• Fully Automated - Fully automatic, computer controlled system eliminates time spent cleaning, filling, refilling and emptying the hoofbath.
• Reduces Waste - Hoofbath reduces chemical waste by having a precise metering system to dispense the chemical into the mixing chamber.
• Safer Workplace - The hoofbath creates a safer workplace by minimizing the contact between employees and chemicals.
• Durable Construction - This is a tough, stainless steel hoofbath that will not crack in severe temperatures.  It is immune to chemical corrosion.

Take an important step in hoof care management!

• Fast Milkout - Top-unloading action from a bottom unloading claw.  The unique hooded outlet stump causes an emptying action similar to what is found with top unloading claws
• Unit Alignment  - Unique design aligns very well, especially on cows with uneven udders.
• Maximum Capacity - Over 11.5 oz internal holding capacity and full flow inlet nipples are less restrictive to milk flow
• Stronger than Steel - The claw is constructed of the latest dairy approved engineered resins.  The Flo-Star® MAX withstood over 7200 LBS of force before collapsing.  The original BouMatic Stainless Steel Visi-Claw collapsed at less than 4800 LBS of force

The new gold standard

• The Problem: Lameness

   

  • Lameness had been ranked as the third most common disorder on modern dairy farms (behind mastitis and reproductive failure). 1

  • Costs of lameness very from $150 to $300 per cow per year.2

   

• The Solution: StepMetrix

  • 1.Cow walks over StepMetrix sensor platform after every mlking (Located in exit alley);

  • Cow is automatically identified;

  • Individual cow step’s are analyzed and assigned an StepMetrix SMX™ Score;

  •  Cow’s identity and SMX scores are transmitted to computer;

  • Individual cow & group data viewable within StepMetrix Management Reports

  .

  .

• The Benefit:

  • Enables early detection and treatment!•

  • Enables SMX tracking to rations and hoof trimming & foot health programs.

  • Labor-Saving automated scoring.

  • Optimizes hoof trimmer services.

Accurately detect lameness early.

• Faster Milkout - milk flows quickly and evenly out of the claw instead of collecting within, easily handling even the highest producers.
• Lower Somatic Cell Counts - backjetting (reverse flow) is considered a major cause of intra-unit transfer of mastitis, and Flo-Star's unique design reduces this potential.
• Healthier Udders - the claw is well balanced to reduce liner slippage, liner crawl and unit fall off, speeding up milking, which can improve udder health.
• High Quality Milk - milk flows in a smooth, gentle, spiral motion, reducing splashing and agitation, two factors which can reduce milk quality.

• The Boumatic CowTrakker uses state-of-the-art electronic motion sensing technology to monitor cow activity.  It is worn around the neck, instead of on the leg, which helps to minimize lost or damaged tags and prevents sore legs due to improper installation.
• Cow ID and motion sensing all in one tag.
• + Activity=Heat
• - Activity=Health Problems

What are your cows doing when you are not watching?

• Based on fluid dynamic principles, this meter goes unchallenged as the most accurate meter available.
• The meter operates with a diaphragm assembly that uses vacuum and atmospheric air exchange instead of a motor, and with only one moving part, maintenance and expenses are kept down.
• Measures conductivity of milk, alerting to potential mastitis cases.
• With a network controller, the meter can work with other management software programs such as Dairy Comp 305.

How much are your cows milking?

• Four different models of electronic sensing detachers to meet your farms individual needs.
• Help improve teat ends by removing the milking unit when the cow is finished milking.  This can be customized for your cows with an industry leading seven different settings.
• Claw lift and claw drop enables the unit to be dropped below the curb, giving the milker unobstructed view of the udder, and lifts the unit for easy attach.
• Add curb attach buttons for easy attaching, or pulsator shut-off to save wear on the pulsators.

Get your units off.....on time.....every time!

• Available with a 10-year extended warranty.
• Built in, permanently attached washing system and a oversized, contoured support saddle.
• Dari-Kool bulk milk coolers larger than 800 gallon are constructed with two or more independent, full flow cooling plates.  This fail safe design distributes the cooling load evenly between compressors.  Should one compressor fail, milk will be cooled by the other independent system, avoiding the loss of a tank of milk.
• Proven reliability with over 60 years of manufacturing expertise.

Cool your milk quickly and efficiently with a Glacier.

• The BouMatic exclusive Exit Reel works like a revolving door, gently ushering cows from their milking stalls, while separating them from cows entering the stall.  This allows faster exit/entrance cycle times.
• Cows are not forced to move their head out of the path of any gate lifting in front of them.
• Because the rotation speed is constant and the exit/entrance cycle is mechanized, more consistent cycle times can be achieved.
• Available on herringbone and parallel stalls.

Getting your cows in, and out, of the parlor faster, gets you out of the parlor faster!

• Installed properly on an existing pulsator, the Pulse-O-Rater contains a microprocessor that analyzes pulsator performance pneumatically - continuously, 24 hours a day.
• This patented technology makes monitoring your parlor as simple as RED or GREEN.
• Simple one wire, two hose for fast, easy installation.
• Pulse-O-Raters monitor changes in pulses per minute; pulsation ratio; A,B,C, and D phase duration; B and D phase vacuum; and pulsators that quit working.
• Can be used with a variety of brands of pulsators.

How many cows do you want to milk with improper pulsation? The Pulse-O-Rater.  Only from Boumatic.

• HIGHLY ACCURATE, compact machine that tests the amount of Somatic Cells in any given sample of milk
• Results within 45 seconds
• Sample bulk tanks, string sample, dry cows, fresh cows, heifers, purchased animals, and hospital pens
