What do people think is the best way of cooling milk on robots? Seen a second hand 12000l Packo tank which has built in ice builder. Anyone got one? Pros/cons https://fullwoodpacko.com/download/rm-ib-data-sheet/?wpdmdl=3332&masterkey=5b9a6c53f1650

Did you put the ducts in a straight line, do you think you would be able to put a slight bend in it?

Absolutely agree that we (the farmer) are signing the cheques... just other than yourself i havent heard anyone putting it underground. just concerned me that there must be a reason why e.g. dairy regs or something. Your solution looks good

thanks for that, looks like a tidy solution. ever had any issues with it? e.g. issues with bactoscan or rats chewing away at the pipes, or excessive waste milk being washed out, etc? what sort of distance have you installed it for?

There were no recommendations as i dont believe anyone on this thread had monobox.... the problems ones were the MIONE old robot. If you go on the different robot facebook pages respectively there are always farmers no matter the colour which has problems.... just felt confident in the robot...

How did you construct yours? Simply in a pipe? ever had any issues? any advice on what to do / what not to do if constructed underground? thanks in advance

hoping was the wrong word. From what I have seen it HAS ..... and you are very true but a 40K difference in price for two robots between red and green make you sit up and take notice

This thread has completely thrown me now. Was looking at two monobox's and been to 3 farms who have them up and running in this country. It does concern me that the monobox in this country doesn't have any big farms up and running, which are high yielding cattle. we are currently averaging...

Which version of the GEA, MIone or Monobox?

Thanks very much. Absolutely makes sense and I have seen free access at work on a few farms very well...perhaps trying to be too clever and the marginal gains of pre-selection isn't worth the other issues it causes! based in west midlands and trying to use robot and parlour together due to the...

thought provoking... any reasoning would be most welcome

Hello everyone, looking at putting robots in and just wondering if anyone had any feed back from the GEA monobox v's the de laval robot? We are AYR milking Holstein's... looking at utilising 2 robots for the higher yielding cattle. Any one had experience of mixing conventional milking and...
