Inline Services manufactures many styles and sizes of polyurethane foam pigs for pipelines. There are six standard styles of foam pipeline pigs Inline offers. 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. These pigs are used for liquid removal, drying, sweeping, general cleaning, and batching. Foam pipe pigs are our most popular style of pig since they are very cost effective and versatile.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
