DairyRobot R9500 vs Triomatic
Two robotic barn machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
GEA's box-style voluntary milking robot — In-Liner Everything performs stimulation, teat cleaning, forestripping, milking and post-dipping in a single attachment, in the most compact box footprint (5.3 m²) on the market. Scales from single box to multi-box and robotic rotary; sold and serviced in Switzerland via GEA Solution Centers.
Best for: Dairy herds wanting robotic milking from one of the big-three suppliers (Lely/DeLaval/GEA) with a compact box that saves up to 40% space in multi-box layouts.Modular automatic feeding system from Dutch feed-mixer specialist Trioliet — a feed kitchen (T10–T40 variants, from stationary mixers to feed floors for silage blocks and bales) supplies a robot that mixes and distributes rations around the clock. Robots come suspended, battery-powered or wheel-driven; the wheel-driven WP 2 300 carries a 3 m³ chamber with two vertical stainless-steel augers and a dual-side discharge belt, powered continuously from an overhead rail so it never runs out of battery. Dual-Flow mixing handles batches from roughly 60 kg.
Best for: Dairy and beef farms wanting a full automatic-feeding chain (storage, mixing, distribution) from one supplier, with feed-kitchen options matching how you store forage — bunkers, blocks, or bales.| DairyRobot R9500 Verified 2026-07-16 | Triomatic Verified 2026-07-17 | |
