DeLaval Introduces its New Robotic Milking System, the DeLaval VMS™ V300
Redesigned voluntary milking system creates new experience for cows and farmers
MADISON, WI (June 28, 2018) – DeLaval recently unveiled the all-new Voluntary Milking System VMS™ V300 to producers and industry representatives at their robotic milking conference, VMS PRO North America, in Madison, WI. The VMS V300 helps farmers by making them less reliant on future labor market uncertainties and keeping them at the forefront of animal welfare and food safety. This redesigned milking system contributes to the profitability of dairy farming not only today but also for generations to come.
“As a market leader, we have both an obligation and an opportunity to contribute to better milking practices in all parts of the world, directly aiming at helping farmers with their daily challenges,” says Joakim Rosengren, DeLaval President and CEO. “The design of the new VMS V300 system has farmers and their challenges at its core, allowing farmers to do more with less. We are indeed very satisfied with the fantastic result achieved.”
With a 10 percent higher capacity, up to 50 percent faster attachment time, up to 99.8 percent attachment rate, up to 99 percent teat spray hit rate, real quarter milking, lower running cost than earlier systems and with a potential of up to 7,500 pounds of milk per day, the DeLaval VMS V300 is setting an all new industry performance standard*.
The VMS V300 system comes with DeLaval InControl™, the new user interface allowing access to information and control of the system remotely. DeLaval PureFlow™, the new, transparent teat preparation cup, is another new feature. Lastly, DeLaval InSight™, the latest in vision technology ensures a smooth, fast and accurate attachment.
"You can have a normal family life, and you can have normal working hours. Your employees can have normal working hours as well. It will be easy to be a farmer in the future,” says Søren Højgaard Andersen, DeLaval VMS V300 farm owner, Denmark.
