Hygienic pipeline product recovery system

Efficiently recover valuable residuals from pipelines while streamlining your cleaning-in-place processes with this advanced product recovery system, ideal for managing viscous media and high-value formulations.

Recovers and Cleans Pipelines Efficiently

The SteriPig Product Recovery System from INOXPA is designed to revolutionize the recovery and cleaning processes in your pipeline operations. By employing a hygienic PIG—and propelled by compressed air—the system ensures maximum retrieval of residual high-value products, such as pharmaceutical gels and cosmetic creams, minimizing waste and optimizing pipeline cleanliness.

This system is especially beneficial for viscous media, effectively recovering and preparing pipelines for CIP without introducing contaminants. Its ability to handle complex media like ointments and emulsions is notable, positioning it as indispensable for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and even food and beverage industries.

With connections ranging from 1 ½” to 3″ and a hygienic design in accordance with EHEDG specifications, SteriPig offers wide adaptability for various pipeline requirements. Featuring automatic butterfly valves and a control panel for automation, it seamlessly integrates into existing production lines, ensuring continuous, high-speed operations while promoting efficient use of resources.

Constructed from durable materials like AISI 316L and AISI 304 stainless steel, the SteriPig system is available in a range of materials to suit diverse process needs, including options with EPDM and Viton spheres. It adheres to stringent FDA standards, ensuring complete safety and efficiency in sensitive applications.

Furthermore, the system supports customization with various connection types and gasket materials, providing tailored solutions to meet specific operational demands. Designed for minimal maintenance through integrated CIP capabilities, the SteriPig system reduces downtime and enhances the productivity of your production environment.
