HPS AccuTect - Pig Detector
The HPS AccuTect detector (or pig detection system) is an advanced, intelligent detection device that determines the presence of an HPS pigging projectile when in close proximity.Rreliable and accurate pig detection
An essential component of pigging systems, pig detectors are usually located close to launch and receive stations, enabling highly efficient, safe and reliable operation – whether automated, semi-automated or manual.
HPS have designed the AccuTect pig detector with system integration and control in mind. It’s available in two versions: mounted or portable.
Featuring an ultra-reliable detection signal, clear visual indication, and easy calibration, the AccuTect is ideal for hygienic (sanitary) and industrial environments.
Offering high levels of efficiency, reliability and performance, the AccuTect pig detector is used by some of the world’s largest liquid processing companies.
The AccuTect pig detector comprises of two ultra-reliable sensors which provide accurate, clear and colour-coded visual indication of pig position. When the pig is in close range, the LED lights on the pig detector will illuminate red to indicate the position of the pig. When the pig goes out of range, the LED lights will change to green. Note: The AccuTect Pig Detector has a two-second output signal by default, however, this can be customised to the required output length.
Pig detectors are usually fitted close to the pig launchers and pig receivers, and the control system will use the signal to initiate the next phase of the operation (for example, starting a CIP sequence, venting the line, using the receiver to return the pig, returning to normal processing and so on).
Visual Indication with Output Signal for PLCHPS pigs have special magnetized silicone cores. The pig detectors sense the pigs magnetic field, which provides an ultra-reliable signal as the pig passes. When the device detects the presence of a pig, it also lights an LED. This provides an accurate, clear and colour-coded visual indication to the system operator of the pig’s presence.
One of the key benefits of HPS systems is that, as well as a visual indication, the signal can also be used to determine events programmed into a PLC or pigging automation software. This enables semi or full automation of the product recovery and pigging process.
