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.
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.
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.
Inline Services is a leading manufacturer of pigging devices and product recovery systems for demanding industrial applications. From design and manufacture to implementation and upkeep, we deliver easy-to-use and effective liquid transfer solutions tailored to your application.

Simple Pigging System with Drop-Out
Simple Pigging System Closure
This animation demonstrates a simple pigging system closure. Inline’s VIPRS pig is positioned in the launcher as the product is run through the pipeline. At the end of the product run, the VIPRS pig is launched to remove all product from the line. The pig will trigger the indicator to alert that the pig has reached the end of the line.
Bi-Directional Pigging
This animation demonstrates Bi Directional Pigging. Inline’s VIPRS pig positioned in the launcher as product is run through the pipeline. At the end of the product run, the VIPRS pig is launched to remove all product from the line. When the VIPRS pig reaches the JB receiver, the propelling media is turned-off. When this happens the VIPRS pig is resting at the jail bar in the JB receiver; propellant is used on the receiver side of the pig to return it to the launcher.
Automated CIP System
This animation demonstrates a fully automated VIPRS bi directional pigging process system with CIP. Inline’s VIPRS pig is first positioned in the pig launcher. The product is pumped from the storage tank to the destination. The VIPRS pig is then launched to push the remaining product to the destination and captured in the VIPRS wash chamber at the destination station. Next, the CIP solution is pumped through the line to wash the chamber and pig. Finally, the pig pushes the CIP solution out of the piping and leaving the pig clean and ready for the next product run.
