Cleanliness and hygiene are an integral part of dairy parlors – The role of dairy wall panels

29 December, 2022

Dairy farming is a profitable business in the USA because the demand for dairy product is increasing. Some of the products are milk, cheese butter, yogurt, and ice-cream. Dairy farming is highly mechanized. Most cows on the farms in the USA are confined to a space where they are given food. Since there is no natural grazing, the livestock stalls should be clean and hygienic. A healthy cow can produce enormous quantities of milk. Usually, milk is extracted twice a day at an interval of 12 hours. Dairy farms raise their mother cows and their calves so a clean interior is essential.

Many livestock live inside a specific area that requires to be clean and hygienic. Raw milk is extracted there so the dairy farm needs to be well-maintained and hygienic. Dairy farms should have a cool and dry environment to ensure good health of the animals and it prevents spoilage of dairy products. Dehumidification should be done at regular intervals but this is not a permanent solution. Humidity can still prevail after dehumidification has been performed. Therefore, we recommend adding a layer of PVC dairy wall panels on the walls and ceiling of the dairy farm.

Waterproof PVC panels

Cows produce lot of manure each day. There are more than hundreds of cows that live together in cramped spaces. This results in water, stench, spillage of urine or dung on the walls and excessive humidity. It is not possible to change the way you keep the cows but you can make the interior favorable for them. PVC dairy wall panels are completely moisture-resistant. They are entirely waterproof so no amount of moisture insider the dairy parlor can harm the walls and ceiling. This will keep the interior protected from getting damaged due to moisture penetration. Duramax PVC sheets have a special antibacterial coating that prevents the growth of mold and mildew.

Reduce the effects of heat stress by installing vinyl panels

Heat stress among livestock happens when the cows give out and absorb a lot of heat compared to what they can release by sweating and respiration. Too much heat and above 70% moisture can lead to ill-health of the animals. Sometimes this health issue can be fatal. Cows start feeling mildly stress even at temperature 72°F with 50% moisture content. Cows that eat a lot, tend to produce more heat so they might feel heat stressed even inside barns or dairy parlors that are well-ventilated.  You can cover the livestock zone by installing vinyl panels and then add another layer of solid insulation.  

Simple installation process

The installation process is simple as the panels are fixed to the studs with hidden screws and fasteners. The panels come in interlocking patterns with tongues and grooves that lock moisture from entering the panels. There are no additional costs in hiring multiple labor and purchasing extra material. One man can install the panels within 7 to 8 hours so you can again start the operations within a day or maybe next day.

PVC panels – Low maintenance solution

Are you not worried about the rigorous cleaning and maintenance? Usually there is a team that cleans a dairy parlor two times a day after the milking process. The pipelines, milkers and all equipment are washed with soap and water. The walls and floor are washed every day to ensure hygiene. The walls can get heavily damaged due to washing due to prolonged exposure to moisture. Covering with dairy vinyl panels is a full-proof solution. You can wash the panels several times because no amount of humidity can invade the panels to reach the wall surface inside. The panels do not require any strict or expensive maintenance. We recommend not to use bleaches, acids, abrasives, or harsh cleaning agents.

ASTM-certified PVC boards

Duramax PVC Panels is a renowned company that manufactures PVC panels that are customized to suit various requirements. We are experienced in manufacturing PVC panels for more than 40 years. Our boards are ASTM-certified, CFIA-certified, and FDA-compliant. The vinyl boards are lightweight, have no porosity so they are hassle-free to transport. They have a 1-hour fire-grade and Class-A fire resistivity. Vinyl panels are resistant to chemicals, weather conditions, impacts and abuses. The PVC panels are ½ inch thick, width is 16 inches and the length can vary accordingly.

No growth of mold and mildew

A dairy parlor cannot operate without producing moisture but a little amount of humidity is also good for the livestock. The excess is bad for the health of the animals as well as the dairy parlor interior. PVC sheets are completely waterproof, they do not allow moisture to settle on the walls and ceiling. This keeps the walls and ceiling dry without causing any harm internally. The PVC boards are covered with an antimold covering that prevents the growth of mold and bacteria on the surface of the panels. After you have installed PVC panels, there is no worrying about deposition of humidity on the walls and ceiling.

Panels can last for 100 years

A lot of companies manufacture PVC panels but all do not deliver similar quality panels. Duramax boards are made from 100% virgin vinyl that makes durable and robust panels. FRP sheets have already become obsolete due to the various disadvantages. Discard FRP sheets and switch to vinyl boards for residential and commercial use. PVC panels are installed inside grow rooms, commercial kitchens, fisheries, shipping containers, restaurants, stables, warehouses poultries, laundry and more. Once installed, the panels can last for almost 100 years or more.
