A separating device ( ) is arranged at the ends of a milk line ( ) and a test milk line ( ), said milk lines being parallel. The separating device is designed with a damper means ( ) attached to a cup ( ). When milk is fed through the outlet ( ), the cup ( ) is filled up and its weight pivots the separating device from a first position, in which the inlet to a milk line ( ) is closed by means of the damper mean, to a second position, in which the milk in cup is poured into a test milk line ( ) and the damper means is lifted off the inlet ( ) to the milk line ( ).
