From Railcars to the Plant
Viking pumps are used throughout the soap manufacturing process. Raw ingredients like oils and fats are reliably transferred from railcars to the plant to keep your process moving.
Liquids like fatty acids, sulfonic acid, and glycerin are used in the saponification and sulfonation process involved with soap production. They are also challenging to pump due to propensity to solidify at low temperatures (fatty acids), wear away at pump internals due to its corrosive nature (sulfonic acid), or thicken up and cause clogging (glycerin).

Typical Applications
- Railcar unloading of feedstocks
- Transfer of process intermediaries
- Transfer of finished products
Superior Sealing Options
- Behind the rotor mechanical seal eliminates the shaft and bushing from being exposed to media
- Enhanced bearing housing allows easy installation of packing, component, and most cartridge mechanical seals without modification
Stainless Steel or Cast-Iron Construction
- Corrosion resistance over a wider pH range
- Rugged and reliable, yet economical
- Cast iron mounting bracket lowers overall pump cost
- Jacketed bracket provides the ability to maintain uniform temperature to sealing area
- Widest range of sizes and options available to suit almost any non-corrosive application
- Tightest clearances for high efficiency and excellent priming capability
