With a range of silicone milk tubing products, Saint-Gobain offers the materials expertise to meet the needs of dairy farmers everywhere. Choosing the right raw milk transfer tubing with benefits that include kink resistance, tear resistance, milk fat absorption resistance, and cold flexibility can help to safeguard milk processing equipment.
The principle of machine milking is to extract milk from a cow by vacuum. The machines are designed to apply a constant vacuum to the end of the teat to suck out the milk and transfer it to a suitable container. While the principle of the milking machine is the same regardless of the location of the farm, the environmental conditions the milk tubing is exposed to differs from northern to southern climates and so tubing attributes such as cold flexibility are important.
