VARICOVER® PRODUCT RECOVERY SYSTEM 3A
Pigging systems
Product Recovery Systems are used for the recovery of valuable products from pipe systems. The VARICOVER® Product Recovery System has been redesigned according to the new 3A standard for use in the US beverage, food and pharmaceutical industries. The new pigging system design has implemented a more user friendly assembly and adjusting of all position sensors.
Product Recovery Systems are applicable for products as
- Shampoo, lotions, creams, toothpaste
- Pharmaceutical liquid products
- Washing agents, cleaning agents
- Yoghurt, quark, cheese
- Fruit pulp, syrup, concentrates
- Dough, vegetable oil

Application ranges
Product recovery systems are used for the ejection of viscous / flowing products from pipelines without mixing with any other media. This is especially required for high quality products in the food and beverages industries, as well as, pharmaceutical and personal and health care industries.
Product control
In addition to pushing out of products from the pipelines, product recovery systems are also used for gentle filling of pipelines with sensitive and foaming products. Even vertical pipelines can be easily filled by letting the product push the pig downwards in the pipe.
Types of product recovery systems
The pigging process can be implemented with different degrees of automation. That is why the portfolio of GEA Tuchenhagen offers three different product recovery systems:
1. Automatic product recovery systems
Due to the complete automation of the process, the pig can push out and be cleaned without manual action. The entire process takes place solely in the pipeline.
Special features- Safe operation by closed pipe systems
- No pig removal required in operation
- Automatic function mode and thus fully verifiable processes
2. Semi-automatic product recovery systems In contrast to the automatic product recovery systems, with the semi-automatic product recovery systems the pig is inserted and removed manually. Pushing out of product and returning of the pig then takes place automatically.
3. Manual product recovery systems In the manual product recovery system, the pig is manually inserted into the pipeline and at the end removed manually. The pig runs in only one direction.
