Flexibility www.labtex.co.uk YORKSHIRE GOAT DAIRY PROJECT The growth in health and environmental awareness has created a huge expansion in smaller, more sustainable methods of food production and farming. The evolution in farming methods led to an interesting project win for Derbyshire based swivel joint specialist, Rotaflow FV Ltd. The floor rotates around the static central unit whilst the milking is in progress. Yorkshire Dairy Goats needed a swivel joint to replace a unit on a rotating milking machine. This kind of milking machine is common in the bovine dairy industry, but innovative in goat farming. Rotaflow worked closely with the client to ensure the replacement design would be installed easily into their system. Project lead time was very important. The completed design was made out of 316 SS and Yorkshire Dairy Goats is delighted with the result. So much so they have installed a second Rotaflow swivel in another machine. The Rotaflow design is in the centre of the milking parlour. Goats are brought on to a rotating floor containing numerous milking stations, then are linked to a spare station when one is free. 94 PECM Issue 36 Their previous existing unit (not supplied by Rotaflow) required constant maintenance, they needed a better quality, more durable design.  www.rotaflow.com Articulated Torsion Pipework In Hoses Rotating Cylinders Swivel Joints Swivel joints allow pipework to pressure 1/4” to 40” and beyond.
