Industrial Direct is a leading pipeline pig manufacturer and Pipeline pigging contracting company in South Africa with a good share of exports. We manufacture various pipeline pigging products and pigging spares which help in cleaning pipelines in various industries.
Pipeline pigging refers to the practice of using products called “PIGS”
Perform various cleaning, maintenance, inspection, dimensioning, process and pipeline testing operations on new and existing pipelines.
The pigs can be made of different materials like Polyurethane, Neoprene, Rubber, etc. And
Configurations like Open Cell Foam, Cast Solid, Polyurethane Cups, and Discs mounted on Solid Steel Mandrels.
What is Pigging?
The pigging process is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, and food processing, where pipeline cleanliness and maintenance are critical to the safe and efficient operation of the system. Pipeline pigging is a process that involves using a cylindrical device called a "pig" to clean and maintain pipelines that transport fluids or gases. The pig is inserted into the pipeline and pushed through by the pressure of the fluid or gas flow. Pigging can help prevent pipeline corrosion, reduce downtime and maintenance costs, and improve product quality by removing contaminants from the pipeline.
