Milking Systems Built Around Your Farm.
New installations and upgrades across a range of configurations — planned around your herd, your building and the way you want to work.
The Right Configuration For The Way You Milk.
There is no single configuration that suits every dairy. The right choice depends on your herd size, building layout, milking routine and where you want the farm to be in ten years.
Herringbone parlour, showing the angled stall arrangement.
Herringbone
Angled stalls
Cows stand at an angle to the milking pit, giving the operator excellent access and visibility. A proven, versatile layout suited to a wide range of herd sizes.
Parallel parlour showing side-by-side stalls.
Parallel
Side-by-side stalls
Cows stand perpendicular to the milking pit, creating a compact arrangement with excellent operator access. Well suited where efficient cow flow and higher throughput are priorities.
Rotary parlour in operation, ideally showing platform scale.
Rotary
Continuous flow
Cows step onto a rotating platform and are milked as they travel around the parlour. Designed for efficient, continuous cow flow and high throughput in larger herds.
Designed For The Size Of Your Dairy.
From smaller installations through to a 60-point rotary. Bigger is not better — the right parlour is the one that suits the farm.

The Intelligence Behind Your Parlour.
A modern parlour is more than steel and equipment. Afimilk provides the intelligence behind the system — recognising every cow, controlling key processes and turning information from each milking into meaningful herd data. Available for new parlours and as part of selected parlour upgrades.
- Identification — Identify cows as they enter the parlour or individually at each stall, providing the foundation for accurate, cow-specific management.
- Feeding control — Allocate feed to individual cows according to their requirements, automatically and accurately.
- Separation gates — Automatically draft cows requiring attention as they leave the parlour, reducing manual handling and making routine management easier.
- AfiFarm — Bring milking, feeding and individual cow data together in one place, giving you a clearer understanding of the herd.
A Parlour Is Part Of A Complete Dairy.
The parlour is one part of a wider system. How the cooling, sorting and working areas sit around it shapes how the whole dairy runs day to day.
