Pigging systems = hygienic product transfer

In the food and chemical industries, pigging systems are becoming a cornerstone of process efficiency.🎯

Raw material losses in pipelines, the need to dispose of residues and the extra cost of cleaning processes are financial and environmental costs often treated as unavoidable, yet they are clearly worth eliminating.

System pigging means that product is pushed out of the pipeline using a special element, commonly called a pig. This makes it possible to “recover” product that is still fit for the process. Without pigging, product that cannot be pumped or pushed out of the pipeline is “lost” together with the cleaning medium, for example when the installation is cleaned and the rinse water goes down the drain, which in practice generates a loss and waste. You can see a pig in one of the photos 😊

OK, we know we’re showing off our know-how a bit, but there’s no hiding that we already have several projects of this kind under our belt. We also make a point of regularly expanding our knowledge and attending training sessions with experts in the field, such as the recent one with Optiflow. Sharing experience and being able to check the components of the whole system hands-on really pays off 🙂 It was also great fun to test ourselves in a team competition, taking a valve apart and putting it back together against the clock.
