Milking Parlours

Milking Parlours for Modern Dairy Farms

Delmer milking parlours are engineered dairy milking systems designed to make cow milking more organized, hygienic, efficient and comfortable for both cows and operators. We supply complete milking parlour solutions for dairy farms, including Herringbone, Tandem and Rapid Exit Parallel configurations, with options for integrated milking equipment and farm-specific layouts.

Choose the Right Milking Parlour

Different dairy farms require different parlour configurations. Delmer can help select a suitable arrangement based on herd size, milking routine, available building space, desired throughput and the level of automation required.

Herringbone Milking Parlour: A practical and widely used configuration that provides organized cow positioning, clear operator access and efficient milking routines.

Tandem Milking Parlour: A stall-by-stall configuration that allows individual cows to enter and leave independently, making it suitable for farms that value controlled cow flow and individual handling.

Rapid Exit Parallel Parlour: A parallel configuration designed for efficient cow movement and fast exit from the milking area, suitable for higher-throughput dairy operations.

Complete Dairy Milking System

A milking parlour is more than the standing structure. Delmer can integrate the parlour with suitable dairy farm automation and milking solutions, the Delmer Visual Milk Meter for individual cow milk-yield measurement, and Delmer Milking Clusters for reliable milking. This allows the milking area to be planned as one coordinated system rather than as disconnected equipment.

Designed Around Your Dairy Farm

For new dairy projects and parlour upgrades, Delmer can support the equipment selection and layout planning process. The final configuration should be based on the herd, building dimensions, cow flow, operator workflow, milking frequency, utilities and future expansion plans. Contact Delmer for a project-specific milking parlour consultation.

Milking Parlour Questions

What is a milking parlour?

A milking parlour is a dedicated area where cows are positioned in an organized layout for milking. The parlour can be configured with different stall arrangements and integrated with milking and milk-handling equipment.

What is the difference between Herringbone, Tandem and Parallel parlours?

These configurations differ mainly in how cows are positioned and how they enter and leave the milking area. The appropriate choice depends on herd size, cow flow, operator workflow, available space and the required milking throughput.
