Sanitary pigging system for viscous food products

Efficiently recover high-value viscous products like chocolates and creams from pipelines while minimizing waste and reducing cleaning costs with a specialized sanitary pigging system.

Recovers and Cleans Viscous Products in Pipelines

The SilPig Product Recovery System from INOXPA is a hygiene-centric pigging solution designed to efficiently recover valuable viscous media, such as chocolates and creams, from pipelines across food and cosmetic industries. This system’s working principle involves propelling a silicone sphere through pipelines using compressed air, effectively removing residual products and preparing the system for CIP cleaning, thus maximizing both product yield and pipeline hygiene. The system is primarily used for products like chocolate bars, fruit preserves, and moisturizing creams, significantly reducing product loss. Available in material options like AISI 316L stainless steel for high corrosion resistance, it operates with diverse levels of automation and integrates seamlessly into existing production lines. The standard size range is from DN40 to DN80, and it supports both manual and automated operations. It is compliant with industry standards, maintaining high sanitary conditions ideal for sensitive applications. Customizations include various connection types and gasket materials, ensuring a fit for various processing needs.
