Which Milking System is Right for Your Dairy?
Select your current or projected herd size to see our engineering recommendation based on throughput and labor optimization.
50 - 500 Cows
Focus on maximum individual cow care, udder visibility, and fitting into narrow existing barns.
500 - 1,000 Cows
Focus on maximum throughput per hour, rapid exit speed, and reducing milker walking distance.
1,000+ Cows
Focus on 24/7 continuous non-stop workflow, extreme automation, and maximum labor efficiency.

Engineered Around Your Cows
Every NexAgri system is built with heavy-duty Q235B hot-dip galvanized steel to withstand decades of harsh farm environments.
Heavy-Duty Herringbone Systems
Optimal Visibility & Care
Designed for farms that prioritize individual cow attention. The 30° or 50° zig-zag positioning gives milkers unobstructed access to the udder from the side, making inspection and attachment highly ergonomic.
Rapid-Exit Parallel Systems
30% Faster Throughput & Safety
Engineered for high-efficiency commercial herds. Cows stand at a 90° angle, utilizing the shortest distance between udders. The heavy-duty pneumatic front frame releases the entire side instantly, drastically cutting changeover time.
Continuous Flow Rotary Platforms
24/7 Unstoppable Factory Line
The ultimate solution for mega-dairies. Operators stay in one place while cows calmly step onto a slowly moving platform. A fully sealed base design featuring high-strength fiber concrete decks ensures vibration-free rotation.
Powered by Global Industry Leaders
We integrate only top-tier components, ensuring your investment delivers unmatched lifespan, extreme mastitis prevention, and the highest milk quality.
ABB VFD Vacuum Stability
High-capacity oil-free pumps paired with ABB Variable Frequency Drives. Spanish stabilizing valves recover 2KPa leaks within 2 seconds, eliminating slip-offs.
ICAR Digital Metering
Afi-MPC electronic meters (error rate <1.5%). Built-in electrical conductivity sensors detect subclinical mastitis days before visible symptoms appear.
Biomimetic Pulsation
Imported Italian LE30 waterproof pulsators automatically adjust pulsation ratios based on real-time milk flow, perfectly preventing over-milking.
Auto-CIP Sanitation
One-click automation. Pneumatic butterfly valves manage acid/alkali ratios. Surfing wave devices inject air into pipelines to sweep dead corners.
Proven Results on Real Farms

Double-30 Rapid Exit Parallel
Fully integrated with smart auto-sort gates and real-time milk conductivity sensors for proactive mastitis management.
Double-12 Heavy Herringbone
The heavy-duty infrastructure and enclosed vacuum systems easily handle extreme winters while maintaining perfect sanitation temperatures.
Double-20 Glass Jar System
A classic mechanical design. Completely immune to local power grid fluctuations, providing rural ranches with unbreakable reliability.
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) & Planning Guide
A milking parlor is a 20-year investment. Consider these critical factors before finalizing your civil engineering design.
1. Space & Civil Engineering Requirements
The dimensions of your existing or planned barn dictate the system you can install. For instance, a Double-12 Herringbone (30°) requires approximately 17 meters (55 ft) of pit length and 6.5 meters (21 ft) of building width. By contrast, a Parallel Parlor requires a wider footprint but significantly less length, as cows stand at a 90-degree angle (71cm spacing per cow).
Our engineers always allocate auxiliary space for the Holding Pen (1.5 to 2.0 sq. meters per cow) and a dedicated, isolated Equipment Room to protect the vacuum pump and milk cooling tanks from moisture and manure.
2. Maintenance & Lifecycle Cost (OpEx)
Initial capital expenditure (CapEx) is only part of the equation. Herringbone systems boast the lowest operational expenditure (OpEx) due to fewer moving parts. Rotary parlors, while having a higher CapEx, offer the best ROI for herds over 1,000 due to massive labor savings.
NexAgri reduces your TCO by utilizing hot-dip galvanized Q235B steel (over 85μm coating thickness) compliant with ISO 1461, ensuring decades of rust-free operation. Furthermore, we include a 2-Year Critical Spares Kit (liners, seals, gaskets) with every turnkey project.
3. Animal Welfare & Milk Yield Impacts
Cow comfort directly correlates with oxytocin release and milk let-down. Stress-free entry, comfortable pneumatic indexing (in Parallel systems), and slip-free concrete or rubber decks (in Rotary systems) prevent injuries. Combined with our biomimetic Italian pulsators that prevent teat-end hyperkeratosis (over-milking), our parlors are designed to lower your Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and increase overall yield.
4. Integrating Smart Dairy Management
A modern parlor is a data hub. By upgrading to ICAR-certified electronic meters and connecting to a PC Server (e.g., AfiFarm), you can seamlessly integrate NexAgri-Guard Smart Collars or NexAgri-Sense Ear Tags.
This ecosystem allows for automatic drafting (sorting) of cows based on real-time milk conductivity alerts, heat detection (estrus), or rumination drops, allowing a single herd manager to accurately monitor thousands of cows.
