Specifically designed for goat and sheep milking

SR Internal – Small Ruminant Internal Rotary Parlour

Designed especially for sheep and goats, the SR Internal offers a continuous milking process ensuring the highest milking performance.

SHEEP AND GOAT ROTARY MILKING PARLOUR

Automated feeding system that provides up to four rations with three feed types

Helping you achieve fast throughput by ensuring orderly traffic flow, animal and operator comfort while using highly efficient milking equipment that optimizes milking processes to ensure milking is fast and effective. Tailor the AR Internal with a range of highly efficient milking equipment options, providing you with the flexibility to build the best solution to meet your requirements.

Unlike traditional rotary parlours, the AR Internal has no fixed stall divider to hold the animal in place; this allows the animals to relax and take comfort in having contact with others. 

The animals enter the parlour through a guided chute and are steered into the individual feed bins, which are filled automatically. The animal places its head in the feed bin, which activates a headlock, holding the animal in place for the duration of the milking. 

Once milking is complete, the headlock opens automatically before the exit.
