Our masterpiece in automatic milking
More economical with every box
Low consumption values and operating costs are the key to sustainability and economic success.
This is why GEA was the first manufacturer to participate in the DLG consumption test with the Dairy Robot R9500 for the fourth time.
In order to be able to demonstrate the savings effect of a multi-box system, not only the single-box system (1-box) but also the multi-box system (2-box) of the GEA DairyRobot R9500 was tested.
Transparency is the key to demonstrating the benefits of innovative solutions.
That's why the GEA DairyRobot R9500 is the only automatic milking system on the market with built-in electricity and water meters, so you can keep an eye on your consumption data at all times.
But that is not enough: Our milking robot is a true energy-saver and supports sustainable dairy farming! After the monobox system this has now also been proven for the multibox system.

New DLG test now also confirms outstanding resource efficiency of the automatic milking system (AMS) GEA DairyRobot R9500 as a multibox system (2-box)
With every additional box the power and water consumption is further reduced since up to four milking robots can be connected to one supply unit. You can now make even better use of this degression effect: Because from now on up to eight milking robots can be connected to one milk line and up to 16 robots can be connected to one tank!
Independent DLG test confirms the outstanding resource efficiency of the DairyRobot R9500 (2-box)
The GEA DairyRobot R9500 (2-box) is the most economical automated milking system (AMS) tested by the DLG in terms of water consumption.** The profi magazine confirmed the best values for water consumption in all calculated operating scenarios.*
The GEA DairyRobot R9500 (2-box) is the most economical automated milking system (AMS) tested by the DLG in standby power consumption.**
Based on the DLG results, the profi magazine has confirmed: The GEA DairyRobot R9500 (2-Box) achieves excellent results in power consumption. Especially in scenario 1, optimized operation, the DairyRobot R9500 2-box system performs up to 20% better than the other 2-box systems tested by the DLG, with 1.1 kWh per 100 l of milk.
We stand for full transparency

Next Generation Technology for Next Generation Farming
Next Generation Farming - that is our understanding of "Engineering for a better world", and this is clearly reflected in our innovative solutions. The comparsion of the DLG test results of the previous version of GEA Dairy Robot R9500 tested in 2018 (1-Box) and 2019 (2-box) with the lastest version tested in 2022 ( 1-box) and 2023 (2-box) showed the continuous development of our masterpiece in the single-box and multi-box system. For more efficiency and sustainability - for your success!Here are the most important results in brief:
GEA R9500 single-box system:
Up to 12 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 35.1 liters of water per 100 liters of tank milk compared to the previous version*GEA R9500 multi-box system (2-box):
Up to 18 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 31.6 liters of water per 100 liters of tank milk compared to the previous version*
GEA R9500 single-box system:
Up to 35 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 107 kWh per day and box compared to the previous version**
GEA R9500 multi-box System (2-Box):
Up to 31 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 87.1 kWh per day and box compared to the previous version**
GEA R9500 single-box system:
Up to 33 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 1.5 kWh per 100 liters of tank milk compared to the previous version*
GEA R9500 multi-box system (2-box):
Up to 29 % improvement - reduction in consumption to just 1.1 kWh per 100 liters of tank milk compared to the previous version*

For a practical simulation, DLG uses artificial udders to measure different milk flows and quantities.
The DLG records different measured values during the tests. Using different calculation models, farms can then calculate their consumption levels.

The DLG test procedure is the gold standard.
Based on its experience in the tractor sector, the Agrarmagazin profi took the initiative in 2012 and developed the world's only measurement standard for a manufacturer-independent test of automatic milking systems together with the milking technology manufacturers
- GEA, Lely, DeLaval and Fullwood,
- the German Agricultural Society (DLG), and the
- Bavarianthe Bavarian State Research Center for Agriculture (LfL).
The first tests were conducted in 2014. Since then, any manufacturer can be tested at the DLG Test Center in Groß-Umstadt (Germany).
