    Tuchenhagen's product recovery systems use pigs to push valuable products out of pipes up to 99% recovery, reducing losses, downtime, and waste. The systems include a pig cleaning station that holds and transfers pigs bidirectionally during production and cleaning. Pigs are flexible bodies that safely clean entire pipe surfaces. Applications include food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.

    up to 99% recovery of valuable products

    Using Tuchenhagen

    Product Recovery Systems .


    . . .you regain valuable products from your pipe sytem and thus optimise the economic efficiency of your production plant. Residual products are expelled from the pipes and returned into the product flow by pigging. No more than a thin residual film remains in the pipe system that can easily be removed by subsequent cleaning (CIP). This technique reduces also the waste water load drastically.

    Advantages using Product Recovery Sytems: Reduced loss of valuable products Reduced production down times Reduced consumption of rinsing water Reduced consumption of cleaning media Reduced waste water load

    Applications 1. Product push-outs Product recovery systems are used whenever viscous products are expelled from pipe systems without the risk of intermixing with other media. This is especially required for high quality products in industries from food and beverages through to pharmaceuticals and cosmetics.

    2. Product handling In addition to their primary application, Product Recovery Systems are also used for gentle filling of process pipework systems for sensitive products and products liable to foam. This is especially useful when filling vertical piperuns downwards where the pig is launched in front of the product.

    Range of application in production plants from product reception to pre-mix tanks from pre-mix tanks to mixing/process tanks from mixing/process tanks to storage tanks from storage tanks to filler lines from treatment lines to storage tanks/filler lines

    Applicable for Products as: Shampoos, lotions, creams, toothpaste Pharmaceutical liquid products Washing agents, cleaning agents, Yoghurt, quark, cheese Fruit pulp, syrup, concentrates Dough, vegetable oil Personal products Internal medicines

    Pig cleaning station The pocket-free design of the pig cleaning station is suitable for CIP and SIP. It is integrated into the product pipework and can be used either

    as a launching or receiving station. Product or CIP solutions are transferred in either direction past the pig which is firmly held in the unit. through the station. The sta-

    tion is designed so that the cross sectional area around the pig is the same as the pipework.

    Product storage tank Pig driving medium

    Pig The pig is an inert flexible body made from wear and temperature resistant, product compatible material. Its contours allow safe cleaning of the entire surface; its shape ensures an optimal passage through small and large pipe bends and tees.

    Pig cleaning station Pig catching pipe

    Standard Product Recovery System The key components of a standard Product recovery system are the pig catching pipe, the pig cleaning station and the pig itself. The pig catching pipe is used for receiving the pig after product push-out. During production and cleaning, the pig is firmly held in the pig cleaning station. The pig stations can be easily installed and integrated into existing pipework systems.
