324E SERIES™ ELECTRIC HEAT ASPHALT PUMP
ELECTRIC HEATING
Electrically heated pumps can be used as an alternative to jacketed pumps that require liquid or steam for heating. Electric heat cartridges on the bracket and head ensure the asphalt is in a liquid state prior to startup. Viking’s temperature control system uses a thermocouple to monitor pump temperature and send a signal back to a controller with adjustable set point. When the pump reaches temperature, the asphalt is liquid and the controller stops heating. Relays can be used to alert the operator or allow the motor to safely begin operation.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Rugged design provides superior performance in asphalt applications
- Lower installation costs in remote locations when steam or hot oil is not available
- Reduced energy costs through elimination of heat loss through steam or hot oil piping

| N324E | 6 /150 | 500 | 136 | 350 | 200 | 14 |
324A SERIES™ ASPHALT PUMP FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Rugged and reliable, yet economical
- Tight clearances offer high efficiency and excellent priming capabilities
- Integral jacket chambers in the bracket and head surround the seal and pump internals for rapid & efficient heating using steam or hot oil
- Optional hardened bushings, shaft, rotor and idler offer wear resistance in abrasive applications

Viking Pump® in the Bitumen & Asphalt Pump Process
Viking pumps play a vital role in reliably transferring asphalt for the pavement and building material markets including at hot mix plants, asphalt terminals, sealant plants, and roofing manufacturing facilities.
Viking gear pumps are used for unloading trucks and railcars; transferring and metering asphalt to drum mixers at hot mix plants; pumping additives at asphalt terminals and sealant plants; and moving clean asphalt flux & blown asphalt at roofing plants.
Viking Pump’s robust & easy to maintain pumps will improve your operational efficiency.
Positive Displacement Pumps for Asphalt Applications
Positive displacement pumps are used for asphalt because they provide a smooth, steady flow of product compared to other types of pumps which can produce pressure fluctuations. They are also capable of producing high discharge pressures. Additionally, they are easy to maintain and provide a greater degree of accuracy in terms of the volume of product delivered.
With over 110 years of experience providing positive displacement pumping solutions, Viking Pump has a rich, lengthy history of providing engineered solutions for tough applications. We have dedicated sales and field support specialists who are supported by a team of customer service representatives and engineers.

Use of Bitumen & Asphalt: The heat is on
Asphalt, also known as bitumen, is a sticky, black, and highly viscous liquid, or semi-solid form of petroleum. Asphalt is man's earliest organic engineering material. Its application as an adhesive and waterproof material dates to the dawn of civilization. The asphalt market thrives today largely for road building, roofing, and various types of repair work where its water-proofing qualities are required, as well as in rubber and adhesive compounds.
How An Internal Gear Pump Works
All positive displacement pumps work by first expanding a cavity between the casing and one or more moving parts to create a partial vacuum, so atmospheric pressure can force liquid into the pumping chamber through the inlet port… read more.
