CPC v2.1 Code: 44131

About milking machines

cpc code 44131 covers the production and distribution of milking machines, a critical component of the dairy industry. Milking machines play a vital role in the efficient and hygienic collection of milk from dairy cows, enabling large-scale milk production to meet the growing global demand for dairy products. This industry is a key contributor to the agricultural sector and the broader food processing economy.

Production process

The production of milking machines involves several key steps. First, the main components such as the vacuum pump, pulsator, and milk collection system are manufactured using specialized machinery and precision engineering. These components are then assembled into a complete milking unit, often with customizable features to suit the needs of different dairy farms. Quality control and testing procedures are crucial to ensure the machines meet industry standards for performance, safety, and durability.

Production inputs

The milking machine industry relies on a range of inputs, including metal alloys for the structural components, rubber and plastics for hoses and gaskets, and electronic components for the control systems. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines and welding tools, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry requires a skilled workforce with expertise in mechanical engineering, electrical systems, and dairy farming operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of the milking machine industry is, of course, the milking machines themselves. These machines are then sold to 01410 Dairy farming operations, as well as 10510 Dairy product manufacturing facilities that require efficient milk collection systems. The milking machines produced under cpc code 44131 are a crucial link in the dairy supply chain, enabling the production and processing of 10510 Dairy products for consumption.
