Waikato Milking System

Supa4 Herringbone System

Fast, efficient, clean milking

Known for its fast, clean milking characteristics the Waikato Milking Systems Supa4 has out performed and out sold all others in its class.The Supa4 has been designed and engineered to meet the needs and expectations of modern milking and the demands of farmers today.  An installation process standardised across the entire Waikato product range guarantees the overall integrity of the system and provides an assurance to you of a quality product.The Supa4 design calls for a single 100mm milk-line draining into a receiver mounted at one end of the pit. A large 100mm milk line ensures cluster vacuum is maintained at an optimum level at all times and totally eliminates milk line flooding. With a modern electronic pulsation system, milking is both fast and uninterrupted. The unique mounting system for a Supa4 accommodates a wide range of accessories including Swing Arms, Swing-down Cluster Washers and much more.

A Hurricane Slug Wash System is the best cleaning system of its type and comes standard on all Supa4’s. Unique features incorporated into the design ensure the 100mm milk line is maintained at the highest hygiene level taking full advantage of a totally enclosed wash system.

A Supa4 milks faster, milks more efficiently and cleans up more effectively than any other. With a well-earned reputation for more than 25 years Supa4 has served the dairy industry well. Waikato Milking Systems Supa4 is a recognised leader and has proven over time to be the mid-line swing-over of choice for most New Zealand and many international customers.

Centrus Composite Rotary Platform

Transforming the milking environment

Centrus Rotary platforms out perform all others.The latest generation of Centrus can now be tailored specifically to your requirements. Its development brings together three decades of knowledge culminating in a modern, composite rotary platform that’s unique, structurally superior and extremely capable in any milking application.Centrus can now be built in almost any size you want, by way of its single bail modular design. This too is a feature unique and specific only to Centrus composite rotary platforms.

The deck sections of the Centrus are formed in a multi-layer laminated process.  The result is a deck which is 75% lighter and far more durable than traditional concrete or steel alternatives.  With proper care, Centrus composite platforms will look like new for their entire life, never pitting or cracking with age or exposure to effluent and harsh chemicals.

Cow comfort is enhanced with the addition of specially formulated and replaceable rubber mats in every bail.  The mats are soft to stand on, they protect the cows’ hooves during milking and promote a quieter milking environment.

Waikato Milking Systems manage each stage of the production and commissioning of each Centrus composite rotary platform – from manufacture through to the first milking – to preserve the integrity of this superb product.

The platforms arrive on site – anywhere in the world – accompanied by a specialist team who oversee the unloading, set-up and commissioning of every Centrus dairy platform.
