The shaft and the PIG are magnetised. DO NOT approach magnetic metal elements, as they have a strong magnetic pull. Avoid placing the item on metal tables or benches during handling. DO NOT place it near metal tools or objects that could be attracted by the magnetic field. The service life of the PIG largely depends on the quality of the installation, including the interior pipe finishing, welds, cleanliness, and any factors that may affect its smooth movement. All electrical work must be performed by authorised personnel. INOXPA S.A.U. 13.001.30.04EN · (0) 2025/02...
General Information 4. General Information 4.1. DESCRIPTION The SILPIG system is designed to recover the remaining product inside a pipeline after the pumping process and/or to remove the product to facilitate subsequent cleaning through a CIP process. The SILPIG system consists of a sending station, a receiving station, the PIG, two position detectors, four A480 butterfly valves, and two INNOVA K valves. The process begins by placing the PIG in the launch position. It is propelled toward the receiving station by a driving fluid, usually compressed air. As it moves, the PIG pushes the product inside the pipeline for recovery. Once it reaches the receiving station, the entire system can be cleaned through CIP, with the added advantage that the PIG is also cleaned. After this phase, the PIG is returned to the launch station, and the system is ready for the next production cycle. INOXPA S.A.U. 13.001.30.04EN · (0) 2025/02...

LOCATION Place the equipment leaving enough space around it to realize easily the dismantling, the inspection and the review the equipment as well as in order to access to the actuator air connection’s device for equipments with automatic actuation even when the equipment is operating. 5.5. FLUID CONNECTIONS The equipment has two main ports and one secondary port. The two main ports are for product inlet and outlet, and they are connected to the main pipeline of the system.
INNOVA K valve with C-TOP S control head. PIG Detector: The PIG detector should be placed between 100 and 120 mm from the equipment outlet. If this distance is not respected, the shaft’s magnetic field could interfere with detectio, causing the detector to send incorrect signals. INOXPA S.A.U. 13.001.30.04EN · (0) 2025/02...
To perform the air connection to the actuator: - connect and check the air connections (G 1/8’’ thread for tubing Ø6 mm), - check the compressed air pressure and characteristics, ensure the quality of the compressed air complies with the specifications described in section 9.

- activate the equipment. ATTENTION Do not modify the operating parameters for which the equipment has been designed without prior written authorisation from INOXPA. Do not touch the moving parts of the coupling between the actuator and the equipment when the actuator is connected to the compressed air supply. ¡Burn hazard! Do not touch the equipment or pipes when the hot fluids are circulating or when cleaning and/or sterilization are being carried out.
