IUS Pigging Systems offers fully hygienic and customized pigging systems for food industry applications, designed to recover product, maintain sanitation standards, and increase production efficiency. Our systems are ideal for food manufacturers dealing with liquids, semi-solids, pastes, sauces, syrups, and more.
Built with food-grade materials and compliant with international hygiene standards, our pigging solutions help reduce waste, minimize product loss, prevent cross-contamination, and shorten CIP (clean-in-place) cycles—without compromising on safety or taste.
From small food producers to large-scale processing plants, our end-to-end solutions—design, installation, and support—ensure your pigging system for the food industry delivers long-lasting performance and compliance with food safety regulations.
Choose IUS for clean, efficient, and cost-saving pigging systems that power food manufacturing forward.
1. High Product Recovery
Pigging systems recover up to 99.5% of food product from pipelines, reducing waste and increasing yield—especially useful for viscous products like sauces, syrups, pastes, and dairy.
2. Faster Product Changeovers
By efficiently clearing pipelines, pigging enables quicker changeovers between recipes or batches, minimizing downtime and boosting productivity.
3. Enhanced Hygiene and Safety
Pigging reduces the risk of cross-contamination and microbial growth, ensuring safer production and compliance with food safety standards like HACCP, FDA, and FSSAI.
4. Lower Cleaning Costs
Since most of the product is pushed out before cleaning, there’s less water and cleaning solution needed, reducing cleaning-in-place (CIP) time and operational costs.
5. Improved Sustainability
Pigging systems support eco-friendly operations by minimizing product waste, reducing water and chemical use, and lowering energy consumption.
Common and approved preservatives include sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, sorbic acid, citric acid, and calcium propionate—all regulated under food safety authorities.
Through HACCP planning, GMP protocols, sanitation schedules, equipment maintenance, and routine microbiological testing for pathogens.
Yes—provided the entire supply chain complies with organic certification standards and processing facilities are certified by authorities like USDA Organic or equivalent bodies.
Food-grade lubricants (NSF H1/ISO 21469 certified) are non-toxic, safe for incidental food contact, and vital to prevent contamination in machinery used for food processing.
Using pigging for food industry pipelines—where a specialized “pig” cleans and removes residual product between batches—significantly enhances hygiene and reduces contamination risk. By efficiently cleaning piping systems, this tech helps maintain product purity, which contributes to extended shelf life.
