Herringbone 30° - 60° simple and efficient milking parlour with many possibilities
Fast Entrance
The herringbone milking parlour was originally designed to reduce waste time and thusincrease efficiency. These advantages are still prevailing in the modern herringbone plant in which the cows quickly find their milking places and are ready for milking.
A very simple gate system keeps the cows in their milking spot during milking. Subsequently all cows are released at the same time and leave the plant at a rapid pace.
Easy Access for the Milker
Whether the milking plant has been constructed as a 30º or a 60º herringbone parlour the milker will have easy access. The pattern of movements and the working position will be perfect in a herringbone plant. The cows are milked from the side in a 30º solution and from behind in the 60º parlour. The latter will be the obvious choice, if a rather short and wide milking parlour is wanted, while the 30º solution will be the optimum choice, if a narrow and long parlour is required. All depending on the space the farmers has for building and about its own prevailance.
Result 60° versus 30°:
Shorter distance between cows - less walking for the milker.
Working position of the milker is very close to the cow.
The milking takes place between the rear legs of the cow - good working position.
