Tailor made to suit you best

Every farm is different, and every farmer has other needs, that’s why we deliver our Lely Astronaut A4 prepared for your farm. Today there are two models Astronaut A4 with additional options to configure the Astronaut A4 designed on your needs.

New modular set up of the robotic milking system

The central unit is an essential part of the new modular set up of the Lely Astronaut A4 robotic milking system. It features a central vacuum and cleaning system for up to two cow units. The central unit is self-contained and a configuration with two cow units can span a distance up to thirty metres. The cow units are available in a left or right handed version and you are offered a choice of two models, both offering the choice of additional options.

Operator model

The Operator model features a galvanized cow unit and E-link. The E-link operator consists of a high quality 10 inch colour touch screen that contains the key functions to run the robot properly.

Manager model

The Manager model is made of stainless steel and features an upgraded E-link control. The 12 inch E-link Manager colour touch screen control unit on the Astronaut A4 is capable of running T4C effortlessly. It allows for real management on the spot. This provides you with the same user interface and functionality as T4C on your PC and can be very useful for quick data entry as close as possible to the cow, thereby minimizing any chance of errors or omissions.

Overview

Accessories for the Lely Astronaut A4

The Lely Astronaut robotic milking system is designed with dedicated focus on optimum wellbeing for you and your animals. With a view to optimizing the situation of both the dairy farmer and his cows, we have complemented our milking robot with a range of exceptionally useful accessories.

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.
