When a Standard Pig Isn't Enough
Some lines don’t fit the catalog. The pipe might be an unusual size, the buildup might be unusually tough, or the product might chew through standard foam. Whether an existing design can be modified or a new pig built from scratch, our team can customize it. Past custom work includes foam-and-cup hybrid pigs and spiral bypass pigs.
When You Need A Custom Pig
Non-standard, oversize or dual-diameter pipe, plus tight bends, reductions and unusual valves or fittings.
Hard scale, heavy paraffin or other buildup that standard pigs leave behind.
Chemically aggressive products or extreme temperatures.
Tracking, gauging or bypass needs that a catalog pig can't meet.
