Product type / Viscosity	Typical recovery during purging	Residual in pipe	Remarks
Very low viscosity (e.g. water, alcohol)	50–60%	40–50%	Higher flow effects, but little separation; much film remains
Medium viscosity (e.g. oils, syrups)	30–50%	50–70%	Significant adhesion; air/N₂ wedge pushes product only incompletely
High viscosity (e.g. chocolate, cream, pastes)	20–40%	60–80%	Media remain strongly adhesive; purging extremely inefficient
Foaming products	20–40%	60–80%	Foam prevents effective emptying
Products containing particles	20–40%	60–80%	Solids also settle
