FOAM PIGS
Foam pigs are a versatile type of pipeline cleaning device. They are used for drying, cleaning, batching, and product removal operations. A few of the industries utilizing foam pigs are the oil and gas, municipality, food and beverage, mining, chemical and petrochemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. Because they are lightweight and flexible, foam pigs are able to negotiate uncommon piping, fittings, and valves. Standard sizes range from 2″ to 60″, with foam density options including light (1-2 lbs/ft3), medium (5-7 lbs/ft3), and heavy (8-10 lbs/ft3) density foam.
Common configurations include bare, criss-cross, wire-brush, plastic bristle, and silicon carbide. With various design options such as double-dish, double-nose, special coating patterns (single-spiral, turning pattern, totally coated, etc.), custom lengths and diameters, pulling/handling ropes or cables, bypass jets, and transmitter cavities. Special configurations can be designed for unique pigging applications. For more technical information, please review the downloadable specification sheets found in our technical data section.
PU COATED PIGS
This medium density foam Pig is fully coated hence provides excellent wear resistance shall be used for long distance wiping or dewatering applications.
FULLY COATED FOAM PIGS
Coated foam pigs are used for regular wiping and general pipeline cleaning. Models are available in light, medium, and heavy density foam. The pigs are constructed from an open-cell polyurethane foam with a durable polyurethane elastomer coating in a variety of patterns with criss-cross being the most common.
BRUSH FOAM PIGS
Wirebrush foam pigs are primarily used for cleaning pipelines with buildup, rust, mill scale, or debris in new construction, and routine maintenance applications. Models are available in light, medium, and heavy density foam. The pigs are constructed from an open-cell polyurethane foam with a durable polyurethane elastomer coating in a criss-cross pattern and embedded with wirebrush straps.
FOAM DISC PIGS
The FDP series of foam disc pigs are an excellent pig for all types of batching and product removal applications. Models are available in medium and heavy density foam. The unique design offers multiple discs for unsurpassed sealing capabilities. Alternate variations of this pig include rear sealing cup, as well as special lengths and diameters for unique applications, including dual-diameter.
BARE FOAM PIGS
Bare foam pigs are primarily used for drying and sweeping of loose debris, gauging of internal pipe conditions prior to extensive pigging, sealing behind a stuck pig, batching operations, and product removal. Models are available in light (1-2 lbs/ft3), medium (5-7 lbs/ft3), and heavy (8-10 lbs/ft3) density foam. The pigs are constructed from an open-cell polyurethane foam with a durable polyurethane elastomer coating on base.
