Centrus composite dairy platforms are unique in the world – there simply are no substitutes or alternatives. Unlike concrete alternatives, which are built on site, each composite deck is manufactured in the factory to consistent stringent quality standards.

An exciting innovation in the manufacture of these unique platforms has enabled Waikato Milking Systems to move beyond a predetermined bail configuration, providing farmers with unheralded freedom to tailor their new farm dairy.

75% lighter and eight times stronger

The deck sections of the Centrus are formed in a multi-layer laminated process.  The result is a deck which is 75% lighter and eight times stronger than traditional concrete alternatives resulting in reduced wear and tear and maintenance costs.

The composite platform is insulated from the ground, protecting staff and cows from static electricity. With proper care, Centrus Composite platforms will look like new for their entire life, never pitting or cracking with age and/or exposure to effluent and chemicals.

Cow comfort is enhanced with the addition of specially formulated and replaceable rubber mats in every bail.  The mats are soft to stand on so they protect the cows’ hooves during milking and promote a quieter milking environment.

The rotation of the Centrus Composite Platform is driven by unique Pivot Rollers which maintain perfect alignment with the platform’s support structure (the ‘I’ beam) even under 24 hour milking conditions or in the event of ground subsidence.

Waikato Milking Systems manage each stage of the production and commissioning of each Centrus Composite platform – from manufacture through to the first milking – to preserve the integrity of this superb product.

The platforms arrive on site – anywhere in the world – accompanied by a specialist team who oversee the unloading, set-up and commissioning of every Centrus dairy platform.
