Feeding Robot – GEA DairyFeed F4500
Feeding is the biggest cost factor in managing a farm. Here, the quality, frequency, and optimization of mixed rations for each group of cows are decisive to milk production. This is where the GEA DairyFeed F4500 feeding robot helps farmers to have more flexibility for their daily routines as well as precise management of their feeding strategy.
Powering the Future of Sustainable Farming: the GEA DairyFeed F4500 earns the Add Better ecolabel
Energy efficiency is a cornerstone of sustainable farming - and the F4500 leads the way. By using the Feeding Robot from GEA, you not only significantly reduce manual labor but also optimize feed distribution and minimize waste from uneaten leftovers. Compared to a traditional diesel-powered tractor (120 PS) with a 9m³ mixing wagon, the F4500 is up to 60% more energy-efficient.
Why? Because electric equipment converts nearly all the energy into usable power, while combustion engines lose a large portion as heat.
Make the switch to a cleaner, smarter way to feed — choose the GEA DairyFeed F4500.
Precise mapping for reliable navigation
Fitted with navigation sensors, the F4500 creates a precise map of the farm allowing to work out the ideal routes for distributing feed. The robot can constantly localise its position, recognise obstacles and avoid collisions, safely navigating between barns, on uneven floors and traveling on inclines of up to 10%. With the F4500 no major farm modifications are needed!
Optimize milk production, animal health, save time and reduce workload
Automatic 24/7 feeding routines
The autonomous feeding robot weighs, mixes and distributes up to 2.2 m3 of fresh TMR feed every hour for up to 300 animals in different nutritional groups. It ensures that customised rations are perfectly prepared in accordance with the feeding cycles set by you. The robot also takes over the work of feed pushing after and between cycles.
Intelligent feed analysis and optimization
With the F4500 you can check feed consumption and leftovers and adjust the amount of the next rations accordingly to minimize feed waste. It is also possible to analyse mix quality, allowing for adjustments of the mixture based on your feeding strategy for the best possible animal health.
Synchronisation of feeding and milking data
GEA feeding and milking robots are digitally connected via DairyNet, enabling feeding and milk output and quality data to be synchronised round-the-clock. This accurately optimizes feeding strategy and milk production.
Automated feeding routines that include analysis and optimization
Perfect cooperation and a clean kitchen
The design of the F4500 contributes to a cleaner kitchen and can be perfectly integrated with all kitchen equipment. Bunkers, silos, mineral, and liquid containers ensure the safe, hygienic storage and distribution of valuable feed ingredients.
GEA bunkers have a volume of 16 m3, the stainless-steel bottom plate ensures long lifespan and two augers an even dosing. In addition, the shut-off valve promotes a clean kitchen, avoiding extra work.
