Three wheels for ANY terrain
Feeding calves is heavy physical work, and moving 100 kg or more several times a day is not an infrequent occurrence. Coping with inclines, rough terrain, or ice and snow during the winter is especially difficult.
The Urban MilkShuttle has been specifically designed with a view towards such daily challenges:
➜ 3 wheels for optimum mobility and all-terrain capability – especially for steps, rough terrain and during the winter
➜ No sudden setting in motion: Automatic stop for secure park position even on hills
➜ Available with and without drive
➜ Extremely small turning circle
➜ Well thought-out functions
➜ Practical accessories
All-terrain capable
thanks to 3 large wheels & a strong electric drive
due to high demand, the milkshuttle now comes in four sizes!
*Please note: The MilkShuttle 100 can not be ordered in a pasteurizing model. Models 150, 200, & 250 can be purchased as a MilkShuttle (only) or a MilkShuttle Pasteurizer (with the ability to pasteurize milk).

Grow your herd with MilkShuttle Pasteurizers
introducing the
milkshuttle pasteur
The MilkShuttle with pasteurization function
During pasteurization, the heating of the milk reliably kills off germs and bacteria. The milks is more digestible for your calves, and problems with diarrhoea are avoided.
Pasteurizing the right way – seamlessly & without re-contamination
Pasteurizing is not equal to pasteurizing!
With the Urban MilkShuttle Pasteur you have a powerful heater (6kW) and an efficient cooling. The slowly rotating agitator ensures continuous and complete circulation of the entire container content. It also prevents the milk from foaming, which can be a reason for incomplete pasteurization.
Heating/Cooling unit in the housing floor
For the Urban MilkShuttle Pasteur, the heating/ cooling unit is in the housing floor below the milk. Even smallest amounts of milk can be cooled quickly and efficiently without losing thermal energy via the outer wall of the container.
Solid connection
Quick release to connect the MilkShuttle Pasteur with the cooling water supply and drain.

Alma Pro Smart Touch Feeder
User-friendly: Feeding via touchscreen
Unique monitoring and convenient setting and adjustment of feeding curves allow you to feed the animals appropriate to their individual needs and to make calf rearing more efficient and profitable.
This monitoring is unique among today's feeding systems.
The evaluation system provides you at all times with a quick overview, if the calf drank sufficiently or if it needs support. The overview graphically presents the daily amounts consumed, the feed consumed in the last seven days as well as the drinking behavior: how much and how fast the animal drank.
easily establish contact
Operation and data retrieval via the integrated touchscreen is very easy. Other remote control options via PC, smartphone or tablet make the Urban Alma Pro even more comfortable.
Create as many feeding curves as you like and adjust them simply with the touch function: daily amount of milk, size of the portion and distribution of portions, feeding days, weaning, alarm system, & feed concentration.
"Since we started working with the feeders, they have taken a big chunk out of our workload and we are able to use the time saved for other tasks on the farm."
The Alma Pro takes care of the young calves on the Meier farm with great success.

Alma Pro L – Goat and Lamb Feeder
Feeding technology for lambs & goats. The URBAN Alma Pro L automatic feeder provides your lambs with fresh milk from day one. Milk is available at all times at a consistent temperature and concentration. According to their individual needs, the lambs consume species-appropriate amounts in small feed portions spread across the day. A large touch screen facilitates monitoring. This display is very easy to operate thanks to its particularly user friendly interface. In addition to data relevant to feeding, other health parameters are automatically collected and stored completely. The farmer is thus able to see immediately how each of his lambs is doing.
