With its sectional construction, the SR External rotary is quick and easy to install, plus its robust galvanised structure is long-lasting and comfortable for animals.
This streamlined rotary helps increase throughput with stress-free animal handling, excellent flow on and off the platform and easy monitoring. The SR External is highly efficient at ensuring your milking routine is optimised and efficient.
Various add-on options mean the SR External can be customised to ensure you achieve your farming goals - now and into the future.
The goats enter the rotary through the guided entry box with a pneumatic door, ensuring constant animal flow and that each stall is filled.
Each stall contains a stainless steel feed bin, which is automatically filled upon crossing into the bridge area. When the goat enters the stall and lowers its head to access the feed, the headlock system is activated, locking and holding the goat gently in place for the duration of milking.
Once milking is complete, the headlock opens automatically before the exit. However, if the goat requires further milking or treatment, the operator can simply push a button on the control panel and the headlock will remain closed.
