Benefits of Type-U Pigs

Ideal for product recovery in industrial applications with a mildly aggressive product formulation, HPS Type-U Pigs are made from a highly fluorinated material, creating a higher resistance to swelling over a wide range of products.

Type-U Pigs also have a typical recovery efficiency of up to 99.5% from full pipelines. With an unrivalled design, they can travel around 1.5D bends while maintaining full product recovery rates.

No Product Bypass

The unique design of HPS pigs prevents product bypasses by maintaining full body contact, even around 1.5D bends. The pig also contains no fins, caps, or assembled pieces that can break or harbour product.

Increased Resistance

The HPS Type-U Pig uses a specialist material that gives improved resistance to swelling caused by chemical products.

Durable Process Pigs

The HPS Type-U Pig is available in a wide range of sizes.

Designed with increased product resistance to prevent swelling prior to and during pigging operations, the pigs have a highly fluorinated body, a long life expectancy, and they can also be steam cleaned up to 250°C without degradation.

The Type-U Pig is primarily used with chemical-based products, such as anode slurries, varnishes, and solvent-based paints. Additionally, the Type-U Pig can also be used in applications with aggressive CIP cleaning agents.
