Resins Pumping Solution

 

With over 110 years of positive displacement pumping experience, Viking Pump® knows all about high viscosity fluids.

 

Resins are high viscosity liquids with potentially shear sensitive (thinning) components, and made up of solvents, waxes, surfactants, and semi-solid resin particles all with various chemical compatibility concerns. These resins can be used in polyurethanes, epoxies and other adhesives. In some cases, resins contain pigments that bring with them abrasive wear concerns.

Gear Pump Selection

The pump type for your viscous application matters. When it comes to thick liquids, gear pumps are hands down the perfect solution to keep your product moving.

Gear pumps, a type of positive displacement pump, aren't affected by upstream pressure changes. They have adjustable clearances as a standard that enables handling viscosities from 28 to 2,000,000 SSU (1 to 440,00 cSt). Our internal gear products are low-shearing to protect your liquids and a smooth, non-pulsating flow for accurate measurement or metering.

Typical Applications

 

Viking pumps are used in wide variety of resin handling applications. In most cases Viking pumps will be used for transfer and blending applications. Metering applications are also common. Pay close attention to run speed and operating temperature, as many resins are thermosetting. As such, often times abrasive resistant sealing options should also be considered.

 

Typical applications include:

Epoxy Resins

Phenolic Resins

Acrylic Resins

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.
