Milking equipment
20 years ago in 1992, Lely introduced the Lely Astronaut milking robot. This
groundbreaking product was acknowledged as the most important invention of the
20th century for dairy farmers. Ever since we continued to innovate using specific
know‑how from our dedicated people at Lely along with feedback from our customers,
this has resulted in an impressive range of products. All of our ‘milking equipment’
is developed to assist the farmer in optimizing all essential factors around the
milking process.

Benefit as farmer
Being one of the main operations on your dairy farm – milking – is taken
care of by a Lely Astronaut A4 robot, you now have the time to enjoy a
better lifestyle. Organizing your working day the way you like it allows
you to be more flexible and no longer have to stick to fixed milking times.
The time saved can now be allocated to monitoring your herd and to
optimize all the essential decision making factors that go into making
your farm a more profitable business. Two decades of robotic milking
have made it clear to our customers that by allowing the cow to make her
own decisions, both comfort and productivity are optimized. The cows
make their own choice for either resting, being milked or fed, ensuring
maximum performance for all cows across the herd. Cow production
increases of more than 10% are common after the installation of a
Lely Astronaut robotic milking system. Especially heifers which benefit
from more milkings per day. By using advanced robot technology in the
barn, farmers achieve flexibility for other activities and an increase up to Freedom for you.
two million litres of milk per fte, all in a cow friendly manner.
Why opt for the Lely Astronaut milking robot?

Dairy farmers who allow their cows to move freely in the barn achieve
the best results. Just like human beings, cows do not like to be pushed
around. Due to Lely’s free cow traffic concept, your cows can eat, drink,
rest and be milked in the Lely Astronaut robot throughout the day,
while all data can be viewed at the touch of a button using the
T4C management programme. If you decide on a Lely 24 hour/7 days
a week milking robot, you will enjoy the peace of mind that comes
with our 24 hour/7 days on farm support network. Lely is the only
one that is able to offer you a fully-fledged service contract, based on
a pay-per‑kg milk basis. Lely Astronaut robots stand out from their
competitors. Durability and ease of operation are always key to high
performance with the unique Lely Astronaut arm. The procedure

Lely Essentials Foam Alkaline and Lely Foam Unit
The Lely Foam Unit is a strong, compact foam system developed for cleaning
activities on the dairy farm. The Lely Foam Unit is quickly installed in any stall
or robot area and is easy to use. The concentration of the detergent is easy to
adjust using the dial. Thus, it is possible to select the appropriate concentration
for each type of contamination and surface. After use, it is possible to rinse the
Lely Foam Unit with clean water.
The Lely Foam Unit is delivered including a red foam hose, strong foam head
and suction tube (including filter and cap) for the detergent. The Lely Foam
Unit is suitable for cleaning, for example, walls and floors in (milking) stalls/
robot areas and the outside of the Lely Astronaut milking robot or other milking
equipment. The red foam hose has a length of 20 meters, so it is possible
to reach various places. During use, the detergent is primed continuously
via the transparent suction tube and is mixed with tap water to the chosen
concentration. The Lely Foam Unit produces a thick, strong foam which adheres
to the surface for a long time. The Lely Foam Unit is a low-pressure cleaner
which uses water pressure only.
Lely Essential Foam is a detergent which is developed for safe and effective
cleaning. It is developed for effective cleaning of milking robot areas and
(milking) stalls. Lely Essentials Foam is effective for the removal of protein and
fat deposits. The extra surfactant assure effective contact time in combination
with thorough penetration of the dirt resulting in ease to clean. The detergent
has a pleasant lemon scent and is biologically degradable. This product can be
used in the Lely Foam Unit. The Lely robot is not recommended to be cleaned
with high pressure. When applying the product, a strong foam is produced
which has very good adhesive properties. This results in better cleaning,
because the foam adheres to the dirt longer.
Lely Essentials Foam is supplied in 22 kg cans.
Lely Peroxide test

The Lely Peroxide test has been developed to measure the concentration of
Lely Astri-L or Lely Astri-Brush on the Lely brushes. This to make sure that the
correct concentration is used.
Lely Peroxide test is supplied in a tube of 100 test strips.
Lely Astri-Cell
Lely Astri-Cell is a fluid for measuring the somatic cell count in the
milk by means of the MQC-C sensor system of the Astronaut milking
robot. This sensor system measures the SCC of each milking. The test in
MQC-C is based on the insights of the CMT testing method, known as
the California Mastitis Test. Adding Lely Astri-Cell to the MQC system
provides accurate information about the somatic cell count of the milk
and, hence, an indication of milk quality and udder health. The product
contains a carefully selected and developed capillary substance with unique
properties and ensures a reliable chemical reaction with the cell walls of
the leukocytes (white blood cells).
Lely Astri-Cell is supplied in the form of a concentrated product (1 litre).

Lely Astri-Cid acid cleaner
Lely Astri-Cid is a concentrated fluid cleaning agent on phosphoric
and citric acid basis which has been specifically developed for the main
cleaning process in the Lely Astronaut milking robot. The product is
composed of special, highly active acids for removing inorganic dirt
such as lime and milk-stone.
This is crucial to the prevention of corrosion and scaling of the

Lely MQC (Milk Quality Control System), i.e. the heart of the
Lely Astronaut milking robot. Deposits will result in deviations in
measurement and wrong interpretations. Lely Astri-Cid does not have
a negative impact on rubber joints and silicone; in addition it has
excellent properties to reduce the bacterial count.
Lely Astri-Cid is supplied in a clearly recognisable red container with

a capacity of 24 kg.
Lely Industries N.V. is not liable for, and does not cover under
warranty, any damage or harm due to the use of other cleaning
products not meeting the Lely specifications.

Lely Astri-Lin cleaning agent

Lely Astri-Lin is a fluid, concentrated, chlorine-free heat cleaning agent on
an alkaline basis which has been specifically developed for the main cleaning
process in the Lely Astronaut milking robot. This product has excellent cleaning
properties to remove milk fat as well as protein. This cleaning agent has been
extensively tested for the Lely Astronaut milking robot and does not harm the
machine.
The main benefit of this product is that it is chlorine-free. Products containing

chlorine (gas) cause damage to stainless steel as well as corrosion of critical
parts of the Lely Astronaut milking robot. Tests have shown that corrosion
causes damage to critical parts, which eventually leads to leakage.
• Lely Astri-Lin is a chlorine-free product.
• Lely Astri-Lin has a very high pH value and, hence, ensures very
effective cleaning.
Lely Astri-Lin is supplied in recognizable blue cans which contain

25 kg detergent.
Lely Industries N.V. is not liable for, and does not cover under warranty,
any damage or harm due to the use of other cleaning products not
meeting the Lely specifications.

Lely Astri-TDS laser lens cleaner

Lely Astri-TDS is a fluid cleaning agent on an acid base for cleaning of the
electronic lens as well as the caps of the laser detector in the Lely Astronaut
milking robot. If the lens of the laser is not cleaned, it takes longer before the
teats are detected, which reduces the output of the Lely Astronaut milking
robot. Lely Astri-TDS removes deposits of hard water, urine, milk-stone and iron
from the laser lenses. This product has been extensively tested on the robot's
specific material as well as organic residues.
Lely Astri-TDS is supplied in 1 litre bottles.

Feeding equipment
Costs of feed are among the most important cost factors in cattle farming and therefore
feeding efficiency is of paramount importance. Optimal yields can be achieved by
ensuring the correct output of cows (kg milk fat and milk protein, longevity, animal
health, etc.). It is generally known that frequent feeding leads to an increased milk
production and has a positive effect on cows' health. Lely automation provides means
to further optimise production, cow health as well as feeding efficiency. In addition, you
– as a dairy farmer – can save time and operate more flexibly.

It is well known that continuous availability of fresh roughage results in increased dry
matter intake and increased milk production. In addition, frequent feeding has a positive
impact on general animal health. Quite often, labour is the limiting factor in making
fresh feed available to cows around the clock. Thanks to the Lely Juno, this problem is a
thing of the past.

The benefits of the Lely

Juno for you and your herd
24-hour operation and increased feed intake
Constant availability of feed stimulates cow traffic and increases the dry
matter intake (+3.5%*), especially during the night; in addition, feed
residues are reduced.
Improved animal well-being

Roughage pushed up throughout the day improves cow traffic and
provides roughage around the clock.
Uniform quality roughage available

day and night
The Lely Juno continuously pushes roughage towards the feed fence.
The cows are thus given no opportunity to be selective since an equal
quantity of roughage is available at the feed fence day and night.
More frequent use of the milking robot

When combined with a milking robot, the Lely Juno has proven that
it increases the visiting rate to the robot (+10.9%*), day and night.
Increased visits result in higher milk production, especially for lower-
ranking cows. In addition, the milking robot is used more efficiently and
fewer cows appear on the attention lists.
A quieter herd
Due to the regular pattern of the Lely Juno, low-ranking cows can also
access fresh roughage, after the high-ranking cows have had their fill.
Cost savings
Improved feed intake means a reduction of waste roughage.
The Lely Juno also saves on work, fuel, and wear and tear of equipment.
The Lely Juno is equipped with an energy-efficient electric motor.
*) Result may vary depending on local conditions.

• Improved feed efficiency.

• Increased robot visits – 10.9%* – on robotic dairies.
• Improved milk production, especially from low-ranking cows.
• Increased feed intake.
• No labour, yet pushing 4 times more often.
Feeding equipment
Minimal use of energy
The Lely Juno is extremely energy-efficient and has a positive effect on
CO2 emissions. On a yearly basis, a tractor or shovel uses ten times as
much energy and emits approximately four times as much CO2.
Labour-saving and more flexibility

Based on three feed rounds of 10 minutes a day each, the Lely Juno
will save you at least 183 hours, i.e. 22 eight hour working days a year!
Moreover, the Lely Juno ensures unrivalled flexibility; you can let the
Juno push the feed as often and whenever you like, twenty-four hours
a day, seven days a week.

Lely Cosmix feeder – if cows deserve a little
more
Feeding cows individually is an acceptable way of managing the body condition score.
By managing the supply of concentrate in this way, you will maximise general health,
milk yield and fertility of your cows and improve milk/feed efficiency.
46
Cost effective feeding

The Lely Cosmix feeder provides accurate information about the
additional concentrate feed and the intake of cows. Additional
concentrate feeders are used to balance the ration for low and
high yielding cows, or to distribute extra feed types to cows that
require it. The Lely Cosmix is fully compatible with Lely’s Astronaut
milking robots and is connected to Lely’s T4C management
programme. It allows regular concentrate feeding parallel to the
concentrates supplied in the milking robot, stimulating a stable
rumen pH. Moreover, it allows you to regulate the feeding based
on milking times resulting in a higher stimulation of cows to visit
the robot more often. Cows are not allocated any concentrate
through the Cosmix when they need to be milked. Once milked
Feeding equipment
the allocation will continue.
Users say:

as well
Dry cows are often placed in a calving barn or straw pen during
the last transitional weeks before calving. These cows cannot
be fed in the robot but it is of paramount importance that they
receive sufficient concentrate. Therefore, it is ideal to install an
additional Cosmix feed station here.

This is cost-effective because no additional sensors are needed to
start and stop the augers.
Lely Cosmix P – feeding even more cows

Since the cows can take their feed in a protected environment, the
Lely Cosmix P provides the possibility to dispense larger portions
– or feed at a faster rate – without the animals being chased away.
Consequently, total feeding capacity is doubled. Thanks to the
design of the Lely Cosmix P with a low entrance threshold to enter,
the feeder is easily accessible for all cows.
Lely Cosmix S – flexibly adjustable side gates

The Lely Cosmix S has adjustable side gates. This allows you
to adapt the system to your herd or barn situation allowing
for even greater flexibility.
Lely Cosmix P – integrated protection gate

The Lely Cosmix P is fitted with a unique protection
gate (M-box). The design and shape of this gate is such
that other cows cannot trouble the cow standing in the
feeder station. Research has shown that a concentrate
station with a protective gate reduces aggression within
the herd. More importantly, the risk is reduced of a cow
being chased away from the feeder station by a higher
ranking cow. The Cosmix P reduces competition and
avoids stress and injuries, e.g. of the udders.

Lely Cosmix M – the mobile

concentrate station
The fluctuating availability and quality of grass
throughout the seasons always is an unreliable
factor for pasture grazing in the dairy farming
business. In spring time, there is usually an
abundance of high-grade grass but during the
summer and winter the performance of the animals
is usually affected. The mobile concentrate feeder

Sense and simplicity

The Discovery mobile barn cleaner is a battery-driven vehicle.
At installation, you use the E-link remote control to pre‑programme
the routing to be followed by the Discovery. Routings are flexible so
that you have the option to ensure more intensive cleaning of some
areas in the barn during certain hours of the day, like behind the
cubicles.

Lely L4C – more than light
Lely L4C – Light for Cows, is much more than just a number of lights to light your barn;
it is an altogether different approach to barn lighting. This new system – the first of
its kind – has been developed to ensure optimum light distribution in the barn, using
specially designed lamp units. Thus, the system ensures optimum light levels throughout
the barn while keeping energy consumption as low as possible.

provides the facility of an advanced and custom-made lighting plan.
Choose a light and bright barn

Cows are sensitive animals and their day-and-night rhythm is of
paramount importance. Specific light levels are necessary to impact
the difference between the night-and-day rhythms on the cow’s body.
In barns there is usually not enough light, especially in winter time, to
reach a natural light level. With correct lighting control, cows benefit
most from a light intensity between 150 and 200 lux during a 16 hour
period, combined with an eight hour dark period. In the summer season,
the natural light level may often be sufficient in itself, although lighting Minimal light exposure
control may – even in summer time – provide benefits on cloudy, darker
days. Due to the combination of a light sensor and the network plus Lux Light hours
its settings, you can operate a fully automated system that guarantees Milking cows > 150 ± 16
optimal light distribution without any additional labour. Dry cows > 150 ±8
Individual light plan

Thanks to the lighting plan, an optimum lighting programme can be
set up to ensure perfect light distribution using a minimum number of
lamp units. All lamp units are made of outstandingly high-grade and
Barn equipment
sustainable material with maximum life span. Lely L4C adjusts its lighting
schedule to the programme installed, and takes into account outside
light levels so the lights will only burn when strictly necessary. Due to
the unique fact that each lamp unit has its own node box, connected
to a network, the individual lights have their own lighting programme
according to their place in the barn.
Attention to every cow

Not only your dairy cows, but your young stock and dry cows will
also benefit from optimal light distribution. In the set-up of the
lighting programme, these special groups have been given particular
attention. This is because young stock and dry cows prefer a different
light distribution, which is easily – and automatically – managed
through the Lely L4C lighting programme. Users say:
“It’s easy; more light, more milk.”

health a regular hoof bath is essential. Optimal claw health on a robot farm is key for
sufficient robot visits.

• Prepare the footbath by pressing one button.
• No disturbance of cow traffic.
• The bath stays clean.
• Easy to control.
• Clean and refill of the bath by pressing one button.
The Lely Walkway hoof care foot bath is extremely user‑friendly

Lely Original – quality mark for Lely parts
To increase the hygiene, prevent unplanned breakdowns and unforeseen cost of the
Lely Astronaut robot, it is important to change main wear parts frequently. A range of
Lely Original wear parts has been developed especially for the Lely Astronaut robot.
This range of products can be replaced easily by you without requiring the help of a
technician. Lely teatliners and Lely brushes have been tested extensively under the
effects of use of Astri cleaning products. This ensures the quality of the wear parts and
thus your robot.

Lely Consumable Box

A Lely Consumable Box contains the most relevant wear parts that should
be kept at hand at any time at your farm. This box contains wear parts
that should be replaced at least once a year to guarantee the highest
hygiene-level. The Lely Consumable box is available for A4, A3 and A2
Astronaut robots.
Teat liners Lely advises to change silicon teatliners after

10,000 milkings. Replace the teatliners in time
to prevent leakage and the possibility of udder
infections. Teatliners are available in different
sizes.
Milk filters Lely recommends changing the filters three times
a day during each cleaning cycle.
Teat cup ropes Replace the ropes once a year.
Cleaning brushes The Lely brush features different red/white
bristle types in a spiral shape to ensure
stimulation and cleaning. Check the brushes
regularly and replace them at least once a year.

the milk. Hygiene within the tubes is crucial for
a good milk quality; change your tubes at least
once a year.
