04.01.2016 EHEDH-compliant pigging system

Uresh AG, Biel-Benken, Switzerland, recently supplied a sophisticated double-pigging system to German baby food manufacturer Alete GmbH. The purpose-designed system ensures secure and efficient transfer of the baby food from the processing tank to two filling systems which are operated alternately. The first pig is positioned in front of the pipeline outlet of the used filling system and is held in place without mechanical elements. It prevents unintentional filling of the unused pipeline section and avoids unnecessary material loss and possible quality problems. At the end of production, the valuable residual product is discharged without any loss using the second pig. Subsequently, while the entire system remains enclosed, it is fully automatic, fast and reliably cleaned and disinfected.

 

The commissioned system integrator PAT GmbH & Co. KG installed the system within the planned annual maintenance closedown period. URESH single or double-pigging systems allow gentle and loss-free discharge of products from pipelines. Simultaneously the pipes are pre-cleaned and can be cleansed with minimal use of detergent and water. The availability and efficiency of the system is significantly increased. The design of the pigging system is patented and EHEDG certified (sending station, receiving station and pig). It has been specifically designed to meet the hygiene and quality requirements of the food processing and related process industries. www.uresh.ch
