PureLACTOR

The artificial weaning becomes an ally to the production with notable benefits

Better and more effective management of the young animals as they are all gathered at the brooder house and not scattered all round the farm with their mothers. As a result, the mortality rate is reduced and the growth rate is increased.
Improvement of the health and performance of the mothers due to the elimination of mastitis cases and more general injuries of the nipples caused by their young animals and also the avoidance of disease spreading through the contact of a contaminated young animals with many mothers.
Direct increase of the farm’s profitability caused by the rise of the quantity of the given milk per mother since it’s not consumed for the upbringing of the young animals. The profitability arises from the fact that the substitute milk of the man-made lactation is about 60% cheaper than fresh milk of the mother when it comes to sheep and about 50% when it comes to goats, while it has the same efficiency in the growth of the young animals.

The right weaning is not about luck

To ensure the success of the implementation of man-made lactation in a farm, the following are required…

Right infrastructure and living conditions at the weaning space (brooder house).
Usage of high-quality milk powder (substitute).
Artificial breast-feeding machine with excellent operation and effectiveness specifications.

EMMA FARM SOLUTIONS has now been established in the Greek market as the biggest company that constructs weaning machinery, with more than 250 machines in 200 facilities in Greece, while we have already started installations in the rest of the world (New Zealand, Cyprus, Bulgaria and Japan), with total success.

Leveraging our experience in the weaning sector from 2014 to the present has enabled us to design the new PureLACTOR.

Everything a weaning machine must provide and even more

The PureLACTOR, with its innovative design and specialised function that are based on the needs of the young animals, satisfies all the operational requirements, as well as the ones that are related to its performance as a weaning machine.

Absolute hygiene of the weaning system

This is accomplished due to the automated washing function of both the container that prepares the milk and the distribution pipes that lead to the teats, while using specific disinfectants for CIP systems.

The feeding stations are constructed with polypropylene panels which have specially designed ABS teat bases, so that they can be cleaned and disinfected easily and quickly by the farmer.

Protection of the young animals

By using special flow-exclusive valves in the teats during the making of each mixture but also while the automated cleaning takes place, the excellent homogenisation of the milk that’s available to the young animals as well as the prevention of them consuming the cleaning solution are both ensured.

The new teat bases allow the young animals to feed comfortably, decreasing the competitiveness related to teats on a significant level, since they ensure access to only one animal per teat. Furthermore, they force the young animals to keep their distance from the support panel, decreasing the casualties due to asphyxiation that happens because of overcrowding.

Available milk at the right temperature

The milk that gets produced is kept at the right temperature and is always available through the heated production container and the automated recycling-reheating routine that happens regularly.

Controlled quality of the milk production

With the new and innovative real-time water and powder measuring system that operates during the making of the mixture, a consistent milk composition is achieved no matter the conditions of each portion. Problems that arise due to differences in the water inflow or the special weight and the composition of the powder while the machine is operating, are automatically solved without a need for interference by the stock-farmer.

Consistent performance for every forcefulness

With everything that’s been mentioned above, the same performance is guaranteed and not dependant on the number of the young animals that are being served by the machine. There’s potential for 12 to 24 teats for up to 500 animals and, due to its Ad-Libitum operation, the machine guarantees high growth rates for all the young animals. Additionally, the excellent materials that are used in its construction allow for its constant and unquestioning operation to take place in the difficult and demanding farm environment.

Convenient installation, use and maintenance

The modular design of the feeding stations and the milk-distribution network allows for an easy and fast installation at any space, with minimum requirements and modifications in the pre-existing infrastructure. The PureLACTOR comes with a simple operation menu and zero complicated navigation and option screens. All of the critical operation parameters can be easily adjusted directly from the keyboard, using the special shortcut buttons. The operation control and the machine’s maintenance are both very easy, since all the coverings are detachable, allowing easy access to the interior, while there’s also the ability to control every component’s operation separately from the menu.

The PureLACTOR weaning machine has been chosen by small and traditional, but also bigger and more modern Greek farms. Farms with 100, up to 4000 young animals per year, in both milk-producing and fattening units.

For us, the quality and reliability in the weaning machine’s function is the same, whether we’re working with a small, traditional, milk-producing unit with about 100 animals, or the biggest fattening unit with 4000.

At EMMA Farm Solutions, we recognize the uniqueness of every unit, which is why we develop reliable, specialized solutions for stock-farming machinery.
