ADVERTORIAL and configurations to suit unique process requirements. tariffs and economic uncertainties, the need for adaptable, futureproof production systems has never been greater.
Pigging technology is much more than a short-term fix; it’ s a long-term investment that provides consistent savings and improved efficiency over time. With the ability to scale and adapt to changes in production needs, pigging systems help manufacturers stay competitive in a rapidly changing market.
Beyond pigging: Comprehensive liquid transfer optimisation
For manufacturers seeking to maximise efficiency across their liquid processing operations, HPS offers complementary technologies that enhance the value of pigging systems.
Liquid routing manifolds: Precision control for complex processes
Chemical facilities dealing with multiple product formulations benefit from integrated routing solutions that eliminate transfer errors while maintaining product integrity. HPS liquid routing manifolds deliver:
• Better control: Ensure precise routing and reduce the risk of costly errors or misdirected transfers.
• Optimised space: Eliminate the need for multiple dedicated lines or cluttered hose arrangements
• Seamless changeovers: Easily switch between products or lines while minimising crosscontamination.
• Increased efficiency: Maintain continuous production with fast routing and fewer delays
Automatrix: Fully automated valve manifold
The HPS Automatrix is an advanced, fully automated valve manifold that is ideal for hygienic and industrial chemical processes. It enables fully automated selection of sources and destinations, providing a fast, safe and reliable way to route liquids with minimal operator input.
With an exceptionally flexible design, the Automatrix is available in horizontal or vertical formats and is easily expandable as processing needs evolve. It’ s especially well suited to facilities seeking to eliminate manual routing, reduce human error and increase throughput, while maintaining rigorous hygiene standards.
When integrated with HPS pigging technology, the Automatrix maximises product recovery with minimal product loss throughout the transfer process
Rotomatrix: Manual piggable manifold
For a more cost-effective yet highly efficient solution, the HPS Rotomatrix offers a manually operated routing system with full piggability. Its compact, rotating arm design enables quick and reliable source-to-destination connections, with interlocks for safety and process control.
Ideal for facilities making products such as paint, coatings, chemicals and more, the Rotomatrix enables full product recovery while minimising downtime and misrouting risks. It’ s available in a range of sizes
