Local blending plants take bulk petroleum or synthetic base oils from refineries and mix them together with additives to create unique oil blends for specific applications and customers.
Typical Applications
- Base oils
- Antioxidants
- Corrosion inhibitors
- Detergents
- Viscosity index improvers
- Anti-foaming agents
- Extreme pressure additives
- Anti-wear agents
VIKING IN YOUR PROCESS
At lubricant blending plants, Viking pumps are used to unload railcars to talk farm, transfer from tank farm to day tank, and to meter additives into the base oil. They are frequently used to provide continuous tank recirculation to limit stratification, often with eductors on the discharge piping to improve in-tank mixing. And they transfer the finished product to packaging lines or to loading racks for bulk delivery.
Viking provides reliable transfer regardless of temperature-related changes in viscosity

Replace Packing or Mechanical Seals with O-Pro®
Each O-Pro® Seal design option replaces packing or a mechanical seal by occupying the internal bracket cavity with a machined seal gland. Utilizing O-rings to seal externally on the bracket and internally on the shaft, a combination of O-rings and lubricating grease provide a robust seal. This prevents process fluids from leaking out of the pump. Learn more>>
Machinery lubrication pumps are used in everything from small backup generators to naval ships. Lube oils, as the name implies, are the liquids used to lubricate rotating and reciprocating machinery. Lube oils may be handled at higher pressures to ensure their penetration of the equipment
Typical Applications
- Dedicated lube oil filtration
- Cooling and/or dehydration for compressors, engines, turbines, and gearboxes
- Portable filtration systems
- API 614 lubrication systems
VIKING IN YOUR PROCESS
Viking pumps are used to scavenge (draw lubricant oil from a sump) and pump the oil through filters, heat exchangers and/or dehydration systems in full-flow or kidney-loop processes to remove contaminants, reduce temperature and remove free water, then return and spray it on key friction points within the machine. This ensures maximum lubrication effectiveness and longest life for the lubricated equipment.
Viking provides OEM lube pumps to many major manufacturers of refrigeration compressors, gas compressors, gas turbines, diesel engines and large gearboxes and transmissions. We also provide aftermarket pumps for many brands of equipment whose OEM pumps are problematic or are difficult to obtain replacements.
