What is Solid Cast Cleaning Pig?

The solid cast cleaning pig is cast from a mold. it’s made of polyurethane, so it has better wear resistance. There are some types of polyurethane pigs. Pigs can be made into bowls or straight plates. The polyurethane material gives the pig better wear resistance. At the same time, it can run longer in the pipelines. Therefore, it is suitable for long-distance pipe cleaning. The cleaning effect is better. Besides, It can pass through the pipelines easily. It usually does not match other accessories because it is poured in one piece.

The diameter of the pig is slightly larger than the inside diameter of the pipe, which allows the pig to better remove debris such as loose sediment, product buildup, rust, and impurities from the pipe. In addition, it also helps to increase the carrying capacity of pipelines and improve product quality.

The hardness default is 85A±5. Besides, 75A±5 and 65A±5 can also be done.

Types:

Different molds can make different types of solid cast cleaning pigs. We provide polyurethane pigs with cups and polyurethane pigs with discs.

Advantages and Disadvantages:

Advantages:

First, it’s made of polyurethane, so it has better wear resistance. It can be reused many times. In addition, its running distance is long. So it is suitable for long-distance pipe cleaning. Its corrosion resistance is much higher than that of a foam pig. The effect of cleaning is good, too. It can effectively remove impurities, hard scales, rust, and so on from the pipelines. And it cleans much better than foam pigs. In addition, it has high bendability compared to skeletal pigs. Therefore, it can also pass smoothly in some pipes with large curvature. The solid cast cleaning pig is made of a mold. So there is no skeleton of it. Therefore, it can passage through the pipeline more easily. In other words, it has better passage capacity.

Disadvantages:

Polyurethane pig is made of a mold poured into one piece. Therefore, common accessories can’t be added. And if the cups or discs are broken, they can’t be changed separately. The disadvantage of this kind of pig is that once one part is damaged, it directly affects the use effect. Or for safety, it will be directly discarded and replaced with a new one. It may cost more if you replace it. But if you are not ready to change it, the cost of polyurethane pigs is relatively cheaper than skeletal cleaning pigs.

How Do Pipeline Pigs Work?

The pig is usually made cylindrical or spherical because it can help the movement and efficient cleaning of pipelines. While solid cast cleaning pigs are usually cylindrical in shape. As the pig moves through the pipeline, it can remove impurities, and rust and possibly detect any build-ups in the pipe. Because of these impurities can often lead to problems such as reduced performance, increased energy costs, and cause corrosion. These problems could lead to disastrous leaks and cracks in the pipe. Cleaning pigs can effectively prevent these problems.

Pipeline cleaning pigs can make sure the cleaning of pipelines. Besides, they can make sure the pipe is free from obstruction. The real effectiveness of a pigging system is the pig itself. If a pig is made of a specific material, it may not perform reliably in a specific pipeline. Different pipelines are made of different materials, as well as cleaning pigs. The size of the cleaning pigs is decided by the size of the pipeline. So cleaning pigs are usually custom-made.

The pig moves through the pipe due to the pressure created by transporting material through the pipe. The pig is pushed forward while the material is constantly being transported. And the pig can also be pulled by another device or cable to complete the cleaning process in the pipeline. The pig is usually shaped like a cylinder or ball for easy passage through the pipe. The pig cleans impurities by scraping the sides of the pipe while pushing debris in front of it. As the pig moves along the pipe, the pig can perform a number of functions, such as cleaning functions and pipe inspections.

How Can Cleaning Pigs Help Clean?

The pig moves efficiently through the pipe and removes the impurities that might clog the pipe. In order to get liquids, chemicals, or other products flowing, cleaning pigs are needed to remove various impurities and debris in pipes. Pipes of all shapes and sizes need to be inspected and cleaned regularly. The longer a pipeline is in operation, the more likely it is to corrode and become clogged. So pigs are needed to do regular inspections, cleaning, and maintenance of the pipe.
