Fullwood launches an all-electric arm for its latest robotic milker

摘要

Dairy machinery specialist Fullwood has launched a new robotic milker, which it hopes will boost sales on the world market.The biggest changes have happened at the business end of the Merlin2 - the all-electric arm, which is slimmer than before and cheaper to run.The switch from compressed air to electric drive has reduced power consumption by E424/machine a year, according to Fullwood, and also makes operation near-silent. The only running noise comes from the pulsator, so the surrounding area stays pretty tranquil.
