Components and equipment are designed considering hygienic requirements for a cleaning procedure without any residuals.A pigging system especially designed for these requirements can drastically reduce the cleaning process periods. The pigging sequence is often done within a few minutes, so that complete product utilisation in the pipeline is facilitated. This leads to cost savings through product loss reduction and a quick re-availability of the equipment after short pigging / CIP sequences.
