Poly or Foam Pigs are used for a wide range of applications, such as flooding, dewatering, and drying, as well as cleaning, gauging, and batching operations. Foam pigs can also be used for proving pipeline suitability for pigging with less flexible pig types such as metal-bodied pigs.
The flexible nature of Foam pigs allows safe running in lines with wax or scale build-up (especially if deposit volumes are unknown). Foam pigs can be provided with varied aggression, from simple swabbing or inspecting pigs (for line proving) to the heavy density wire brush or Silicon carbide pigs.
ARR retains moulds for a full range of sizes, from 2" to 56" and these are custom-made to order.
