Rotary Milking Systems

Rotary milking platforms enable a single operator to comfortably milk larger herds with maximum effeciency. The technology in semi-automated and fully automated dairy farming has come along way since inception, and we are excited to be part of the future of the industry. The efficiency that automation affords us helps to keep both the livestock and the operators happy.
We supply and install automated bail arm control, automated teat spraying, automated cup removers with programmable parameters to tailor milking performance to individual herds and the requirements of the operators.

All new Read Industrial rotary systems come with sliding mechanical pulsators (which are guaranteed for ten years) as well as a vacuum system powered by a liquid-ring or blower type pump.

The rotary system is designed to be used by a single operator, every day, twice per day with minimal servicing requirements. As experts in their field, our system suppliers are able to offer the latest available, quality technology which has been developed off the back of decades of experience and industry know-how.

Scalability of the rotary milking system is uncapped, and we can offer from 20 bails up to 100 bails, or more.
