New Case Study from HPS Shows How “Pigging” Benefits Personal Care Manufacturers
The DCS Group, a UK personal care product manufacturer, achieved remarkable operational improvements by implementing HPS Advanced Liquid Product Recovery (Pigging) Technology.
A recent case study showcases their impressive results, including a 93% waste reduction and a shift from hours-long changeovers to just 15 minutes.
Key to this success is the use of pigging technology, commonly applied across the process and hygiene industries, which recovers residual liquid product from pipelines rather than wasting it, enhancing operational efficiency, reducing downtime, minimising contamination risks, and improving sustainability.
The DCS Group's move to pigging technology was prompted by their relocation to a larger facility, offering an opportunity to revamp their processes. Their collaboration with HPS resulted in the installation of eight fully automatic pigging systems that have proven highly effective with minimal maintenance needs.
