HPS is the world’s leading specialist in advanced liquid product recovery (‘pigging’) technology and liquid transfer systems for the process and hygiene industries.

Our innovative technology increases yields, cuts waste, speeds up changeovers, improves environmental sustainability and saves time and money. By saving product instead of wasting it, HPS pigging systems have a rapid payback period and give a high return on investment year-on-year.

It also delivers further gains from improved operational efficiency, faster changeovers, and lower waste disposal costs.

How It Works

HPS pigging technology works by propelling a specially designed projectile (the pig) through pipelines. This recovers up to 99.5% of the residual product that would usually be flushed to waste when used in full pipelines.

This recovered product is perfectly usable, so it can be processed, packed or sold.

Exactly how much this is in terms of value depends on several factors, such as pipe length, internal pipe diameter, and product cost, but it’s nearly always significant.

Unique Pig Design

The unique design of HPS pigs mean they are the benchmark of the industry. They’re bi-directional, and fully detectable, allowing full process automation.

With a flexible magnetised core, rather than solid magnets which can shatter or break, and a no-fins profile, which can allow product bypass and sometimes bend or tear, HPS pigs can travel around 1.5D bends while still maintaining full-body contact.

Process a Liquid? HPS Can Pig It!

HPS are the leaders in the industry. We employ only the very best people, with the right skills, attitudes and experience.

Pigging is a specialist technology, and HPS use only the highest-quality equipment that is suitable for use in existing and new plants. So, as well as the right equipment, it also needs the right experience to design, implement and set up successfully.

We’ve deployed thousands of pigging solutions throughout the world.

We work with most of the best-known brand names and supply systems for foods and beverages, personal care products, pet food, homecare, paints, coatings and many other liquids.
