Section 365 IAC 2-1-7 - Weigh tank; satisfactory mixing efficiency

Authority: IC 15-18-2

Affected: IC 15-18-2-14; IC 15-18-2-15

Sec. 7.

(a) The weigh tank shall be:

(1) of such size and shape as to accomplish complete mixing of all the milk added; and

(2) maintained in a satisfactory mechanical condition, free from dents or bulges which may prevent adequate draining.

The efficiency of the sampling procedure shall be determined by testing samples of the same lot of milk taken from five (5) different locations in the weigh tank. When the tests of these samples differ materially in butterfat content, the mixing efficiency shall be considered to be unsatisfactory.

(b) If the mixing efficiency is not satisfactory, as indicated by results secured in subsection (a), each can of milk must be stirred vigorously with a hand stirrer until the milk is homogeneous before being dumped into the weigh tank.
