The food and beverage industry has the critical task of delivering healthy and nutritious foodstuffs to markets worldwide. Unclean transfer lines can contaminate process media, leading to wasted finished products or, worse, costly recalls.

Improve your food and beverage transfer tubing cleanliness with Inline Services. Our pigging and liquid product recovery equipment reduce waste and streamline cleaning activities, making changeovers quicker while boosting sanitation.

Impacts Of Handling Equipment Contamination 

The tubing used to move food and beverage products from one process to another comes into contact with wet, caustic, and acidic substances. Media left in tubing hurts production efficiency and supports bacteria, which can taint future flowing media and foster foodborne illnesses.

The best way to optimize food and beverage manufacturing performance is by adding pigging capabilities to your pipeline sanitation process. The experts at Inline Services can develop a pigging solution to meet your needs.

What’s Pigging? 

Pigging is the practice of using mechanical devices to perform pipeline or tubing maintenance operations, such as residual liquid recovery, obstruction removal, or surface cleaning. Integrating hygienic or sanitary pigging into food or beverage production processes is very advantageous.

How Does Unclean Tubing Contaminate Food and Beverage Products?

Unclean transfer lines can contaminate process media, leading to wasted finished products or, worse, costly recalls. Media left in tubing hurts production efficiency and supports bacteria that can taint future flowing media.

Why Is Food and Beverage Transfer Tubing Hard to Keep Clean?

Tubing that moves products between processes contacts wet, caustic, and acidic substances. Media left behind supports bacteria, which can taint later batches and foster foodborne illnesses.

What Is Hygienic Pigging in Food and Beverage Production?

Pigging uses mechanical devices for pipeline or tubing maintenance, such as residual liquid recovery, obstruction removal, and surface cleaning. Hygienic or sanitary pigging brings these benefits into food and beverage production.

What Are the Benefits of Pigging in Food and Beverage Plants?

Benefits include high ROI, increased yields, reduced waste, less downtime, increased plant capacity, and faster changeovers. Pigging also lowers water consumption, minimizes contamination risks, and improves efficiency and sustainability.
