Out of all of the applications where you can find a Viking pump, chocolate may be the most delicious. Viking pumps are the pump of choice for the processing, transfer, and recirculation of chocolate. The chocolate production process can be simply described with these steps: cacao beans are roasted and ground, then mixed with oils into a semi-liquid. This early stage is known as "bitter" chocolate. From here, sugar can be added to make "sweet" chocolate - milk can be added for "milk" chocolate - and if the chocolate has been thinned down is called chocolate liquor.

Black liquor soap is a natural byproduct that separates from black liquor during the kraft wood pulping process used to make paper products. The soap is skimmed off and used to make tall oil. Black liquor soap can be abrasive and have varying viscosities making it a challenge to pump and seal. The cast iron 1124A Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Barrier seal, which virtually eliminates the leaking and mess associated with packed pumps. These pumps are constructed with hardened materials and have capacities up to 400 gallons per minute.

High fructose corn syrup is a product of hydrolyzed corn starch and is made up of varying ratios of glucose and fructose. High fructose corn syrup has many desirable traits - including serving as a sweetener and humectant in baking applications. When baking breads, buns, rolls, and yeast raised donuts, it ferments directly without the need for sugar inversion - the chemical conversion of saccharose into glucose and fructose. The cast iron 1224A Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Barrier seal - which prevents leakage.

Lecithin is a mixture of triglycerides, fatty acids, and carbohydrates and is typically derived from soy bean oil - but can also be obtained from egg yolks, corn, and other vegetable seeds. Lecithin ranges in viscosity up to 5,000 SSU, but may be more viscous depending on the make-up and temperature.
 Lecithin has a low solubility in water which makes it an excellent emulsifying agent - allowing for its use in margarine, chocolate, and other confectionery products as a non-sticking agent.

Detergents are a blend of liquid surfactants with other powdered materials - meant to improve cleaning performance. These blends are referred to as detergent slurry. Technical elements aside, detergents can be used for many things - like cleaning laundry and dishes, removing carpet stains, stabilizing fuels, and more. The 4127C Series™ are 316 stainless steel pumps with cartridge lipseal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ come with Viking Pump's own O-Pro® Guard seal which virtually eliminates leakage and is resistant to abrasives.

Creams are typically used for personal cosmetic and topical medical treatments. Physical properties and chemistry can vary greatly depending on the cream's base and the added ingredients. Some creams can be petroleum based - while others may be emulsions suspended in water - and are usually shear-thinning. Viking Pumps can be found in a number of different parts of cream production and processing, including tanker truck unloading, product transfer, ingredient dosing, and finished product transfer. Viking Pump's 4127A Series™ is 316 stainless steel and has cartridge lipseal options.

Les résines peuvent être utilisées dans de nombreux produits tels que les polyuréthanes, les époxydes et autres adhésifs.
La série 1124A™ est en fonte et dispose du joint d'étanchéité O-Pro® de Viking Pump, qui résiste aux abrasifs. La série 1124A™ a de faibles capacités de cisaillement et une capacité allant jusqu'à 400 gallons par minute.
La série 4624B™ est également en fonte avec des matériaux trempés standard et de nombreuses options d'étanchéité différentes. Cette série a une capacité allant jusqu'à 180 gallons par minute.

Quats are derived from oils and fats. These raw ingredients are further processed into long chain hydrocarbons and amines - which are the building blocks of quats. Most notably used in disinfectants, quats can also be used as surfactants, in fabric softeners, and shampoo. The 4127C Series™ are stainless steel pumps with cartridge lip seal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Guard seal - designed for sealing abrasive liquids. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute.

Waxes can be natural secretions of plants or animals, such as beeswax, or by-products of petroleum refining. Paraffin and microcrystalline waxes are refining by-products of different types of crude oils, or different fractions of individual crudes.
These different types of waxes can be found in a number of products - including packaging, mold release, polishes, candles, cosmetics, and many more.
1224A-BXB Series™ pumps are jacketed, cast iron pumps that feature the O-Pro® barrier seal - which prevents leakage. These pumps have capacities up to 200 gallons per minute.

Edible oils help keep the world fed - at home cooks and professional chefs use them for frying, baking, and every other type of cooking or food preparation! Viking pumps have been used in the production of edible oils for decades. Edible oils are fatty liquids that are extracted from many different types of vegetables and seeds including: olives, canola, and sesame. Blends of these oils are typically referred to as simply "vegetable" oil. The 4124A & 4324A Series™ are cast iron pumps and can handle high temperatures and have abrasive resistant material options.
