Hardness testing of milking hoses

Hardness testing of milking hoses

Many of the milking machines used in modern farms are equipped with milking hoses made of soft PVC. Because they come into direct contact with food, these hoses are subject to the highest requirements in terms of their technical properties. They are "physiologically harmless", kink-resistant, transparent and very easy to clean with steam sterilization. For this reason, the hoses should be continuously checked for their smooth surface and hardness during production. A Shore hardness tester is used for this purpose. A safe and practical type of control that is essential and guarantees a flawless product
