Pig Tracking Equipment

TRAXALL is CDI's major advance in state-of-the-art pipeline pig location and tracking. Building upon 20 years of tracking know-how and our sophisticated new Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology, the 770 tracks as many as 7 different transmitter frequencies simultaneously with a unique color assignment for each on the bright, wide temperature display.

Multi-Frequency TRAXALL Transmitter

The X100 transmitter family are CDI's smallest TRAXALL compatibleelectromagnetic transmitters. This family consists of five transmitters which house 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 N-Cell batteries. The X100-1N is by far the smallest pig tracking transmitter in the world. These transmitters have both user-adjustable frequency and output power through the use of CDI's FieldLink wireless communications system. Using CDI's TRAXALL transmitters, an operator may have direct control over battery life vs. strength tradeoffs. Short pig runs can go for maximum power and long pig runs can be more conservative with pulsing modes and/or reduced power.

Multi-Frequency TRAXALL Transmitter

The X200 transmitter family are CDI's small-sized TRAXALL compatible electromagnetic transmitters. This family consists of two transmitters which house either 2 or 3 AA-Cell batteries. These transmitters have both user-adjustable frequency and output power through the use of CDI's FieldLink wireless communications system. Using CDI's TRAXALL transmitters, an operator may have direct control over battery life vs. strength tradeoffs. Short pig runs can go for maximum power and long pig runs can be more conservative with pulsing modes and/or reduced power.

Multi-Frequency TRAXALL Transmitter

The X300 transmitter family are CDI's mid-sized TRAXALL compatible electromagnetic transmitters. This family consists of four transmitters which house 2, 3, 4 or 5 C-Cell batteries. These transmitters have both user-adjustable frequency and output power through the use of CDI's FieldLink wireless communications system. Using CDI's TRAXALL transmitters, an operator may have direct control over battery life vs. strength tradeoffs. Short pig runs can go for maximum power and long pig runs can be more conservative with pulsing modes and/or reduced power.

Multi-Frequency TRAXALL Transmitter

ATEX pig tracking transmitters are available!The X400 transmitter family are CDI's largest TRAXALL compatible electromagnetic transmitters. This family consists of four transmitters which house 2, 3, 4 or 5 D-Cell batteries. These transmitters have both user-adjustable frequency and output power through the use of CDI's FieldLink wireless communications system. Using CDI's TRAXALL transmitters, an operator may have direct control over battery life vs. strength tradeoffs. Short pig runs can go for maximum power and long pig runs can be more conservative with pulsing modes and/or reduced power.

The Receiver

The MANTIS 820 is CDI’s newest product for subsea pipeline pig tracking. The MANTIS is a deep-water ROV tie-in solution which provides all of the benefits of CDI’s multi-frequency electromagnetic pig tracking in a durable and robust package. The MANTIS 820 may be purchased or rented to use along with our wide family of TRAXALL Transmitters which include 8 ATEX variants. 

The Enduro Wireless Geophone detects pig movement by sound amplification of normal noises created by pig passage. The Geophone unit can be placed on the ground or attached to exposed piping such as valve settings, vent pipes, etc...

The CD42-STS allows for subsea tracking of moving pigs and locating stationary or stuck pigs equipped with CDI's standard line of electromagnetic transmitters. The CD42-STS diver and ROV tracking system does not use radioactive isotopes.
