DairyMaster · Entrance, exit and backing gates
Gate Options
DairyMaster gate systems for managing groups, the collecting yard and cow movement before and after milking.
Quick decision
Is this solution right for your farm?
Consider it when
Parlour projects where calm loading, efficient exit and bottleneck prevention determine throughput
We clarify before quoting
Herd size, operating zone and housing method, daily load, dimensions and routes, water, power, cleaning and service.
Another solution may be better when
Animal group, layout, capacity, operating method or site utilities differ.
Best suited for
Parlour projects where calm loading, efficient exit and bottleneck prevention determine throughput
Capabilities and controlled parameters
- Entrance, exit, backing and circular arrangements are available
- Width and movement match group size and cow routes
- Controls are positioned in a safe working area
- Movement must avoid stress and injury risks
- Collecting yard, drafting and return routes are considered together
- Foundation, electrical or pneumatic requirements are checked before installation
Gate Options: gates control total parlour throughput
Entry, backing, exit and drafting must operate as one route. A fast parlour cannot perform when animals queue in the yard or after exit.
Inputs
- group size and collecting-yard area
- route width and turns
- surface, slope and drainage
- calm animal movement speed
Control
- safe operator stations
- electric or pneumatic drive
- manual mode during failure
- emergency stop and safety zones
Maintenance
- hinge, cable and drive checks
- restraint and fixing inspection
- movement-zone cleaning
- sensor and end-position tests
Gate type is confirmed only after cow-flow planning. Increasing mechanism speed cannot compensate for a poor layout.
Components and integration

Implementation considerations
The final parlour configuration depends on milking herd size, milking frequency, group size, shift duration, building layout, collecting yard, operators, water, power and milk cooling. LabLog starts with an engineering brief and never defines throughput from stall count alone.
How LabLog supports the project
- 01Capture herd, group and milking-routine data
- 02Review the building plan, collecting yard and cow routes
- 03Calculate parlour type, stall count and operating cycle
- 04Coordinate milk, vacuum, washing and cooling systems
- 05Configure automation, installation, commissioning, training and service parts
