DeLaval Cascade parallel parlour

Posted on 31 August 2010

Cascade™ parallel parlours are made from corrosion-resistant, hot dipped galvanized steel and stainless steel for economical, heavy duty operation. All bends and edges are rounded for maximum safety and welded. The Cascade™ is an all galvanized stall built on 27” stall centres. Neck-rails are constructed in three and four-cow gangs from two-inch black material, then hot dipped galvanized for corrosion protection. The butt pan with elevated gutter is made from 10-gauge stainless steel and is suspended with arches to provide a post-free work area for the operator. Horizontal cross support pipe are used at every arch. Four-inch galvanized columns are used to support the arches and neck-rails. Entrance gates are hinged from the cow platform side to allow all cows easy access to the stalls. Sequencing gates are a four-pipe construction, made from hot dipped galvanized material and floor mounted. An external stainless steel spring is used to close each sequencing gate and keep it closed as cows load the parlour. The parlour package includes All Index, All-EXIT and air power for the entrance gate.
