Streamlining Automated Pigging Operations

(PRUnderground) January 23rd, 2026

WeldFit, a leading provider of innovative pipeline intervention, flow assurance and emissions management solutions, proudly announces the launch of its SureLaunch® Pig (SLp). Purpose-built to work seamlessly with the SureLaunch® Automated Pig Launcher, the SLp is also highly versatile for use in traditional pigging systems.

The SLp is engineered for performance and reliability. Constructed from 80 durometer urethane, it offers the flexibility to navigate pipe deformations, traverse short radius bends and maintain a consistent seal for optimal cleaning and separation. Its integrated vented standoff design prevents stacked pigs from sticking or lodging together, making it ideal for automated launching systems that use cup-type pigs. Additionally, the SLp eliminates the need for a backing plate, streamlining operations and reducing lead times.

“SLp was created with direct input from our field experts to address real-world challenges,” said Jeff Lehr, vice president of product innovation and execution. “Even if you’re not performing multi-pig launches, the SLp delivers exceptional performance in any pipeline. Choosing WeldFit means more than quality—it’s about service and a culture you can trust.”
