Asphalt Pumping Solutions

 

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 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.

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.

Viscosidad en lo grueso y en lo delgado

La viscosidad es una medida de la resistencia de un líquido a fluir. Y no hace falta trabajar en un laboratorio para observarla. Cualquiera que haya pasado algún tiempo en la cocina ha observado una gran variedad de líquidos con una amplia variedad de viscosidades.
