Efficiently Recover Your Valuable Product

The APV® Ultra Clean Pigging System is based on SPX FLOW’s award-winning pigging technology and designed to provide efficient and ultra clean product recovery in manufacturing lines for fresh and fermented products. From milk and vegetable creams, yogurt and desserts to plant-based alternatives, ice cream mix and even some types of personal care products, our scraping system is a sustainable, breakthrough innovation.

This system minimizes product loss and enhances cleaning-in-place (CIP) processes, leading to improved production efficiency and sustainability. The Ultra Clean Pigging System adheres to the world’s highest hygienic standards with CE marked, FDA, and EU food contact certified materials. The system can be fitted or retrofitted to any existing system for maximum flexibility. Our pigging technology saves more of your high-value product by reducing product loss through a quicker cleaning process and more uptime. Reducing CIP also helps minimize chemical and water usage.

Highest Hygienic Standards for High Food Safety

The Ultra Clean Pigging System is performed under permanent positive pressure which produces a hygienic process while also providing control of the sanitary state by returning the pig in ultra clean conditions for multiple uses.

Benefits:

• High Product Recovery: Provides up to a 70%* reduction in product loss compared to hygienic cleaning systems without the APV pigging system and optimizes recovery before Cleaning-in-Place (CIP), resulting in more uptime with less CIP.
• Enhanced Hygiene: No product bypass; electropolished housings for enhanced cleanability; precise pressure control.
• Increased uptime: Due to faster cleaning methods, it provides more runtime compared to food processing plants without the APV pigging system.
• Certified Materials: CE marked, FDA and EU food contact certified materials.
• Sustainable Design: Minimizes water and CIP chemical usage by up to 70% * due to less product soil to be washed out of the pipes.
• Easy to use and maintain: It can be retrofitted into existing systems and is optimized for maintenance using SPX FLOW spare parts, simplifying maintenance and operation.

*Figures are contingent on actual running conditions within the plant.
