DeLaval herringbone parlour HB50
DeLaval HB50 offers even better cow positioning, operator comfort and durability. Optimal cow positioning, closer to the milker, makes it safer and more comfortable to milk, while increased size of key components has added to the overall strength and life of the parlour. DeLaval HB50 can fit many existing layouts, making installation simple and economical.
The conventional exit from DeLaval HB50 doesn’t need a wide building in order to fit so it is ideal for renovating your existing HB30 or tandem building. It allows you to fit more stalls to milk your herd faster without having to completely rebuild. Conventional exit also allows you to install feed mangers for in-parlour feeding.

Key benefits
PerfectProcess
We have stall sizes to suit Jersey and cross breed cows. With improved nutrition and breeding the average size of cows continues to increase. A new parlour stall needs to cater for cow size increases over 15 to 20 years. DeLaval HB50 stall has 800mm and 760mm cow center spacing to give bigger cows high comfort, while still offering a comfortable two meter wide pit.
PerfectMix
DeLaval HB50 is already renowned for its durability but now it is even stronger because the stall’s rump rail and frame components are made from heavy duty steel tubing. An optional suspended beam frame adds further strength and longevity. This stronger beam frame gives added rigidity for bigger parlours, and is optional for smaller ones.
PerfectComfort
Operator safety is prioritized in DeLaval HB50. With no posts between the cows, there’s no risk of the milker’s arm being kicked against a post. With the cow close to the pit and the kick rail closer to the cow, the udder is easy to reach. This speeds up cluster attachment while reducing the risk of back strain, and there is less chance of the cow kicking back. A heavy, galvanized steel pit edge with a blue plastic edging is now standard in DeLaval HB50. This creates a warm, soft surface for the operator to lean against or to move along.
