Swing-Over Parlour

The most popular option on the Irish market is the swing-over parlour as they cater for high performance while being labour efficient. Swing-over parlours are cost effective compared to double/parallel parlours as there is half the amount of units. BGM swing-over parlours are designed for high throughput and cow and operator comfort.

The Stainless Steel Swing Arms centrally align the cluster on the udder which results in consistent, even milk-out of the cows. The Flo-Star Max cluster is also specifically designed to sit square on the cows udder; the front two quarters of the cluster are wider and the back two quarters of the cluster are narrower to suit the natural positioning of the cow’s teats.

The ultra-light Flo-Star Max cluster results in cows being quiet when being milked as there is no discomfort for them.

The light clusters and 2×2 pulsation results in the cow be milked gently, quickly and completely.

When investing in a BouMatic Gascoigne swing-over parlour you are investing in a parlour that will last well into the future.

The stallwork is constructed from galvanised blue band steel and supported by RSJ’s for extra strength.

BGM milking equipment is tested and manufactured to the highest of standards and designed to ensure long life with minimal servicing.

A main focus of BGM is to ensure the products are easy to service and have as few moving parts as possible to ensure minimal down time.

BGM parlours are designed to make milking easy for the operator. The Flo-Star Max clusters are ultra-light which greatly reduces operator fatigue or shoulder pain.

The fold-up/foldaway low-line wash eliminates the need to bend down when putting the clusters into wash position. It neatly folds away underneath the kerbing for milking time. The swingarm allows you to have the milking cluster at the ergonomic height you need.

Every unit has auto-start where all the operator has to do is lift the cluster to turn on the unit. There are many other automation options that can be added to make the milking process more efficient.

Automation on the parlour can greatly improve efficiency and time spent in the parlour.

When equipped with SmartDairy, the parlour will take the work out of milking.
