Operation Process:
- Launching (Sending the Pig): Close the inlet and launch valves, open the main valve 1 to empty the launcher barrel, insert the pig through the blind flange, then close the blind flange. Open the inlet valve and the launch valve; the pig indicator shows the pig has been sent. Close the inlet and launch valves, and reopen the main valve 1.
- Receiving (Collecting the Pig): Close the main valve 2, open the receiver and outlet valves. Once the pig indicator shows the pig has entered the receiver, open the main valve 2, then close the receiver and outlet valves. Empty the receiver barrel and open the blind flange to remove the pig.
Key Advantages:
- High safety and reliability for high-pressure pipelines
- Clear and intuitive operation with pig indicator
- Suitable for multiple media including oil, gas, water, and chemicals
