FAQs

A piggable paint circulation system is designed to reduce paint waste and improve efficiency. It uses a pig, or cleaning device, to recover unused paint from the supply lines, ensuring that more paint is used and less is wasted. This ensures a clean and efficient paint supply.

A pigging system in paint pushes a special cleaning pig through the pipes. This pig clears leftover paint from the system, reducing contamination between color changes,  removing any buildup or residue and minimizing the need for manual cleaning. This keeps the system clean and prevents clogs, ensuring a smooth paint flow.

A piggable paint system helps reduce paint waste, improve color change efficiency, and lower cleaning costs. It also minimizes downtime and keeps the paint supply system running smoothly. The system is also easy to maintain and clean.
