For each of our clients, the value of product recovered by HPS systems usually runs into thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, occasionally millions of dollars every year.

So the ROI achieved by our clients is high, and payback rapid.

And that’s just based on product recovery alone.

When you take into account some of other benefits of HPS technology, such as increased capacity, faster changeovers, reduced contamination risks, lower waste treatment costs, lower carbon footprint and better environmental sustainability, you’ll get a really strong business case.

If you work for a company that processes liquids, we’ll happily work with you to see if there’s a business case for HPS technology.

If there isn’t a business case for HPS technology, we’ll tell you. Shake hands and move on.

But if there is a business case for HPS technology, we hope you’ll want to talk more.

No obligations or pressure either way.

Companies that...

Manufacture drinks or beverages?

A technology that is increasingly being adopted in new, as well as existing beverage manufacturing facilities throughout the world is liquid product recovery technology.

Also referred to as “Pigging”, the technology can quickly, easily, and cost-effectively solve many challenges for beverage manufacturers.

Pigging systems recover residual liquid from beverage pipelines. This is liquid that, without pigging technology installed, would usually be flushed to waste.

HPS - Product Recovery Solutions is the world leader in process, hygienic and sanitary pigging technology. HPS solutions increase product yields, reduce waste, save water and CiP fluids, improve efficiency, and increase plant capacity enabling beverage processors and manufacturers to produce more product for less.

“The HPS pigging system would help the company save roughly $145,800 US dollars a day”.

That's a lot of fruit juice.

If you work for a company that processes liquids, and need to seriously cut product waste, speed up changeovers, reduce cross-contamination risks, save water and improve your environmental sustainability, contact HPS.

There are many ways in which liquid product recovery (pigging) systems increase efficiency.

Reducing the amount of water used in your process is one of them.

Saving water not only means, well, that you need less water to start with, but also efficiency and sustainability gains through less pumping, heating, treatment, recycling or disposal.

With pigging there is less residual product in pipelines to flush away, so your flush process can be shorter, more precise and use less run-off water. It’s similar with the chemical rinse, if you have one.

And that’s just one way in which pigging saves water.

There are other ways too.

And many other benefits of pigging.

From increased yields, greater capacity, lower contamination risks to faster changeovers.

So if you want to reduce water usage or improve the efficiency of your liquid transfer processes in other ways, contact HPS.

Water. It’s always been scarce. Well, clean water has anyway. And tragically, in far too many areas, water is becoming even scarcer.
About 70% of the Earth is covered in water. But the type of water that’s good enough to supply to our homes, to drink, to help grow crops, or wash ourselves with, is much less common.

In fact, only about 3% of water on the Earth is fresh water. And most of that’s unavailable because it’s not accessible, for example because it’s in the form of glaciers, or unavailable for our use for other reasons.

Fortunately, many large-scale organisations are taking water and sustainability extremely seriously. They have teams of some highly talented people looking at innovative ways to reduce, or ideally eliminate, water in many of their processes.

They are doing it for the sake of their futures. It’s not only makes moral and ethical sense, it makes blunt commercial sense too. If they don’t create a sustainable future, they will have no products, no customers, no employees, no business.

Which makes it good to work for a company that provides technology to help reduce water consumption.

Because of the pandemic, the last time any group of HPS - Product Recovery Solutions staff from different countries managed to meet in person was back in 2019.

Now they're back!

Here are some of the HPS team from Australia, US and UK getting together in Nottingham yesterday to discuss the latest developments, innovations, market updates and just about everything else related to process and sanitary pigging technology!

Water savings of 40 000 000 litres a year, along with product savings (wine) of 440 000 litres per year.

The water savings equate to about 16 Olympic size swimming pools.

Wine savings of about 586 000 standard size bottles are enough for, well, to keep a load of supermarkets in stock for quite a while, or one heck of a party.

Orlando Wines in Australia achieved these savings by using HPS - Product Recovery Solutions liquid product recovery and transfer equipment.

They got plenty of other benefits as well.

So if you work for a company that processes liquids, whether it’s wine, other beverage, food, paint, cosmetics, or just about any other liquid, and are looking to save product, water, increase yields, capacity, operational efficiency, or environmental sustainability, please get in touch.

Well designed and programmed automation and control is key to the success of liquid product recovery ( ) projects.

Here’s a pigging system control panel being packed in the HPS UK factory. It’s just about to be shipped to an HPS client in Thailand as part of a large extension project.

Once our clients install a pigging system and realise the benefits it delivers, they nearly always want to add pigging to other areas, and also include pigging as standard to any new builds.

If you pump or process liquids and are looking to increase yields and capacity, improve efficiency and environmental sustainability, contact HPS for a free, detailed guide to liquid product recovery.

In food and beverage production, liquid product recovery ("pigging") systems are often used to make the Clean in Place process quicker and more efficient. This excellent article in ProFood World includes a section on how pigging systems and CiP go hand-in-hand, and includes comments from HPS's very own Peter Elgar

https://www.profoodworld.com/food-safety/cleaning-and-sanitation/article/22031028/efficient-clean-in-place-technologies-improve-food-safety-costs?.

Comprehensive sanitation and hygiene practices are more important than ever. Improvements in several aspects of the equipment are making clean-in-place systems increasingly indispensable in food and beverage plants.

What’s the plural of “Automatrix”? Is it Automatrixes? Or maybe Automatrices? Or even Automatri?

Actually, it doesn’t matter because you’ll probably only ever need one of them.

That’s because we’ll build in capacity for as much future expansion as you’re ever likely to need.

Unless you need one on a different site. Then you’ll need two.

Or if don’t care less about yields, efficiency, the environment or sustainability, then you’ll probably never need even one.

Similarly you probably won’t need one if you don’t work for a company that processes liquids.

In fact, if you’re wondering what an Automatrix is, it’s only going to be of interest to you if you work in a company that processes liquids and you want to improve the way things are done.

In particular, if you transfer liquids from multiple sources to multiple destinations, and you want to do it safely, reliably, hygienically, quickly, efficiently and automatically, then you’ll find the HPS Automatrix is the most advanced, efficient and effective product available.

Especially if you want to get rid of loads of hoses.

An HPS Automatrix will remove many of the safety issues associated with multiple hoses, as well as being far quicker. It also just about eliminates the risk of connection errors.

And it’s fully piggable. So it’s kind to the environment.

If you’re interested, click on https://www.hps-pigging.com/automatrix/.

Even if you’re not, please let us know what you think the plural of ‘Automatrix’ should be.

Thanks!

“It’s really interesting!”

“It is, isn’t it”

“Yes, I’d never heard of it before”

“You’d be surprised how many people haven’t”

“Really? It’s not just me then!”

“No. But feel free to spread the word. It makes some interesting conversations”

If you haven’t heard of pigging, you’re not alone.

But if you work for a company that processes liquids, and you want to help the environment, as well as increase yields, cut waste, improve operational efficiency and capacity, and overall profits it’s probably time you found out more.

Or at least had a conversation about it.
