Sanitary pigging system for viscous food products
In the food processing industry, transferring viscous products such as chocolates, marmelades, and confectionary creams often leaves substantial residue in pipelines. This product wastage can be costly, especially when dealing with high-value items. Optimizing product recovery is crucial to maximize efficiency and savings.
Recover residual product from pipelines
The SilPig Product Recovery System by INOXPA is designed for efficient recovery of residual products from pipelines. Utilizing a sphere or ‘pig,’ the system propels this device through the pipelines using a propellant, typically compressed air. The pig effectively scrapes the inner surfaces, collecting any remaining product and transporting it to a receiver. Once the product recovery is complete, the system seamlessly transitions to a cleaning-in-place (CIP) mode, allowing both the pig and the pipeline to be cleaned without manual intervention. The system is compatible with various pipeline connections and can handle different gasket and sphere materials, providing flexibility for specific process requirements.
