Product Recovery Systems

Tuchenhagen Product Recovery Systems recover valuable finished product from process pipework. Under automatic control the pig expels product from the pipe, leaving a thin residual layer which is easily removed by CIP.This technique substantially reduces plant effluent.


Advantages using Product Recovery Systems:

• Reduced loss of valuable products
• Reduced production down times
• Reduced consumption of rinsing water
• Reduced consumption of cleaning media
• Reduced waste water load

Tuchenhagen Product Recovery Systems are noted for

• their use in fully automa­ted production lines with hygienic integrity
• automatic control of the pig by detection of the pig's position outside the pipe.
• safe operation due to the matrix piped, closed system.
• no disassembly of the pig stations for operational and cleaning purposes
• full integration into CIP and SIP systems for both new and existing plants 9 fully automatic CIP /SIP-able pig stations
• supply valves for pig driv­ing media pulsed during pipework CIP to guarantee full cleaning.
• fully verifiable processe's
• product push-out forward or back to the source tank.
• use of different pig drivin media:water, air, CO₂ or N₂
