The BECO XR Rotary - XR for Extreme Reliability
BECO Dairy Automation approached the development of a rotary parlor in the same way we approach engineering
and development off all our equipment, not from the ground up, but from the cow out. This unique approach involves
observing and knowing the requirements of the large commercial dairy, engineering components and design for
simplicity, and building in extreme reliability.

The BECO XR Rotary
A Rugged and Reliable Rotary
A rotary parlor loaded with cows can have varying lateral
forces up to 54 tons working on the centering devices. This
is a lot of force to place on a single centering structure or on
the roller grooves. BECO recognized that for long term
extreme reliability, there must be a more solid centering
system than the common centering pivot found on most
rotaries. BECO engineers decided not to rely on the drive
wheels or platform rollers alone and designed the XR Rotary
with heavy-duty side thrust rollers every 15 feet around the
inner rotating deck.

The XR Rotary also uses injection molded PTP rollers that
are machined flat to provide a large and even surface to
distribute the weight of the platform and cows. These 6”
diameter rollers have over 2-1/2” of contact with both the
upper and lower flat track. Due to the side thrust rollers,
these rollers simply roll smoothly between two flat track
surfaces with no grooved side contact.

The rotary swivel is another key to Extreme Reliability. The
6-way swivel of the BECO XR Rotary comes standard with a
2-1/2" milk swivel, a 10 ring brass pit electric swivel, twin 4”
vacuum swivel, air and water swivels for air operated
automation, backflush, and CIP cleaning. Swivels are filled
with an automatic gas pressures automatic lubrication
system to assure constant quality lubrication. The weight of
the lines from the swivel are suspended to reduce wear
thereby assuring a long life.

The BECO XR Rotary
Built for milking performance and milking efficiency.
Maximizing milking parlor efficiency starts with effective cow flow.
And effective cow flow starts with creating an environment for cows
to be comfortable. Not one cookie-cutter solutions, BECO built
unique designs into the XR Rotary to improve milking performance
and milking efficiency.

An extended deck comes standard with the BECO XR Rotary
parlor. Cows enter onto the extended deck more quickly and remain
calm throughout milking because they feel secure. An extended
deck rotary also offers a dry location to install and service milking
equipment.

The BECO XR Rotary
Factory installed for extreme reliability.
The BECO XR Rotary parlor you own will be installed by
experienced installers. This is a totally factory installed rotary
placed upon the specified concrete foundations built by the builder
contractor. Factory installation includes the platform, the stainless
steel lines, swivel, and the ultra high test concrete for the cow deck.
Your local dealer will than install the milking equipment and
automation and electrical controls.

As one buyer put it... "I thought one particular brand of
rotary stood out as the best of them all, until I saw the
BECO XR. It definitely takes things to a whole new level"
