Line Stop Machines :- Overview

The line stop plugging machine is designed to isolate a pipe section by temporarily blocking the flow in a pipeline by isolating a section of pipe on-stream without shutdown while diverting the product flow using a bypass installed around an isolated section.

Line Stop Machines: Major Components

  • A Hydraulic Cylinder: Hydraulic cylinder is the driving force of the Line Stop Machine, enabling precise and controlled movement during the line-stopping process. It delivers the necessary pressure to position the plugging head accurately within the pipeline.
  • A Plugging Head Housing: Plugging head housing securely holds the plugging head in place. Its durable design allows it to withstand high pressures and temperatures, making it a vital component in pipeline isolation.
  • A Isolation Head: The isolation head plays a pivotal role in creating a secure seal within the pipeline. It acts as a barrier, isolating the flow of liquids or gases in the targeted section.
  • A Sealing Element: The sealing element is a critical component that provides a leak-proof seal between the isolation head and the pipeline. Made from high-quality materials, it ensures a tight fit and prevents leakage during the line-stopping process.
