Discover Paneltim® for Milking Robot Rooms
As more dairy farmers embrace robot milking systems, the need for durable, hygienic, and easy-to-install construction materials has never been greater. Traditional building materials like wood, concrete, or PVC often fall short in the demanding environment of a milking robot room — where hygiene, efficiency, and long-term reliability are critical.
That’s where Paneltim® panels & Thorp Equipment come in.
Engineered in Europe, produced in the USA and trusted by farmers across the U.S., Paneltim® Lightweight Structural Plastic Panels offer a modern alternative that outperforms traditional materials in total cost of ownership (TCO), hygiene, durability, and installation speed.
✅ Unmatched hygiene
Paneltim® panels feature smooth, non-porous surfaces and fully sealed edges, making them impervious to moisture, bacteria, and dirt. They’re designed to withstand frequent wash-downs and disinfectants, helping you maintain a spotless robot room with less effort and time. Milk inspectors love them — and your cows will too.
Why more farmers are switching to Paneltim®
✅ Built to Last – No Rot, No Rust
Unlike wood, which can rot, or concrete, which cracks over time, Paneltim® panels are corrosion-resistant and impact-resistant. They won’t warp, discolor, or weaken — even under tough barn conditions. Their long service life means less maintenance, fewer repairs, and real peace of mind.
✅ Faster, Easier Installation
Need to retrofit an existing barn or build from scratch? Paneltim’s lightweight, modular panels are easy to cut, weld, and assemble. In fact, a milking robot room built with Paneltim can be installed in as little as 7–10 hours — compared to 7–10 days with traditional materials. That’s less downtime, less labor, and faster milking.
✅ Adaptable to Your Farm’s Needs
Paneltim panels are customizable in size and color (even matching your robot brand) and are ideal for retrofits, expansions, or new builds. Whether you milk 60 cows or 600, you can count on a solution that fits — and grows — with your operation.
