HPS Product Recovery Solutions

Project Spotlight: Cutting Waste & Costs with Pigging A leading pet food manufacturer was losing ￡4M+ annually due to product left in pipelines. Without pigging, they faced: ?Significant Product Loss – 700 kg (3-inch line) & 300 kg (2-inch line) per batch. ?High Water Usage – Excessive flushing required. ?Increased Costs – Labour, waste treatment, and disposal expenses. The Solution HPS installed automated pigging systems to recover valuable meat concentrate and oil, reducing waste and improving efficiency. The Results: ?Maximized Yields – More product recovered, less waste. ? Reduced Costs – Lower ingredient loss, disposal, and labour costs. ? Faster Changeovers – Less downtime, less water, and improved sustainability. HPS Pigging Technology is helping the manufacturer cut waste, save money, and boost efficiency. ??

?? How HPS Pigging Systems Help Beverage Companies Save Water ?? Water is essential in beverage production—but it’s also a finite resource. That’s why many beverage companies are using HPS pigging technology to reduce water usage, improve efficiency, and minimise waste. ? Reduces flush water use – HPS pigs recover up to 99.5% of product before flushing. ? Optimises CIP processes – Less water required for cleaning and sanitation. ? Prevents over-flushing – Automated systems ensure precise water usage. ? Enables water recycling – Dual-pig systems allow rinse water to be reused. Pigging saves water at multiple points in beverage production, including: ? Tanker to holding vessels ? Tanker to process ? Storage vessel to blender ? Blending to bottling lines Companies like Orlando Wines are saving 40 mega litres of water per year with pigging technology. As water conservation becomes increasingly important, solutions like this are playing a key role in sustainability. #Pigging #WaterSaving #BeverageIndustry #Sustainability

Product Spotlight: HPS Piggable Diverter Valves The Solid Seat Ball Valve (SSBV) is a three-way piggable diverter valve commonly used in HPS pigging systems to ensure efficient product flow through transfer lines. It’s also highly effective in non-pigging applications to aid process routing. Here are some key benefits: ? Seamless Product Transfer – Guarantees smooth, uninterrupted product transfer with no pressure loss. ? Flexible & Reliable Control – Provides precise control over product flow, whether in pigging or standalone routing. ? Optimal Pigging Performance – Designed for superior pigging efficiency with a 120° piggable bend, ensuring smooth navigation for HPS pigs. ? Minimal Maintenance – Built for longevity with minimal wear components, and fully disassemblable for easy maintenance and cleaning. ? Robust & Reliable – Engineered for durability and reliability, reducing downtime and ensuring smooth operations. ? Highly Versatile – Perfect for handling viscous products, extreme temperatures, and a variety of processing environments. Whether you’re looking to enhance pigging performance or improve process routing, the HPS Piggable Diverter Valve delivers both flexibility and reliability. #Manufacturing #LiquidProcessing #PiggingSystems #HPS #ProcessEfficiency #PiggableValves

Equipment Ready for Shipment! Several key components from a recent project are now prepped and ready to be dispatched to our customer. ?? See the photo below for a glimpse of some of the components! This project features a 3-inch jacketed transfer pipe designed for the efficient transfer of chocolate to a new storage tank. To maintain product quality and prevent waste, any leftover chocolate must be quickly removed. If not, heat from the jacketed pipe could degrade the chocolate, or cross-contamination could occur when switching between varieties. To address this, HPS has designed a fully automated pigging system that: ? Recovers residual chocolate, reducing waste. ? Prevents cross-contamination, ensuring product integrity. ? Maintains efficiency with temperature-controlled equipment. Another HPS solution on its way—helping our customers achieve higher yields, less waste, and greater efficiency!

Which Pigging Propellant is Right for You? Pigging is an innovative product recovery technology that helps manufacturers reclaim liquid product from pipelines instead of wasting it. But did you know there are multiple ways to propel a pig through a pipeline? The best option depends on your product and process. ? Compressed Air – Cost-effective, widely used, but not suitable for oxygen-sensitive products like wine. ? CO2 – Ideal for oxygen-sensitive liquids (wine, beer, food), though it can be expensive. ? Nitrogen – Common in pharmaceuticals and chemicals, prevents oxidation and microbial growth. ? Water – Enables precise control and reduces water waste in certain applications. ? Product Push – Uses the next batch of product as a propellant, saving time and costs. Choosing the right propellant can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and protect your product quality. #Pigging #Sustainability #Manufacturing #ProductRecovery #HPS

Latest on International Confectionery: HPS Product Recovery Solutions - Use Proven Technology to Boost Your Yields and Cut Waste? By streamlining liquid processes, HPS systems enhance efficiency, minimise waste, and support long-term sustainability in operations Are you facing challenges like high waste, rising production and raw material costs, product solidification, or slow, labour-intensive changeovers? HPS Liquid Product Recovery Technology (also known as ‘pigging systems”) are a proven and highly effective method of tackling these issues head on.? Pigging systems are widely used by chocolate and confectionery manufacturers to recover up to 99.5% of residual product from pipelines, reducing waste and saving costs.

Here are some key components being prepared at our UK head office for an exciting project for a US food manufacturer. The project involves the installation of new transfer pipes, and to minimise waste and optimise efficiency, the manufacturer has chosen to implement HPS Pigging Technology. HPS is supplying essential components that will work seamlessly to recover up to 99.5% of the product at the end of each transfer, significantly reducing waste and improving cleaning efficiency. We’re looking forward to seeing the positive impact of this system on their operations soon! #HPSProductRecovery #PiggingSystems #FoodManufacturing #Sustainability #ProcessEfficiency #WasteReduction

How Pigging Systems Reduce Changeover Times in Liquid Processing. For manufacturers processing liquids or wet products - whether it’s food, beverages, personal care products, or chemicals - frequent product changeovers are a necessary but costly part of production. Every time a line switches from one product to another, cleaning and flushing take time, waste product, and reduce efficiency. Why do changeovers take so long? ??Pipelines must be thoroughly cleaned to prevent cross-contamination ? Large amounts of product are lost during flushing ? Cleaning uses significant water, chemicals, and energy (and take time) ? Equipment downtime slows down production and reduces output How does pigging help? Pigging technology recovers up to 99.5% of residual product from pipelines prior to cleaning and changeovers. This means: ? Less product loss – more sellable product, less waste ? Shorter cleaning times – less water, chemicals, and energy needed ? Faster changeovers – reducing downtime and increasing efficiency ? Higher productivity – more time spent manufacturing, not cleaning One HPS client has cut their changeover times from hours to just minutes, significantly improving output and profitability. #Pigging #ManufacturingEfficiency #LiquidProcessing #HygienicProcessing #Sustainability #FoodAndBeverage #ProcessImprovement

Project Spotlight: Improving Paint Production Efficiency A leading paint manufacturer has expanded production at its US facility with a new manufacturing cell. This upgrade allows them to produce 50+ formulations of water-based architectural paint, categorised into white and non-white. To improve efficiency, paint now flows from four tanks to a single filling machine through a DN100 pipeline. A product transfer manifold was installed to control the flow, and a paint pigging system helps reduce waste, prevent cross-contamination, and speed up changeovers. These upgrades have streamlined operations and increased productivity while maintaining high-quality standards. See a few photos from the project ?? ??
