Viking Pump’s industrial gear pumps are the premiere positive displacement pump technology that covers nearly every pumping need.

With construction options that have been proven to work for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications, the versatility and popularity of positive displacement pumps lie in their relatively simple design, high efficiency, and consistent flow rates.

Quick Tip: Modifying Knock Out Window Guards on a Viking Pump

Welcome. In this Quick Tip video, we will show you how to modify and install the knockout style stainless steel window guards on a Viking Pump.
In order to accommodate grease zerks, drain lines, or other fittings window guards may need to be modified. To do this, first dry fit the window guard to identify which knockout section needs to be removed.
Wedge a flat screw driver into the knockout and rock the piece back and forth to fatigue the joints. Ensure to wear hand and eye protection.

How Do Lip Seals Work in Pumps?

Lip seals are a simple, economical, and compact sealing solution.
Their narrow profile makes them easy to fit into small pumps and tight spaces.
A lip seal consists of a flexible elastomeric lip held in a rigid housing. The lip seal is stationary — while the shaft rotates inside.
An inboard spring helps energize the lip — keeping it in constant contact with the rotating shaft, maintaining the seal.
An outboard lip — called a wiper — prevents contaminants in the outside environment from entering the pump.

Change from a behind the rotor mechanical seal to a stuffing box seal in a Viking Pump

To begin, remove the stainless-steel window guards from the bracket.
Next, bend up the tang of the lock washer.
Place a brass or hardwood bar into the port opening to keep the pump from turning.
Loosen and remove the locknut. Remove and discard the lock washer.
Loosen the bearing housing set screws.
Loosen and remove the bearing housing. 
Remove the bearing spacer collar. The collar may have come out with the bearing housing.
Remove the half round rings.
Loosen and remove the head cap screws.

How to pump industrial adhesives

What exactly are adhesives? And how do you pump them? Adhesives are substances, like cement or glue, that hold materials together by surface attachment. They are made from materials such as latex, silicones, and starch. Their viscosities range from water thin to extremely viscous. And some are shear sensitive. Adhesives are used in a number of different applications including: cardboard box manufacturing, plywood, paper bags, and industries like automotive and printing. So what's required to pump the various types of adhesives?

What pumps to use for Asphalt Emulsions

What are asphalt emulsions? And how do you pump them?
An asphalt emulsion is asphalt suspended in a mixture of water or other liquids. This makes applying the asphalt easier. Emulsions can be shear-sensitive and must be handled with care.
Asphalt emulsions are typically used in crack filling, coating roadways, or as a waterproofing substance.
So what's required to pump asphalt emulsions?
Shear sensitivity makes internal gear pumps ideal—their smooth, non-pulsating flow maintains the emulsion.

Pump History: 4 Generations of Viking Pumps and Engineering Excellence

The first generation of these pumps were engineered in the 1940s for truck-mounted applications. They were bolted to the chassis and driven off the PTO. That harsh environment established design features that would define the product line: a footed mounting bracket, a rotatable casing, and a thrust bearing housing for precise end clearance adjustment. The second generation saw a change to the bearing housing (while maintaining the same bearings) and an expanded range of sizes, material-specific model numbers and the offering of integrally jacketed versions.
