Apollo helps dairies reduce operational costs while improving performance, thanks to seamless integration with BouMatic’s HiFlo™ pulsators and detach cylinders. These components reduce air usage and optimize vacuum control, helping producers cut energy consumption without compromising cow comfort or milk quality. This allows more milk production using less power and run time. In contrast to fixed, inflexible systems from competitors, Apollo’s modular setup allows you to automate incrementally, saving money and scaling with your operation’s needs over time.
