FOAM PIG

Foam Pigs are used to remove dust or fluids from all pipe materials. They are generally
pushed through a pipe using air or water pressure, although they can be supplied with a
facility to allow them to be pulled through a pipe.
Foam Pigs are flexible and bi-directional. They will negotiate all conventional pipeline fittings such as
bends, valves and reduced diameter branch connections. They will also easily pass through greatly
reduced pipe diameters and partial obstructions.
Other uses include line drying and product separation. Models can also be manufactured to allow for
customised features such as towing ropes or transmitter housings.
The Pipe Equipment range of Foam Pigs are manufactured from a specially selected grade of foam
that has good wear resistance and is designed to maintain an effective seal. Two main types are
available.

SEALED END PIG

These Foam Pigs are cylindrically shaped and incorporate an impermeable disc at one end which is bonded to
the foam.
This product, which by the virtue of the sealed end is non porous, is designed for the more arduous applications
such as pipe cleaning and drying. It is available in the size range 2 (50mm) to 42 (1050mm).

SWABBING PIG
These Foam Pigs in the form of a cylinder are primarily used for the swabbing of water mains. They are
available in all sizes up to 42 (1050mm).
