Why Pigging systems?
HPS are the leaders in Advanced Liquid Product Recovery – a specialist form of pigging technology. With over 30 years of experience, we help companies significantly improve efficiency, capacity, sustainability, and profitability.
Pigging recovers product that would otherwise be wasted during processing. It’s a proven way to increase yield, reduce downtime, and cut energy, water, and cleaning fluid usage.
High ROI YEAR-ON-YEAR
HPS pigging systems pay for themselves fast, often in just a few months, through product savings alone. And the long-term returns continue year after year.
DESIGNED around your needs
Every system is designed around your specific products, processes, and goals. Whether you’re processing chocolate, soft drinks, paint, pet food, chemicals or cosmetics, HPS has the experience and technology to help.

Benefits of Pigging
Why You Should Consider Pigging Systems
High Return on Investment (ROI)
If you choose an HPS pigging solution, your savings will pay back the initial cost of the system in a few months and increase your profits for many years after that.
Increased Product Yields
Because pigging recovers nearly all residual product in pipelines instead of it being wasted, it significantly increases your product yield.
Sustainability
Pigging cuts waste, reduces water usage, lowers chemicals and related transport and disposal costs, making the environmental benefits of pigging significant.

about pigging
HPS hygienic (sanitary) pigging systems deliver an exceptional return on investment (ROI) by recovering valuable product that would otherwise be lost between batches. What’s typically discarded becomes profit – with most systems paying for themselves in just a few months.
By significantly reducing changeover times (from hours to minutes) pigging boosts productivity while cutting operational costs. It also lowers consumption of energy, water, cleaning fluids, and reduces effluent, driving savings that continue long term.
Pigging helps you meet your sustainability goals by minimising waste and reducing environmental impact.
It also decreases the need for CIP cycles and flushes, lowering contamination risks and improving batch control and process efficiency.
“HPS Pigging Technology reduced our changeover times from around 3 hours to just a few minutes.”
