The Servinox pigging system is designed to fit perfectly into transfer lines and to recover the residual mass in the pipe by use of a pig. The pig is positioned upstream of the area to be evacuated and propelled through the pipe by a propellant fluid (gas or liquid).
The standard equipment consists of an in-line launching station, a receiving station and a pig. It can be supplemented by full-flow multi-way valves which allow the lines to be adapted to optimise the pigging phases. Pigging can be controlled either manually or automatically using a pig speed control unit.
Benefits
- Reduced product losses (recovery greater than 99.5 %)
- Pigging of all products conveyed in a pipe (viscous, laden, solidifying, etc.)
- Greater flexibility in the use of lines by reducing the risk of cross-contamination
- Elimination of the dilution phenomenon induced by water pushing without a pig
- Reduction in the volume of effluent to be treated
- Reduced consumption of cleaning agents and washing cycles
- Reduced operating costs and return on investment from the first year of use
- Tailor-made system to suit all requirements and constraints
Applications
- Pigging on transfer lines for all types of liquids
- This equipment is particularly suitable for lines dispensing viscous, laden and/or solidifying liquids (creams, chocolate, caramel, etc.).
