Pigging Technology “Brilliantly Simple”

Stockcode:

The idea of pigging is brilliantly simple.

The best ideas are often the most simple. This is just the case with pigging. It was expended more than 45 years ago by I.S.T. "for new branches of industry", and is based on a process which is, in principle, very simple: a shaped plug, the pig, which is driven by a propellant, is used to push out the contents of a pipe. What makes this principle so attractive is that it is suitable for use in various fields: I.S.T. pigging systems can be used to pump, fill, mix and separate large quantitites of substance and also to clean pipes, in an environmentally friendly, efficient and cost-effective way. I.S.T. has taken a brilliantly simpel idea an d developed it into perfect system solutions for all problematic tasks associated with pumping and filling systems.

I.S.T. Molchtechnik GMBH

I work at I.S.T. Molchtechnik GmbH since 2008. The working atmosphere is good. Much better than in the other companies where I had previously worked. I also think the management is reasonable. The colleagues are very responsible and reliable. What is agreed upon is also done. I'm also happy with my salary and bonuses, otherwise I would have left long ago. Not true? But, you are always welcome to go upstairs. :) At the beginning I couldn't speak German very well. There was a lot of support from management and colleagues.
