WHAT ARE THE COST BENEFITS?

DairyFlo soft plastic liners have proven to outlast other liners because they do not absorb any milk fats or chemicals. They are extremely impact resistant and UV resistant meaning the surface of the liner will not break down or crack. Typically, Dairyflo liners will last one complete season, in some cases two seasons depending on herd size to shed capacity.

From 1st July to the 7th of September this shed would have completed 2500 milking cycles, and again late in November. That’s the equivalent of 3 changes of rubber liners per season. In contrast, one complete set of DairyFlo liners is expected to last the full season.

Typically, DairyFlo liners will last one complete season, in some cases two seasons depending on herd size to shed capacity with annual savings of $750.00*

RUBBER COST

Approximately $20.00/set= 50 sets x3 = TOTAL COST: $3000.00

TIME TO INSTALL

Take 2 operators to change 50 sets approximately 3.5 hours.

RUBBER COST

3.5 hours x 2 operators at $20/hr x3 times season = $420

DAIRYFLO COST

3.5 hours x 2 operators at $20/hr x1 times season = $140

Rubber annual combined cost – $3140.00
DairyFlo annual combined cost – $2390.00

ANNUAL SAVINGS WITH DAIRYFLO – $750.00

I like it how the tubing and liner cling onto the stainless steel better now we don't have air and milk lines coming off anymore.Craig Otane – Central Hawke's Bay

5000 + MILKINGSZERO BACTERIA

We set out to prove that DairyFlo soft plastic liners are the most hygienic option by conducting a simple test involving six DairyFlo liners. After 5400 milkings, we sent the 6 liners off to Hills Laboratories where they were tested for accumulation of bacteria.

It wasn’t a surprise to us that the tests showed the DairyFlo liners contained no traces of residual bacteria at all.
