Centrus

The worlds first composite kevlar platform!

Centrus composite Kevlar rotary platforms have revolutionised rotary platform design. The deck sections are formed in a nine layer laminated process that includes Kevlar, a material offering five times the tensile strength of concrete, the result is a superior strength deck, 80% lighter than traditional concrete alternatives.

Made in a controlled environment Centrus composite Kevlar rotary platforms integrate perfectly with a Waikato Milking System and incorporate a range of unique features. A professional and modern approach to platform engineering has produced a world class product and the biggest breakthrough in design for over two decades.

Integration is critical to the success of a rotary project, Centrus does this better than any other platform design. Every bracket and every detail has been carefully considered ensuring optimum performance. The steelwork is hot dip galvanised, considerably adding to the integrity of the product and greatly extending its useful life.    

Centrus is 80% lighter and 5% stronger than a concrete equivalent, this means reduced wear and tear. The drive gear will last longer and the surface finish will remain steadfast for years to come. Operator safety is well taken care of and for convenience a second operator consul is installed at cups off. Emergency stops can be activated from anywhere around the platform.

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

When you buy a Cenrus there are no additional costs – we’ve got everything covered.
