Lely Pura steam cleaning system

The Lely Pura steam cleaning system kills 99% of all bacteria in the teat cups without the use of detergents, thus offering maximum security in respect of udder health, food safety and the environment.

Lely MQC-C milk quality control system

To determine the somatic cell count after each milking, samples from the milk are analyzed when the milk is pumped from the milk jar. At the end of the analysis, the information is directly available in your management system.

Lely Titania liquid feed dispenser

The dispenser doses various fluids on top of the concentrates in the feeding trough of the robot. Basically, this metering unit has been developed to avoid the problem of ketosis by adding propylene glycol to the concentrates.

Compact cooler

The inside of the tank contains a twisted tube, made out of one single piece thus eliminating any welded connections. Due to this special construction, there is no risk of contamination of the milk with cooling water.

Lely M4Use milk separation unit

The Lely Astronaut milking robot provides several ways to separate milk. Fixed periods for milk separation can be set by means of the management programme. Milk that does not meet the quality settings can be either dumped or collected in M4Use. You can also separate milk on an individual basis.

Milk buffer tank

With this fully automated system, milking can continue during cleaning of the main tank, optimizing the robot’s capacity.

Twin filter – flexible filter change

The twin filter automatically switches from one filter to the other after each main cleaning. More robots can be managed through one filter, saving you extra filters.

Lely Shuttle sampling device

The Lely Shuttle milk sampling unit is officially ICAR-approved for milk recording. The Shuttle automatically takes a sample of each milking during the period of milk recording.

Thermostatic mixing valve

This system can be used when there is an alternative source of hot water available. An example: using the pre-heated water from the cooling system of the milk tank.

Cow identification system

Lely supplies a range of ISO/RF and Infrared-identification tags, for identification and cow activity measurement. Unique in the dairy market is Lely Qwes-HR which is also measuring ruminating activity, providing farmers a wealth of additional information on cow health.
