Recover More Liquid Chocolate from Your Transfer Pipelines
Pigging Systems for Chocolate and Confectionery
Chocolate manufacturers lose valuable product every day when liquid chocolate remains inside transfer pipelines at the end of production batches.
HPS pigging technology recovers liquid chocolate, caramel, creams and compound coatings from pipelines before cleaning begins, helping manufacturers achieve product recovery rates of up to 99.5%.
Installed in chocolate and confectionery factories worldwide, HPS systems help manufacturers:
- Increase product yield
- Reduce waste and washout losses
- Improve lot control
- Speed up changeovers

Where Chocolate Manufacturers Lose Product
At the end of each batch, liquid chocolate and confectionery products remain inside transfer pipelines. This retained product can:
- Increase cleaning time
- Create cross-contamination risks between formulations
- Reduce lot control efficiency
- Result in high-value product being lost
Pigging systems recover product from pipelines before cleaning begins, preserving saleable product that would otherwise be lost.
Designed for Heated and Hygienic Environments
HPS pigging systems are engineered for the specific challenges of chocolate and confectionery processing, including:
- Steam and water jacketed pipelines
- Heat tracing
- High-viscosity products
- Temperature-controlled environments
- Integration into new and existing lines
Our solutions help manufacturers to:
- Achieve recovery rates of up to 99.5%
- Reduce waste and waste-processing costs
- Improve lot control and allergen changeovers
- Minimise downtime in hot rooms
- Reduce labour-intensive washouts
- Increase overall production efficiency
Case Studies
chocolate and confectionery manufacturers trust hps pigging systems
Manufacturers of chocolate, candy, sweets and other confectionery products are recovering major amounts of product using HPS pigging systems.
Our solutions are also helping many manufacturers reduce waste, improve lot control, speed up changeover times and prevent cross-contamination.
Partner with Chocolate Pigging Specialists
Every chocolate and confectionery process presents unique challenges, from high-viscosity products to temperature-controlled transfer lines.
HPS works closely with your engineering and production teams to assess your system and design a pigging solution tailored to your exact manufacturing requirements.
If you’re looking to:
- Recover more high-value product
- Reduce waste in transfer pipelines
- Improve changeover performance
- Increase production efficiency
Our chocolate processing specialists are ready to help.
“We can push all that material to storage rather than leaving it in the pipes. This improves lot control and prevents products from sitting unavailable for extended periods of time.”

Improving Sustainability in Chocolate Production
Reducing product loss in chocolate manufacturing isn’t just good for margins, it’s essential for more sustainable operations.
HPS pigging systems recover high-value product from pipelines before cleaning begins, helping to significantly reduce waste across production lines.
This delivers measurable sustainability benefits:
- Less product sent to waste or reprocessing
- Reduced water usage during cleaning for processes that use water
- Lower energy consumption in wash cycles
- Reduced waste handling and disposal costs
By improving recovery and reducing cleaning demand, pigging supports more efficient, lower-impact chocolate and confectionery production.
