Key benefits
High performance milking equipment
Fast throughput demands high performance milking equipment. DeLaval milking equipment is designed to ensure fast milk let down and milkout. The cow and a half entry allows for quick entry and fewer chances of empty stalls. The angled stalls help for faster entrance and exit off the platform. The easy exit, cow exit bow requires minimal movement for the cow to exit the ramp.
- Fast throughput
- Angled stalls
- Easy exit, cow exit bow
Robust design
To ensure its operation 24/7, it has been engineered and built to the highest quality reducing the cost of maintenance. The PR3100HD rotary has a number of features designed specifically to handle this. These include a heavy-duty swivel and heavy-duty stainless steel cabinets and stalls. The automation and milking components are well protected under the deck. The patented self-tracking nylon multi-roller system requires minimal lubrication and no bearings. The even power distribution of the drive motors are more efficient than hydraulic drives. Redundancy provides back-up protection at a fraction of the cost.
- Multiple electric variable speed drive motors
- Self-tracking patented nylon multi-roller system

Robert Vander Eyk and Sons Dairy

Pixley, California
Herd size

"We are milking 300 more cows with the same labor in less time."
Since upgrading to a DeLaval Rotary milking system PR3100HD, Robert Vander Eyk and Sons Dairy has seen a positive change in their farm’s work efficiency and ability to spend time on farm chores that previously had little room for attention. Increasing the number of cows that the farm is able to milk per hour has saved on time, and freed up labor for additional tasks. Bob shares that, “We can get more done in less time, leaving more time for other non-herd health chores such as corral maintenance, hay processing, composting, and farming.”
In addition to the rotary parlor, the Vander Eyk family has installed several DeLaval sort gates to aid in cow flow. The sort gates have reduced the amount of labor previously needed to fetch cows, allowing other employees to be productive elsewhere.
