High standards of pipeline hygiene and cleanliness is crucial for companies that manufacture food or beverages intended for human consumption.
In food and beverage processing, this can be the raw ingredients through to the finished products, for example soups and sauces. To obtain clean conditions between food or beverage variations (i.e. batch runs), the pipelines need to be flushed out, disinfected and/or sterilised before use, this avoids cross contamination.
For example, in a fruit juice line that may run for a 1000m, then product removal can be costly, use a lot of water and also require a level of product re-processing.

Food & Beverage pipeline cleaning enquiries.
Product Removal
Use a gel pig and/or viscous gel as it removes residual product in the pipe. The process itself is extremely quick, efficient and allows for the product to be returned to its original source or reduces any contamination or dilution after water flushing.
Benefit: a viscous gel will always be 'full bore' as it adapts to any diameter changes within the pipeline system.
Product Separation
Use in batching processes to reduce and/or eliminate product contamination within pipeline systems.
Use a gel to separate the products, during transit across the process plant. With the use of an online instrument the gel is then automatically diverted to a 'waste tank' for disposal, saving time and money reprocessing contaminated product.
A small gel manufacturing kit can be added to any processing plant, allowing for continual cleaning regimes.

Gel Application's that can access complex geometries
Benefits
- Used in complex geometries within pipe systems, including obstructions, bends, instrumentation.
- System to be used multiple times per day
- Meet regulatory requirements for use in food products
- Simple methods to introduce and remove gels from pipe systems
- Utilise local manufacturing and disposal on site
Operational Ranges
The gel can be formulated to work with foods or juices with multiple variations such as pH, temperature, acidity, stability & degradation attributes, flow rates and pressures.
Product testing
We recommend compatability testing with your products and we advise trialling the use of gels before using in day to day operations. We have a range of gel pigs and viscous gels.
Understanding the application is key to developing the correct product for your business.
