Pipeline cleaning pig

for the food industry

Almost all filling and pumping systems can be optimised with the I.S.T. pig. Even the most complicated pipework can be fully automated with the I.S.T. pigging system, even those in which more than 50 different substances must be transported over long distances. As a result operation is considerably more cost-effective, safe and efficient. Of course the best idea is to choose an I.S.T. pigging system right from the start when you are planning a new filling and pumping system. However, existing systems can be converted into pigging systems at any time, and consequently greatly improved. The decisive factors for retrofitting are pipework layout and the quality of the pipes' inner surface. Which I.S.T. pigging system is the right one for you depends on the type of work you need it for. How many and what kind of products do you want to convey? What level of cleaning do you expect? What is the limit of your investment expenditure? Just a few questions which need to be answered before planning begins. Whatever the final result, it will definitely be a customised one, and the optimum solution for your needs. The pigs are loaded into the system whenever necessary and then removed. The system works on a oneway principle. Recommended for work such as loading ships or for long distance pipelines. The pigs remain in the system for their entire operational life and do not need to be constantly loaded and then unloaded from the pipe. After travelling through the system they are registered at the receiving station. They are then pushed back into the launching station, e.g. with air or nitrogen, they remain there until the next pumping operation.
