The foam disc, hand launch, criss cross, bare squeegee, swab, and power brush pigs. They range in size from 2 inches up to 60 inches.

What are Polyurethane Foam Pipeline Pigs?

Polyurethane foam pigs are a type of pipeline pig that is made from a flexible and durable polyurethane foam material. They are designed to be inserted into a pipeline and pushed through using the flow of fluid or gas inside the pipeline, acting as a cleaning or maintenance tool. These pigs come in various sizes, shapes, and densities to suit different pipeline needs and applications.

Our Poly Foam Pipeline Pigs

Our foam pigs for pipelines are designed and manufactured with high-quality materials to ensure durability and efficiency. We offer six standard styles of foam pigs, each with its own unique features and advantages.

Hand Launch™ Bi-Directional Pig

This pig is designed for hand launching into a pipeline and can be used in both bi-directional and multi-diameter applications. It is made with a durable polyurethane foam body and comes with various options such as magnets, brushes, and gauging plates.

Foam Disc Pigs

These foam pipe pigs have a simple yet effective design, consisting of a foam disc attached to a steel mandrel. They are used for liquid removal, batching, and general cleaning in pipeline applications. They come in a variety of diameters and densities to fit different pipeline requirements.

Criss Cross Foam Pigs

This pig features a unique criss-cross pattern of bristles attached to a foam body, allowing for more aggressive cleaning in pipelines. It is ideal for removing heavy deposits, wax build-up, and other types of debris.

Swab Pig

As the name suggests, this pig is designed specifically for swabbing pipelines. It has a foam body and removable cups or discs that can be changed out for different applications. The swab pig is commonly used for drying, cleaning, and batching operations.

Bare Squeegee

This foam pipe pig has a simple design, consisting of a foam body and a flexible squeegee blade. It is used for general cleaning and liquid removal in pipelines without causing any damage to the internal coating or lining. The bare squeegee pig is available in various sizes and densities.

Power Brush® Pig

This pig is designed for more aggressive cleaning applications, featuring polyurethane foam discs with wire brushes attached to them. It is commonly used for removing scale, rust, and other hard deposits in pipelines.

  • The Power Brush Pig is an open cell polyurethane foam pig that is completely enclosed with flame hardened steel bristles for maximum action. The polyurethane foam does not touch the pipe wall because it is completely coated with tough brushes, therefore, minimum tensile stress and wear is imposed on the foam. The bristles on this pig clean more efficiently than bristles on other foam pigs.  
    • Sizes 2" - 60"
    • Hardened steel brushes for maximum scraping
