Foam Pigs

Foam disc pigs have a series of ridges or discs that help to provide extra wiping and sealing capabilities. Because this foam pig provides such a good seal, foam disc pigs are ideal for a number of applications including, product recovery and removal, de-watering, and nitrogen purges. Foam disc pigs are available in both medium (5lb) and heavy density (9lb) foam. Foam disc pigs can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources.

Criss-Cross pigs have a urethane coating which provides extra durability and allows the pig to travel longer distances without being damaged. These pigs can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. Criss-Cross pigs come in soft (2lb), medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

The Bare Squeegee is an effective pig to run for liquid removal after a hydro-test. It has also proven to maintain a superior seal when flow rates are minimal. Bare Squeegees can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. Bare Squeegee pigs come in medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

The bare swab is made with 2lb foam density. The bare swab is an unaggressive, but useful pig. They are used on many water utility lines for sweeping unwanted build-up and determining the effective internal diameter of pipe. The swab is also used for drying lines after hydrotesting and has proven to be a safe pig to run if the operator is unsure of the condition of his/her pipeline.

The Hand-Launch Pig is a single-piece, bi-directional foam pig manufactured with long-wearing yet flexible urethane foam discs. They are designed to navigate dual-diameter situations well and especially good at running in PE pipe where weld joints require flexibility. Hand-Launch Pigs are available in both medium and heavy density urethane foam. Hand Launch Pigs can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. Hand Launch pigs come in medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

The Spiral Wire Brush Foam Pig is a good cleaning pig for removing normal amounts of scale and deposits. The wire brushes rub against the pipe wall loosening weld slag, rust, and other unwanted agents. The spiral wire brush can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. The spiral wire brush can also be outfitted with pull ropes to make pig removal easier. Spiral Wire pigs come in soft (2lb), medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

The Power Brush Foam pig is used when aggressive cleaning is needed. Its heavy density foam is completely covered with tough wire brushes enabling it to remove large amounts of paraffin wax as well as hardened scale deposits. The power brush can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. The Power Brush pigs come in medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

The Ultra-Seal Pig offers the best sealing of any pig on the market. It has a patented design consisting of both foam and urethane arranged in unique manner making it ideal for use on nitrogen purges, liquid removal or any other scenario where bypass is to be eliminated. The Ultra-Seal can also altered to include a EZ launch nose for vertical launchers or low flow situations. The Ultra-Seal can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources.

The Ultra-Seal Lite Pig is a hand-crafted, custom-built pig. The specific design and materials for each pig are determined by the configuration of the pipeline and operational requirements of the pig. The Ultra-Seal Lite pig is known to offer superior sealing in multi-diameter lines and is typically used for dewatering, flooding and fluid control. Ultra-Seal Lite pigs can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources. Ultra-Seal Lite pigs are offered in medium (5lb), or high (9lb) foam densities.

This Silicone Carbide pig offers a "sandpaper" effect on the pipe wall and is great for loosening dirt and scale build-up often found in water lines. The Silicone Carbide pigs are available in both medium and heavy density urethane foam. The Silicone Carbide pigs can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources.

The Black Belt is outfitted with urethane blades molded into the foam for maximum scraping power. The tough urethane blades are great for paraffin removal. The urethane blades make it the perfect choice for plastic or internally coated pipelines, where traditional brush pigs cannot be used. The Black Belt is available in both medium and heavy density urethane foam. The Black Belt can be modified to accommodate transmitters, magnets and/or radioactive sources.

Foam Spheres can be an ideal pig to run when there are tees, tight radius bends or other challenges to negotiate. Foam Spheres can be manufactured in both 5lb and 9lb foam densities in sizes 2” – 36”. The spheres can be made in the following options: bare foam, criss cross coating, totally coated, silicone carbide and wire brush.
