Making good wine is complicated. From the vineyard to the bottle, a winemaker’s touch and the equipment they use can impact quality.
Produce wines enjoyable for generations with support from Inline Services. Our pigging and liquid product recovery equipment maximize product yields from transfer lines while enhancing sanitation.
The primary steps of making wine are harvesting, crushing and pressing, fermentation, clarification, aging, and bottling. Tubing is used to move wine from one process to the next.
During the fluid transfer, wine can be left in the tubing. This hurts production efficiency, supports bacteria growth, and mixes wine batches resulting in wasted product.
The best way to optimize wine production is by adding pigging to your tubing sanitation process. The experts at Inline Services can design a pigging solution to suit your wine transfer setup.
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 your winery’s processes is very advantageous.

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.
