Herringbone Parlours
Herringbone Milking Systems
Cow Positioning
The Herringbone rump rail construction and height over the cow stand allows fast cluster application due to clearer access to the udder. The straight or cranked rail design gives fast cow entry and is comfortable for different cow sizes.
Comfort
The tapered rump rail of the herringbone parlour overhangs the pit edge reducing the reach of the operator for cluster attachment. With the cows legs close to the pit edge, the Pearson folded kerb rail gives a strong barrier, preventing cows putting their hoofs into the pit, creating a comfortable environment for cow and operator.
Double Up Milking Parlour
Minimum Space with Maximum Performance
To create maximum output within a minimum space, double up parlours are a great option.
There is one milking unit per cow. The units are positioned at either side of the milking pit.
Pit lengths are considerably shorter with double up parlours than with swingover parlours allowing fast loading and unloading of cows & shorter walking distances for operators.
Features:
- Cluster support for comfortable milking.
- Durable heavy duty construction.
- Stainless steel cabinet option.
- High throughput.
- Ability to add on extra features easily.
- Less operator walking.
Install more units when restricted with space.
Parlour Cow Standings
50 degree milking
Cow flow
A 50 degree milking position provides a fast cow flow due to the cow only having to turn 50 degrees into position. This speeds up cow entry and exit from the manger system on exit.
Comfort
Cows position themselves in a head on bely position in a herringbone fashion, with this when the cows increase in size (e.g. in calf) they fit more uniform & comfortably into the total length of the parlour.
85 degree milking
Comfort
85 degree milking position with the Pearson’s sequential bailing or yoking system provides total comfort for the cow. Once locked into position there is no poaching or bulling occurring during the milking process.
Cow flow
85 degree milking with the sequential bail system allows fast entry & exit of the cows through the parlour.
MidLine Milking Parlour
Start With Quality
Choosing to install a MidLine milking system is the base equipment for excellent milking. All Pearson parlours are fitted with high performance milking clusters, reliable pulsation systems and strong heavy duty stall work.
Expandable
All Pearson parlours are easily upgradeable, whether it is the number of units or level of technology.
Features:
- Low installation cost.
- Durable heavy duty construction.
- Minimal maintenance.
- High throughput.
- Ability to easily add on extra equipment.
SwingOver Milking Parlour
Comfort
The stainless steel SwingOver parlour ensures a comfortable cluster position for the cow. The swing arm supports the milk and pulsation tubes giving the best milking position for the cluster while on the cows udder. This also gives comfort to the operator ensuring an open and clear milking pit to work in.
True Efficiency
Once milking starts, clusters are applied to the first row of cows, the opposite row can be loaded before the first clusters come off the first row. As the clusters are removed from the first row they are swung across to the next side. This minimises down time of the cluster and keeps all milking units busy during the total milking process.
Features:
- Cluster support for comfortable milking.
- Durable heavy duty construction.
- Stainless steel swing arm.
- High throughput.
- Ability to easily add on extra features.
- Capital equipment minimal for maximum throughput.
