ApolloMilkSystem: Milking, dipping, flushing all in one GEA Farm Technologies has developed an automatic dipping and back-flush system in its ApolloMilkSystem. These two functionalities were combined with the proven advantages of the IQ milking cluster. The integration of the dipping and disinfection processes automates two work- and time-intensive steps. Dairy farmers, who want to improve their work processes, increase productivity and enhance the udder health of their herd, can obtain a technology in the ApolloMilkSystem, which makes milking in select side-by-side milking stalls or auto-rotors more efficient. • Automatic dipping in the teat cup under a vacuum directly before taking off the milking clusters • Safe and controlled use of the dipping substance • Complete back-flush cycle after taking off the ApolloIQ milking clusters (flushing with water and then with air, disinfection with disinfection solution and renewed flushing with water and air) • The safety valve prevents a transfer of dipping substance into the milk area by means of a reliable separation of the milk from the dipping process. • Fits in select side-by-side milking stands and auto-rotors. Feeding systems for successful automation in dairy livestock farming Intake of feed and the quality of the feed are key factors in the productivity of dairy farms. Automation by intelligent equipment helps in decisively improving feed intake and efficient utilization. The GEA MixFeeder of the Mullerup product line takes over all other work- and time-intensive tasks of feeding in the freestall barn by full automation. It starts with the composition of the various feed mixtures, to the exact weights at the silage bunkers, continues with thorough mixing and then dispenses the feed into the different feeding tables for performance cows, heifers or dry cows. The dosages of the feed mixtures, information on the individual feeding tables, as well as the frequency of feedings are controlled perfectly by a computer as per the preset definitions. The MixFeeder runs on a mono-rail and is particularly energy-saving for it is operated by battery. • Battery-driven, rail-mounted and computer controlled feeder for fully automated feeding • 4 energy-efficient models depending on application and barn size: PLUS, XL, AC, AC XL • Space-saving integration or upgrading, suitable for freestalls with feeding tables > 2m • Effective complete solution for future-oriented production farms GEA Farm Technologies GmbH · Contact: Tel +49(0)2383-93-7801 · Fax +49-(0)2383-93-8801 · www.gea.com Page 4 of 5
