DeLaval Evanza™ milking cluster Wins Silver Medal Innovation Award at EuroTier

 The DeLaval Evanza milking cluster is the first cluster in the world to utilise a cartridge instead of a liner. It contains a newly designed claw with redesigned TopFlow™ technology and an easy, quick-connection between claw and teat-cup.

The new DeLaval Evanza milking cluster and Evanza cartridge will bring significant benefits to farmers and cows in terms of improvements in performance, animal welfare, service, ergonomics and reliability.

Farms where the new Evanza milking cluster and cartridge were tested, see an increase in milk flow of up to 9.3%. The attachment is as well better, with reduced milking time of up to 30 minutes per milking session, a reduction of 7% in time as a result. In addition, teat condition scoring has improved together with a 50% reduced service time. The cartridge change itself is done 3 times faster than a conventional liner change, saving considerable time and resources. All data is collected from test and pilot farms, and thus results may vary.

“Innovation is in our blood and is central to the continuous support to our customers. The new Evanza, a revolutionary combination of a milking cluster and cartridge liners, becomes a strong statement from DeLaval in the relentless path to support farmers around the globe to become more efficient, profitable and deliver the food safety and animal welfare required in the dairy industry”, says Paul Löfgren, EVP Cluster Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

EuroTier 2018 visitors are invited to see the Evanza milking cluster and cartridge together with many more innovative solutions at the DeLaval booth, Hall 13, stand D25.
