Polyshots are also known in the industry as Foam Pellets, Projectiles, Poly Pigs or Foam Pigs and the process known as Pigging. A Pig is defined as a device that moves through the inside of a pipeline, tube or hose for the purpose of cleaning, dimensioning, or inspecting.

There are many different types of foam "polyshots" and it is important that our clients choose the correct size, type, grade and density of foam for a particular application. This is where Ferret Industries experience and advice is essential.

Our company has focused on the production and distribution of Foam Polyshots and Swabs for the cleaning of hoses, tubes and pipes since 1993.

Polyshots (Foam Pigs or Polly-Pigs) are manufactured from open cell polyurethane foam. The foam is of various densities ranging from a light, medium or heavy density. The options are: With Abrasive Scourer, Abrasive Grit Coating, Polyurethane Coated, Bevel Tipped (for ease of launching), Vacuum Down (where possible to reduce costs).

Polyshots are compressible, expandable, light weight and flexible. Polyshots will travel through multiple diameter pipelines, go around mitred bends and short radius 90 degree bends. They will make abrupt turns in tees so laterals can be cleaned.

Ferret Industries also sells a Hose, Tube and Pipe Cleaning Kit. The hand held air launcher uses the small Foam Polyshots (5mm x 50mm diameter) for cleaning and maintenance of smaller hoses, tubes and pipes.

Polyshots and Swabs are custom made in Brisbane at the Virginia factory. Sizes range from 5mm to 1,800mm in diameter.
