DeLaval parallel parlour P2100
More comfort in
your milking parlour
Being a dairy farmer is a tough
and interesting job. You have to
make the right decisions every
day to protect your business
and take it to the next level.
So when you decide what you
need now in your dairy parlour,
DeLaval can deliver your
complete integrated solution.
Compact parlours for efficiency
Designed for efficiency in milking, in
walking, in indexing, DeLaval parallel
parlours are very profitable milking
systems. They enable high throughput with fast milking processes and
quick changes from one group to the
next: making DeLaval parallel parlours
the first choice for your expanding
enterprise or family farm.
Short walking distances for cows
and milking personnel are one of the
greatest advantages of every DeLaval
parallel parlour. The compact design
also helps to keep building costs
under control.
DeLaval parallel parlours are
equipped with air controlled indexing
systems. This means that cows are
pushed gently towards the milker pit
after the cows have entered their
milking point. When a group has been
milked the cows are released via air
controlled front exits.
For DeLaval parallel parlour P2100
we have developed further features
to make your life easier: confirming
DeLaval parallel parlour P2100 as
your obvious choice.

DeLaval design flow
The very functional smooth design flow
in DeLaval parallel parlour P2100 is
designed for professional milking, in a
modern working environment, with
comfortable cows. The smooth design
provides smooth surfaces that flow
– from upper cabinets via conduits to
curb cabinets, from light cabinets to pit
edges. It enables speedy cleaning with
vital working parts safely concealed
underneath the gleaming cabinets –
saving time and labour – and costs.
DeLaval parallel parlour P2100
DeLaval P2100 – always high cow comfort
Real milker comfort
Milker comfort is provided by features
that deliver a safe parlour. With a
gutter as kick protection and sensible
pit edge design, cows cannot step
into the pit. The skilfully positioned
butt pan helps keep the environment
clean. And the milker!
All the options are designed with
milkers in mind: to support them in
their tasks. Hose supports and LED
udder spot lights enhance accurate
positioning of the milking cluster;
milk and pulse tubes can come from
underneath the pit edge, the cluster
cleaner is at the correct height, the light
cabinet keeps sight lines clearly lit.
And for the ultimate experience, the
mobile DeLaval adjustable floor which
can be adjusted up or down to suit
the height of the milker provides for
ergonomic comfort for milkers
short or tall.
Easy reach for milker comfort
Real cow comfort
We care for your cows, so DeLaval
P2100 is designed for cows. Check
these features which all contribute to
cow comfort and fast milking:
• Easy entry through the sliding
entrance gate, with a wide walking
lane to the milking place.
• It is easy for cows to enter the milk
place, with the wide, large turning
area, and front exit segment open
below.
• Cows have a natural and comfortable position during milking since
there are no horizontal bars.
• Cows can leave the parlour after
milking without having to lift their
head above horizontal bars or other
frames.

Robust and streamlined stall design
The durable, attractive, robust
framework is designed for a long
lifetime, and the air controlled parlour
system is reliable and easy to service.
Bolted construction ensures the
stall is secure, and extra thick metal
plates are used for rump rails and pit
edge. The butt pan and gutter come
as standard in stainless steel, while
other standard components like the
pit edge have stainless steel as an
option. Various optional components
like upper, curb and light cabinets are
also provided in stainless steel.
DeLaval parallel parlour P2100
Sliding entrance gate and wide entrance lane
Plenty of space to turn at the sequence gate
P2100 – Real
cow comfort
Sliding entrance gate
Cows have easy access into the
parlour, as the sliding gate means no
cow has to step back when the gate
is opened. This low maintenance gate
requires very little space and pushes
the last cow gently into position when
it closes.
Wide entrance lane
Cows feel comfortable right from
the start, as the wide entrance lane
has the space they need to enter
the parlour. How is this possible?
Even in this compact parlour the well
designed DeLaval P2100 front exit
creates generous space from the
rump rail to the sequence gates.
Protective butt pan
The straight wide gutter, always with
the tail guard, works well: cows stand
close to the milker but the butt pan
provides for safe and clean milking.
The position and design of the gutter
also works as kick protection. The
way the butt pan and pit edge are
positioned makes it impossible for
cows to kick at milking personnel or
step into the pit.
Air controlled parlour
This proven, reliable and cow friendly
system moves and positions cows
appropriately, with no excessive
pressure on sensitive parts of the
cow. It leaves cows enough space
when they enter the parlour, as
the front exit is then in the forward
position. Indexing pushes the cows
gently into the milking position, where
it is easy for the milking personnel
to reach them. The cows are always
positioned close to the milker,
for best comfort.
The different air pressure
levels required can each be set
independently: medium pressure for
the entrance gate, for movement that
is fast enough but will not squeeze
the cows; low pressure for indexing,
keeping it soft and slow, and higher
pressure for quick release through the
front exit.

Easy to enter milking place
Each cow enters the milking place in
a natural position, head high or low,
however she chooses. She perceives
no barriers, and does not have to lift
her head above a horizontal bar or
into a frame. This easy loading means
fast loading - and higher throughput.
Adjustable neck rail
So cows will fit comfortably in their
milking place, the neck rail position is
adjustable. This regulates the distance
between the rail and the pit edge:
adapting the space to the average
length of the cows in your herd.
Natural and comfortable position
during milking
Each cow can move their head up and
down with no restrictions. You can
often see cows ruminating while being
milked in DeLaval parallel parlour
P2100. In this natural position they are
very relaxed, not stressed.

Fast release of the entire batch
Fast release of batch
The natural position continues
through the exit, as there is no need
for any cow to lift their head above
a barrier while exiting. This easy
exit, leaving the parlour in a natural
position, makes for fast exiting and
again facilitates high throughput.

Comfort Start for fast cluster attachment
Foldable cluster cleaner at the correct height
Streamlined upper cabinets
Automation options such as DeLaval
milking point MPC510 or MPC610 are
integrated into these gleaming stainless
steel cabinets. Individual combinations
of MPC510 and 610 are possible.
The milking points have standard
vacuum take offs, with air controlled
take offs available for longer milking
hours. Other options which may
be integrated in the upper cabinet
include balanced and sliding hose
support.
Udder spotlight
Shining light directly on the working
area, LED spotlights make clear
where the action is. Placed between
butt pan and upper cabinet the lights
are slightly tilted to shine onto the
udder area.
These spotlights can be added
later, in any parlour with a DeLaval
P2100 upper cabinet. Naturally the
lights are designed to cope with the
moisture and ammonia found in the
tough parlour environment.
Safe milking
Indexing automatically positions cows
directly at the butt pan and close
to the milker, but fear not. Milking
through the rear legs is always safe,
as nervous cows cannot reach the
milker. Cows cannot kick the milker or
step into the pit – the way the butt pan
and pit edge are positioned relative to
each other makes it impossible.
Light cabinets
Indirect lighting at the work face is
integrated in this design flow. The
compact stainless steel cabinets hold
standard fluorescent light fittings,
shining light from one side of the
parlour to the other to brighten up
milking sessions.
Curb cabinet
This stainless steel cabinet provides
a protected environment for
equipment positioned below the
cows. It can have doors for sensors,
milk meters and cluster cleaners. It
holds the cluster cleaner at the
correct height for the milker.
Flexibility in installation means
that the curb cabinet can always be
added to the stainless steel P2100
pit edge. It will not have doors for
milk meters in a parlour which has
a basement installation. Milk hoses
and pulse tubes will come from
underneath the pit edge for most
automation combinations.

Milking starts swiftly
Speed up cluster attachment with
time saving convenient DeLaval
ComfortStart. The milker just has
to lift the cluster and attach it: no
button pushing is needed. DeLaval
ComfortStart provides a smart
combination of fast start, comfortable
and easy attachment of cluster, and
smooth retraction after the cow has
finished milking. It can be used with
any type of vacuum controlled take off.
DeLaval parallel parlour P2100
The right solutions in the right place
– for highly satisfactory milking routines
Excellent view – great access to your cows
Cluster alignment
Two cluster alignment choices are
offered, counter balance or sliding
hose supports. Counter balance hose
supports are not in the way of the
milker, and the milk hoses are always
in same position which supports
correct cluster positioning. A further
advantage is that the tubes are not
lying on the floor, so the hoses are
always clean. Sliding hose supports
can be fitted underneath the butt
pan. They can slide along easily
from one cow to another. Individual
adjustment is possible and the tube
holders can be folded away with
one hand. The hose supports are
designed for use with any DeLaval
milking clusters.
Free view
When milk and pulse tubes come
from below the pit edge the milker
has very clear sight lines and a good
overview of the work place. Pulse
tubes are no longer in the way of the
milker. Nothing disturbs the milker
while he/she prepares the cows for
milking.

vertical aluminium cabinet which
protects the integrated components
in a constant clean environment. It
includes flow controlled stimulation
and it provides individually controlled
pulsation at each place as there is no
central master unit. This unit can be
opened without tools, providing easy
access for service. DeLaval MP400
can be combined with DeLaval milk
flow sensor FI2, or DeLaval milk yield
indicator FI5 or ICAR approved
DeLaval milk meter MM25.
ALPRO milking units – with full
cabinet integration
The horizontal stainless steel cabinets
with attractive rounded flow design
provide perfect protection for all
the integrated components in a
constant clean environment. As a
special option, it is possible to choose
between vacuum or air controlled take
off cylinders for extra long milking
hours. Service access is easy, with
fingertip touch on a smart latch all that
is needed to open and close
the cabinets.

Milk yield indicators
DeLaval milk yield indicator FI5 provides a digital display of milk yield. It
gives a good constant indication of
milk yield and actual milk flow with
an alternating display which switches
from one value to the other. It has no
moving parts. It can be installed in a
curb cabinet with cut out for display.
ICAR approved milk meter
DeLaval milk meter MM15 and MM25
offer you a choice. DeLaval MM15
measures the exact milk weight in a
real weighing cup. It is easy to calibrate, and well accepted by officials
and milk recording associations.

Deck flush
Deck flush nozzles squirt jets of water
to clean the cow platform. One nozzle
per cow stall is designed to be integrated in the vertical part of the pit
edge. Cows cannot step on the
nozzles which are not visible from
the pit. Deck flush is a good example
of component integration, and provides very effective support for the
milking process.
Adjustable floor
For ultimate milker comfort. The nonslippery surface of DeLaval adjustable
floor is always clean and because
it is flexible it is much less tiring for
milkers during long milking hours.
Feet, legs, and backs benefit from
this flexible floor surface, and it is
even more appreciated in the version
that is adjustable for different milker
heights. Of course a fixed floor can be
installed if an adjustable floor is
not needed.
Save installation time and costs
DeLaval P2100 is designed for simple
speedy installation. The bolted
construction means the components
are easy to ship, easy to handle on
site, and fast and easy to install. This
all reduces installation time and costs.
There are only a few parts, such as
the butt pan, which require welding.
This sensible design also allows
for later expansion, or for adding
components not included in the first
installation.
Extra strong material
for extra safety
Extra strong frames and front exit
posts provide durability and safety in
this parlour. When you take a second
look, you can see the 3 mm thick metal
sheets for butt pan and pit edges. The
butt pan is always supplied in stainless
steel, while pit edges are available in
stainless steel as an option. The steel
fittings keep their shape securely over
a long life span.
10
Installers like the real
pit edge overhang
You’ll appreciate it too, as it reduces
installation time and your costs. It
needs no local shuttering, simplifies
the alignment of the pit edge
during installation – and facilitates
the streamlined look of the entire
installation.
Carrier rail
The carrier rail is another option to
make milkers happy in this parlour.
It makes it possible to keep the pit
floor clear, with no buckets, cans
and papers on the floor. Fingertip
control is all that is needed to push
carriers from one place to the other,
so supplies and consumables can
always be available where and when
you need them. After milking buckets
can be pushed to the machine or milk
room to dispose of waste and refill
with teat dips and udder towels.

DeLaval P2100 - bolted construction for fast installation
Open pit – Breezeway
– installations
With the Breezeway flat floor, milkers
walk straight into the parlour as there
are no steps to climb down. This is
very convenient for milking personnel,
and supports faster milking. It allows
for placement of the receiver outside
the parlour pit; less equipment in the
parlour, less contact with moisture,
and a cleaner working environment.
Basement installation
Basement installation requires
one room located underneath the
milker pit, in which some of the
milking equipment can be installed.
It provides a clean environment for
pulsators, sensors and milk meters.
Access for servicing equipment
is very easy, and this clean space
prolongs equipment life span. After
several years the components still
look new.
A special plus for the milking
personnel is that when the pulsators
are installed in the basement, there is
no pulsator noise in the milker pit.
