It is recommended for many types of piping to carry out pigging at regular intervals. Pigging can be used for cleaning or checking the condition of pipelines.

The pig is launched in the pipeline via pig launchers, which in turn are an important component of pig launching stations. Schuck pig launchers are complete systems with proven and reliable quick action bayonet closures.

Schuck pig launchers type SMO meet all national and international norms and standards. They are made to order according to customer specifications.

Pig launchers can be optionally equipped with a pig detector and, if required, shut off valves for the pipeline connected to them (drain, vent, etc.). The pig detector shows whether the pig is already in the lock.

Schuck pig launchers type SMO can be used on pipelines with various types of media such as crude oil and gas. Valves are available in a wide range of diameters and pressure classes.
