Abstract

A process and apparatus are disclosed for taking a representative milk sample during the delivery of a milk charge from one container to another. With respect to the errors encountered in operating peristaltic pumps with different speeds of revolution, the invention predetermines a corrected pumping characteristic as a function of an acceptance characteristic and correspondingly controls the taking of samples.
