Milk up to 100 cows per hour in a herringbone rotary with one person
Comfort, efficiency and throughput are uniquely combined in the AutoRotor Magnum 40. In the internal rotary milking parlor, thanks to the 16-40 rotary parlor milking stalls in herringbone style, you always have a clear view of the cows with short distances and free access to the udder. Take your time to check on individual animals, while cow after cow swiftly enters the platform. Everything takes place peacefully because you can rely on professionally managed milking from full stimulation all the way to cluster removal!
For calm, but speedy processes, all components in the AutoRotor Magnum 40 work together smoothly. The energy-efficient drive ensures smooth startup and quiet operation, while the rotary coupling reliably supplies the milking equipment with vacuum and at the same time gently transports the milk towards the cooling system. At every milking stall, GEA’s optional positioning arm holds the milking cluster ready at an ergonomic height. This way you can always attach early, efficiently and conveniently. At the same time, you also have plenty of time for pre-cleaning and post-dipping!
Design loading just as you wish: with EasyEntry every cow coming from the waiting area moves smoothly to the next free milking stall. With SingleFlow, cow after cow enters the platform quickly through a central gate. Ergonomic, rounded stall dividers direct the cow to the animal-friendly milking stall. Together with the front gate, they ensure a precise indexing procedure. Set up at an angle of 40°, the cow stands securely and comfortably in the ideal attaching position. Feeding with concentrate can take place during milking via optional feeding troughs.
Depending on the equipment, GEA’s milking control units take over milking management for you including full stimulation. While the network compares current milking results via the herd management system, you see the relevant processes for milking at a glance on the touchscreen or IPC. Make sure you get automated support for the udder-friendly and effective milking process.
The carousel milking system’s design has been thought through down to the last detail and can be expanded as needed. Increase work efficiency with an automatic crowd gate in the waiting area, simplify cow management with selection equipment. The robust concrete platform and heavy-duty steel surfaces make cleaning easy. While water and dirt flow quickly off the sloped deck, technology and hoses are protected under the platform. Minimal effort for a hygienic working environment with everything ready for the next milking!
This first‑of‑its‑kind product incorporates patented technology to automatically apply post‑dip, through the head of the liner at the end of milking, and automatically backflush after detach – facilitating a superior milk harvesting process every time the cow enters the parlor.

Companies like GEA process and store large amounts of sensitive data. However, security incidents, from ransomware attacks to physical intrusions and industrial espionage, are ever-expanding. GEA’s effective protection of its business partners’ data – as well as its own proprietary information – is evolving into a competitive advantage. We spoke with Iskro Mollov, GEA’s Chief Information Security Officer, about what it takes to protect a global business in a volatile world.
Resource-efficient fashion has been a long-sought ambition amid the fashion industry’s considerable contributions to global carbon emissions. The need to close the loop by recycling textile fibers into virgin-like materials is higher than ever but seemed like a distant dream until now: Circ, GEA’s American customer and pioneer in the field of textile recycling, might be rewriting the future of the fashion industry.
Alternative proteins are promising – yet still expensive to produce. The usual response is that scaling up will solve this issue. But what if the solution was really about getting better, not just bigger? From more efficient, high-yield processes to upcycling waste heat, engineers are reshaping how we grow food.
