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.

The Line Stop Machine consists of Four major parts

  • A hydraulic Cylinder
  • A Plugging Head Housing
  • A Isolation Head
  • A Sealing Element

Hydraulic Cylinder

A single Hydraulic Cylinder can be used with several sizes of pipeline as per the following list:
