Increase Yield and Reduce Waste
Pigging Systems for Food Manufacturers
HPS specialises in hygienic (sanitary) pigging systems that help food manufacturers recover more valuable product, reduce waste and improve production efficiency.
From dairy products, sauces and condiments to soups, honey, nut butters and other viscous foods, HPS pigging systems recover valuable product left in pipelines after transfer, helping manufacturers increase yields, reduce cleaning requirements and shorten changeovers.
Whether you’re upgrading an existing production line or developing a new facility, HPS can help identify opportunities to improve product recovery, efficiency and sustainability throughout your food manufacturing process.

Product Loss in Food Processing
Where Food Manufacturers Lose Product
Reduce Product Losses Across Your Food Production Lines.
From dairy products, sauces and condiments to soups, honey and nut butters, valuable food product can remain in pipelines after each transfer. For manufacturers handling high-value ingredients, viscous products or frequent batch changes, these losses can add up over time.
Where Product Losses Occur
Product Transfer Lines
Sauces, dairy products, honey and other food products remaining in pipelines after transfer.
Recipe and Product Changeovers
Residual ingredients and finished products that need to be cleared before switching production runs.
Cleaning and CIP
Valuable food product that may otherwise be flushed away during cleaning.
Product Remaining Between Batches
Residual food product left in process lines that could otherwise contribute to saleable yield.
Recover product before it becomes waste.
HPS pigging systems help recover valuable food product before cleaning and changeovers, increasing yields and reducing the amount of residue left in pipelines.
Food Pigging Solutions
Designed for Food Processing
HPS pigging systems are designed for hygienic food processing, supporting efficient product recovery across a wide range of liquid and viscous food applications.
Whether you’re designing a new production facility or improving an existing processing line, HPS works with your team to assess how pigging technology can be integrated into your process.
Benefits for Food Manufacturers
- Increase product yield and reduce raw material losses
- Accelerate recipe and product changeovers
- Reduce water and CIP chemical consumption
- Minimise cross-contamination risks
- Support hygienic processing and product quality
Applications Across the Food Industry
Dairy Processing
Recover milk-based products, yoghurt, creams and other dairy products from processing pipelines.
Sauces and Condiments
Improve recovery of sauces, dressings, ketchup, mayonnaise and other viscous products.
Soups and Purées
Reduce product remaining in pipelines during transfers and recipe changeovers.
Honey and Nut Butters
Recover valuable, high-viscosity products that can be difficult to remove through conventional flushing.
Reducing Waste and Improving Sustainability in Food Processing
Food manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce product waste, conserve water and improve the environmental efficiency of their operations. HPS pigging systems help address these challenges by recovering valuable food product before cleaning begins.
HPS pigging technology can help food manufacturers improve sustainability by:
- Recovering saleable food product that would otherwise be sent to waste
- Reducing water consumption and rinse requirements
- Lowering CIP chemical consumption
- Reducing wastewater volumes and treatment requirements
- Minimising product disposal and associated waste
By reducing product losses and cleaning demands, HPS pigging systems can help food manufacturers lower operating costs while supporting their sustainability objectives.
