12-Stall Clay Trigon Milking Parlor
■- ; ?
Here's How Clay Trigon Milking Parlor Works
Trigon arrangement calls for three rows of four can make this operation smooth and easy. Operator is in
herringbone milking stalls designed around a triangle 30" deep milking area (6) and he milks cows by moving
Cows are brought into parlor from holding area (1) Clay in a circular pattern around parlor Udder stimulators (7)
crowd gate can make this operation more efficient Cows can be used to prepare cows The operator attaches the
enter parlor at either three entrances (2), (3), and (4) At milker unit When cow has been milked the mil Ker unit
(2) and (3) they go directly into herringbone At (4) cows can be removed by automated take-off units, or
go behind row of stalls (3) and enter through gates to manually The cows leave the parlor in the return lane
milking area (5) Automated air operated power gates (8) Power operated cutting gates (9) can be used to
divert cows that need treatment into a catch pen (10)
Ideal for Fast , Efficient One-Man Milking
Historically, one man has worked most efficiently in a
Double-4 Herringbone milking parlor Double-6’s have
been developed and an outstanding operator can
operate it on a one-man basis over a short period of
time Now the fully automated Trigon makes it possible
for one-man to operate the milking capacity equivalent
of a Double-8, with fewer steps and more cow control
