That’s why many farmers rely on scheduled servicing to stay ahead of wear, protect equipment and avoid the stress and cost of sudden breakdowns.
A planned service schedule keeps your milking system operating within its best performance range.
Regular checks on vacuum levels, pulsation, liners, shells, rubberware, and the cooling system help maintain consistent milk-out and teat condition throughout the season.
When issues are caught early, they’re faster and cheaper to fix—and far less disruptive during busy periods.
Alongside servicing, the components fitted to your system play a major role in everyday performance.
Regular checks on vacuum levels, pulsation, liners, shells, rubberware are essential.
Many farmers choose replacement parts that are known for manufacturing consistency, reliability, and compatibility with existing equipment.
In the milking cluster, for example, liners and shells designed to global standards help ensure stable attachment, predictable milk flow, and long service life.
GEA’s global liner and global shell are popular in international dairy markets for their range of sizes (small, medium, large), shapes (round, conical, GQ), and lightweight or heavy ergonomic shells.
Made from durable organic rubber or silicone, these products offer consistent quality, stable vacuum performance, gentle teat-end treatment and strong construction suited to tough dairy conditions.
Their balanced design helps maintain cluster alignment and reduce slip, while compatibility with common systems ensures easy replacement.
These characteristics support smooth milking routines and help farmers avoid unnecessary interruptions—all while protecting udder health and equipment longevity.
The most important step farmers can take is keeping ahead of peak season.
Booking your local dealer early ensures your system receives a full check before the rush, reducing the risk of delays, long wait times, or unexpected downtime when the herd is ready to calve or production increases.
A scheduled service isn’t just maintenance—it’s peace of mind.
With proactive servicing and reliable, well-engineered components, farmers can focus on what matters most: healthy cows, quality milk, and a shed that runs the way it should—every day, every season.
