One that suits you best.
Design your own form of profitable milk production
The AutoRotor PerFormer offers a great deal of possibilities. Whether you have a family-run farm or are an
investor, whether you have medium-sized or large herds,
the flexible concept of the milk carousel allows you to
determine the fitments and level of automation that
you desire. Minimize the amount of work and personnel
you need, design the milking process according to your
wishes and carry out logical milking two or more times
a day.
With the AutoRotor PerFormer you produce a high standard of milk under high standards of hygiene. And while
you are doing this the cows can enjoy the comfort of
the less cluttered side-by-side milking equipment. In this
way you can securely plan for a profitable milk production in the future.

Customised depending on the farm structure
The flexible concept is based on
experience gathered from major
installations worldwide:
• an individual overall planned concept based on
the size of the herd
• minimized labour and personnel costs through
lower amount of work needed
• relaxed animal traffic and top throughput
performance at the same time
• animal-friendly designed frame with generous
standing areas
• standard / commercial versions for up to 15 or 24
operating hours daily
• closed cabinet for the protection of all the
milking components
• surface-sealed, slip-free concrete platform with
secure footing
• stainless steel cladding on request above or
below the platform
• low maintenance equipment for high running
and long life
The right choice.
Stress-free to top performance.
Relaxed animal traffic for cows quickly and slowly
In the AutoRotor PerFormer every cow gets its turn:
An attractive solution is the optional retention arm.
Should a cow reject the milking cluster, if it becomes
restless or is not fully milked, the retention arm leads the
cow without stopping into the 2nd round. These cows
can now be more easily inspected and can be automatically selected if desired. In this way you make maximum
use of the capacity of the milking carousel and protect
the health of your herd.
The continuous non-stop speed of the carousel reduces
the labour costs by shortening the absolute milking
times by a higher throughput of milked cows per hour.
Additionally in small herds there is no longer a need for
the time-consuming pre-sorting into milking groups.
As an alternative to the retention arm the tried and
tested SpeedControl reduces the speed until the cow
has been fully milked.

Relaxed and continuous
animal traffic
Logical milking with PosiGuide:
the guide arm for quick attachment
with less manoeuvring. Combined
with EasyStart the pulsation starts
automatically on swinging in
Greater comfort and hygiene with PosiForm: the attachment arm raises the milking cluster to an ergonomic
working height. EasyStart starts the pulsation and vacuum
supply during the attachment procedure. After the take-off
PosiForm lowers the milking cluster and guides it cleanly
under the animal traffic.
A reliable procedure from milking to take-off
Design the equipment for a milking routine as you desire
The AutoRotor PerFormer supports you in your daily
milking routine. Select the attachment arm which suits
you: PosiGuide for logical milking, PosiForm for the
noticeable extra milking comfort and hygiene in a
customised attachment area.
The height-adjustable positioning with both its arms
ensures that the milking cluster fits perfectly without
any disturbing lever forces.
PosiGuide: automatic take-off
PosiForm: automatic take-off, automatic lowering

Top, all-round information
The AutoRotor PerFormer together with the DairyManagement-System 21
keeps staff cotinuously informed about what is going on: The DPView software and the milk controller unit displays present detailed data on every
milking cow. Entries can be made directly via a touchscreen monitor on the
milking stall or on the function columns.
DPView for AutoRotor systems will be
available later this year
The optional feed supply system is a
taster for the cows: While they are
taking up the lure or power feed the
cows can be milked completely
relaxed.
