Project Brief: |
Canning Line 6 (150ml cans) transfers concentrated syrup
from any one of four supply tanks. The design incorporated
Pigging from the last tank passed all other tanks to
accommodate the flexibility of using any one of the four tanks
to serve the line. The syrup is pigged into a balance tank .
The Pig operates in conjunction with level sensors. During the
CIP and Sterilizations all Pigging system product contact
surfaces are cleaned as part of the cycle. The final rinse
water is Pigged out of the line in order that the next syrup
is transferred to the balance tank without any chance of
dilution. This success has led to systems on Lines 5 & 1
being ordered and commissioned with further systems envisaged,
including the Sugar lines |
|
Why HPS?: |
Previously, Coca Cola had another pigging system installed.
In three years this had failed to operate for any length of
time.
HPS were able to offer guarantees in terms of
reliability, Pig life and percentage recovery |
|
Performance: |
These systems are well on their way to a short payback time
on capital by the accrual of the following benefits: ·
Increased yield – 2% increase · Reduced effluent – product is
packaged not lost to drain · Faster Changeovers – no waiting
for product to drain · Improved Product integrity – CIP water
does not come into contact with product at start up |

Project Brief: |
This 6 inch seven pig system was used to
separate different types of CIP chemicals in a 5000 ft
pipeline and was the first pigging system that used
seven pigs in the line at one time. Instead
of flushing the entire line with
chemicals, pigs are used to separate each
chemical. The pigging process currently
is 500L of a chemical followed by 500L of
a water flush which are separated by pigs,
this process is repeated for a couple different
chemicals. |
|
Why HPS?: |
HPS had worked with this company in other areas of
business with great success. HPS was able to
provide a cost savings solution with the seven pig
system. |
|
Performance: |
The seven pig system works with great success and
will provide a nice cost savings from
the much reduced amount of chemicals needed to
clean the line. In this situation the customer
saved 10,000 dollars per CIP in cleaning
chemicals.

Project Brief: |
HPS are required to get involved at ground level in Global
Projects that require pigging. As part of their global
standard certain installations must have HPS systems
installed. |
|
Why HPS?: |
Over the last 8 years HPS have supplied this customer with
Pigging Systems that have demonstrated high reliability, long
Pig life, product recovery greater that 99.8% with all systems
validated before commissioning |
|
Performance: |
Actual reliability figures for the systems have been
calculated at 99.9%

Project Brief: |
1 x 2" - Single Pigging System with the ability to
pig emulsion to a Chiller at very low pressure ensuring
an average flow rate at the Chiller of 44Kg/min. This
flow rate is critical to get the correct spread of the
product on the paper. The emulsion transfer line to the
Chiller is approx. 120 meters long with a line hold-up
volume of approx. 230kg of a very expensive coating. The
line was previously blown out with air; this resulted in
the recovery of a nominal amount of the product with the
balance being lost and becoming a high volume of
effluent. |
|
Why HPS?: |
2 x Systems already ordered by Kodak Limited, UK.
Quick and efficient response to requirements and
delivery. Ability to pig at low pressures, ensuring the
critical flow rate. Ability of HPS Pig to negotiate 1.5D
bends. The unique construction of the HPS Pig The HPS
Pig was proven, using laboratory tests, to be compatible
with product especially in terms of no photosynthetic
reaction. |
|
Performance: |
Since the installation of the HPS system the losses
are virtually zero. A major advantage of the HPS system
is that the Patented HPS Pig can be automatically
returned down a dry pipeline. This has led to further
orders in different departments and establishment of HPS
as an approved supplier of Pigging Systems

Project Brief: |
Original brief in 1996 was to design and install automatic
routing valves from Storage Tanks to pumps. This covered Ten
Storage Tanks to Five Production Lines to pumps. After the
pumps HPS Pigging Systems were fitted to each of the Five 2"
Filling Lines with various types of Fillers. 1999 and 2001
brought a requirement to upgrade two of the 2" lines to 3" to
meet with sales demand, new filling machines and more viscous
products |
|
Why HPS?: |
Even back in 1996 HPS was identified as the leading
supplier of hygienic pigging systems to the Beauty Care
Sector. Pigging Trials established the potential cost savings
in product, effleuent and changeover times. These were all
exceeded by the actual systems which gave a capital pay back
of less than ONE YEAR!! |
|
Performance: |
The HPS Systems have been shown to have the best
reliability, best recovery and best Pig Life of any systems in
the Group. |

Project
Brief: |
To install a reliable, efficient,
Pigging System where the HPS Pig would act as an interface
between different products. The HPS Pig is automatically
inserted into the line at the changeover. The new product
pushes the pig which pushes the previous product. After
running some 500m the HPS Pig is detected, on the move, by the
HPS Detector. Receiving tanks are switched and the HPS Pig is
automatically removed from the line |
|
Why
HPS?: |
The need to run through standard 5²
seamed, schedule 10 stainless steel pipe AND have reliable
detection of a moving Pig, through the wall of the pipe, was
paramount. HPS’s patented, magnetic soft silicon inner ensures
that the magnetic field is always at the surface of the Pig no
matter what diameter. The specifically design HPS Detector
ensures that the Pig’s magnetic field will always be sensed
even if the HPS Pig is moving |
|
Performance: |
Having previously used the "Oil
Industry" dumbbell type pigging systems, the customer was
delighted at the HPS System's performance, recovery rates and
reliability. They have asked HPS to design another more
complicated system

Project
Brief: |
This was a “Green Field” project
where a number of material transfers had to be
accomplished, at up to 100°C, through the same
pipelines. Raw materials are taken from a number of
tanks, routed through HPS Piggable Valve Matrixes (as
seen above), to three distribution lines In total there
are some 17 Launch Systems, serving 13 Receive Systems,
interconnected with 10 HPS 120° Divert Valves, from 3 x
3" HPS Piggable Matrixes operating at up to 100°C in
both Safe and Zone 1 environments |
|
Why
HPS?: |
HPS had demonstrated at the Croda
Goole (UK) plant that the systems operated reliably at
high temperature (95°C), in thin wall tube through
standard 11/2D bends |
|
Performance: |
The success of this installation
has led to further orders being placed for HPS systems
across the world |

Project
Brief: |
This was a new 4 inch ‘wet’ line
for the transfer of a very viscous meat from the grinder
to storage vessels. HPS had to supply a captive Pigging
system that would push the product from the grinder to
any one of 4 storage vessels. There was an initial
vertical rise of around 5 meters that the HPS Pig was
required to push the product through. |
|
Why
HPS?: |
Good experience of previously
installed systems.Good hygienic system
design.Material & Construction of the HPS Pig
was suitable for Pedigree products.Reliable
detection of the Pig |
|
Performance: |
This company had previously used
the "Oil Industry" dumbbell type pigging systems They
found HPS to have more reliable detection, lower
operating pressures and better performance in standard
thin wall pipe with standard 11/2D
bends | |
