Tube Silicone Forster per meter

Silicone Drink Dispenser Tubing (8.0 x 3.0 mm)

Part Number: 99434 | Item Code: 814004 | Sold per Meter

Optimize the internal milk delivery system of your automated calf feeder with this High-Grade Silicone Tubing. Specifically engineered for the internal components of Förster-Technik and Lely Calm systems, this 8.0 x 3.0 mm tubing is designed for the critical connections from the mixer cup to the valve and from the cup to the pump.

Silicone is the preferred material for these internal lines due to its exceptional flexibility and thermal stability. In the high-cycle environment of an automated feeder, these hoses must withstand constant pulsing and temperature shifts without losing their shape or sealing integrity. Using the correct silicone specifications ensures your feeder maintains accurate dosing and reliable milk transport.

Features & Benefits

• Superior Flexibility: The 3.0mm wall thickness provides excellent kink resistance, ensuring uninterrupted flow even in the tight confines of the feeder's internal housing.
• Thermal Stability: Maintains its elasticity and sealing properties across a wide temperature range, from cold rinse water to warm milk replacer.
• Hygienic Surface: The smooth internal bore of the silicone minimizes milk fat and protein adhesion, supporting the effectiveness of your automated wash cycles.
• Precision Fit: Specifically sized at 8.0mm OD x 3.0mm ID to match the barbed fittings on Förster mixer cups, pumps, and solenoid valves.
• Customizable Length: Sold per meter, allowing you to replace specific internal segments or overhaul the entire machine.

Maintenance Tip

The typical requirement for a full internal service is approximately 40 centimeters per machine. However, we recommend measuring your existing internal lines to account for any specific routing in your setup. These silicone lines are "wear parts" and should be inspected during every major service for signs of softening or permanent staining. Replacing these lines regularly prevents "air draws" into the pump, which can cause inconsistent mixing and feeding errors.
