Organic Production requires Silclear

Black rubberware constituents that break down during use can taint milk passing through it - we have all seen carbon black rub off on our fingers! Increasing demand for organic milk production in both Europe and the UK means more and more farmers are turning to Silclear as the superior - 'glass like' alternative. The philosophy behind 'organic food production', that 'food should be produced and processed free of chemical residue', means a big future for Silclear silicone.

Unlike black rubberware which chemically breaks down during use, Silclear remains 100% stable - eliminating the possibility of tainting milk as it travels to the bulk delivery tank.

Silclear simply acts like a 'flexible glass', enabling 'pure raw milk' delivery.

Anyone already involved in organic milk supply, or thinking about converting, should seriously consider installing Silclear from teat to tanker. Not only does the material fit in with the philosophy of organic production, it also lasts longer, is more hygienic, (it does not become pitted), and it is more cost effective.

The new regulations brought in by the BGVV, governing the manufacture of rubberware in Europe and the UK, (see Pg1), means Silclear will become even more cost effective as rubberware falls victim to a much shorter life span than exists with current input levels.

Mr Shave, (who has now retired) from Dorset , is an example of one dairy farmer who geared up for Organic production. He readily saw the connection between Organic milk production and Silclear and was aware that every link in the chain of production needed to be the best possible method available.

" I first enquired about Silclear because I'd read it was more hygienic. Then I clicked on that it would fit right in with what I was trying to achieve at the farm - absolutely chemical free milk. I had been preparing for organic production over 18 months or so and used some of my financial grant to kit out the parlour completely with Silclear - milk and pulsation tubing - all the fittings and even the liners.

Silclear went beyond my expectations! The liners meant my heifers did not get bruised teats anymore - the tubing was lovely to use and very easy to keep clean.
