A Pigging System is a technology that uses a specialized elastic scraper called a “Pig” to remove, push, and recover residual media inside pipelines. This system is not only used for pipeline cleaning but also for the recovery and transfer of fluid products within pipelines. In the paint and coating industry, the system effectively cleans the remaining raw materials inside the pipeline, ensuring no cross-contamination between batches and enhancing product quality and production efficiency.
1. What Are the Components of a Pigging System?
1. Pigs: One or more elastic projectiles (Pigs) slightly larger in diameter than the pipe conveying the liquid, which fit tightly to the pipe wall for efficient scraping.
2. Launch/Receive/Middle Station: A station for the loading, launching, and retrieval of pigs.
3. Control System and Specialized Valves: Ensure the automation and safety control of the pigging process.
2. Pain Points and Needs in the Paint and Coating Industry
In a certain paint and coating manufacturing process, residual materials from the previous batch often remain inside the pipeline, leading to inconsistent mixing between batches, noticeable color differences, and even slight contamination. This not only affects product quality but also causes raw material waste and increases production costs.
The company has high standards for pipeline cleaning, requiring both hygienic conditions and the assurance of high-quality, efficient, and reliable pigging operations.
3. Pigging System Solutions for the Paint and Coating Industry
To address the problems and characteristics of the coating industry, BJVP has developed a specialized solution for paint and coating production. This system has been optimized to meet industry needs, ensuring efficient cleaning of the pipeline and significantly reducing the use of cleaning fluids, making shared pipelines feasible. It satisfies the company’s strict hygiene and product quality requirements.
The following is a demonstration of BJVP’s black and white paint pigging system, with pipeline cleanliness reaching nearly 100%.
4. Advantages of Using a Pigging System in the Paint and Coating Industry
1. Pipeline Cleaning: The pigging system efficiently removes residual paint from the pipeline, preventing cross-contamination of different colors or batches, ensuring consistent product color and formula accuracy. 2. Product Recovery: The system not only cleans the pipeline but also recovers leftover materials or transfers them to the next process, reducing raw material waste and improving production efficiency. 3. Automated Operation: The pigging system operates fully automatically via the control system, without the need for additional sealing boxes or booster lubrication systems. With fewer wear parts, maintenance is simple and reliable, significantly reducing labor intensity and minimizing safety risks.
In modern paint and coating production, the pigging system has become a critical technology for ensuring product quality, reducing costs, increasing production efficiency, and improving operational safety. BJVP’s paint and coating pigging system provides efficient, intelligent fluid automation solutions with mature technology, reliable performance, and high automation levels.
