiting time for the cows to be milked.
