At GEA, we know your farming business is unique and that’s exactly why the iFLOW’s modular design is customised to suit not only your dairy, but also your business goals.
Whether you’re looking for improved cow throughput, increased cow knowledge, ease of operation, high-end automation, improved staffing efficiencies, or simply a reliable system that pays for itself by way of reliability and low maintenance then you need a system that’s built to fit your farm.
With over 40 years experience helping our farmers increase efficiencies and improve their bottom-line, we confidently combine local ingenuity and world-class engineering to supply a milking platform custom-built to suit your needs.
The iFLOW system is hailed as the trouble-free system that goes and goes, offering you the lowest total cost of ownership of any rotary platform on the market.
A simple, but clever modular system, it’s low maintenance and provides efficiency and flexibility for growing operations. In most circumstances, it only requires an annual service.
The iFLOW consists of a reinforced concrete deck on a raised plinth. The milking machine is mounted under the platform, so it’s physically protected and easily accessible for maintenance. It runs quietly and is hard wearing.
Under the platform is a subway roller carriage system. Heavy duty nylon rollers run between the upper and lower steel beams (double ‘I’ beam), with tensioners distributed evenly to maintain correct roller alignment. One roller every 600mm ensures an even distribution of the platform weight, meaning less wear on rollers. Also, it is equipped with the largest circumference drive wheels on the market, so there is less pressure on the beams to drive the platform, resulting in less wear and tear.
The use of nylon rollers means there’s no steel on steel, no wear strip is required and there are no bearings. Again, that’s less wear and tear, plus, fitted with an automatic lubrication system, there is no requirement for messy manual oil lubrication. Basically, the iFLOW design relies on simplicity, strength and ergonomics to ensure a long life and trouble-free operation.

Milfos iCONVEYER Milking System
iCONVEYER is a fast and highly efficient lowline rotary milking system.
Milk is transferred gently from the cow to the receiver before being filtered, cooled and stored in the bulk tank. Low operating vacuum levels ensures cow teat end comfort throughout the milking process.
Automation and highly intelligent milking equipment designed and developed specifically for rotaries are key features of the system. With the iCONVEYER you can build your system to meet your automation requirements now and into the future.
CowScout reliably tells you when your cows are ready for insemination. Convenient alert functions ensure that you never miss an activity report. CowScout shows you any periods of high activity for each individual animal and, if you wish, even its live location.
Added value through time savings: Many tasks involved in herd management can be reliably automated.
iCORE takes the management of individual milking components and integrates them into one seamless and easy to use system.
Designed for simplicity, the system is easily fitted, easily commissioned and is made easy to operate due to the innovative product design. With iCR the operator is in full control of the milking point. The LED’s and warning strobe lamps located in the head of the ram indicate the mode of control and if a problem occurred during milking.
The cow restraint drops down behind the cow when the cluster is attached which keeps the cow on the platform if she has not finished milking. This reduces labour requirements at the clusters off area.
Productivity is maximized by standardizing the milking routine and providing cluster support for clean and even milk out. Whether it is mastitis prevention or mastitis detection, the leg locator plays a key role assisting with total udder hygiene.
