Cream Solutions

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.

Resin Pumping Solutions

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.

Quaternary Ammonium Compound Pumping Solutions

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.

Wax Pumping Solutions

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 Oil Solutions

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.

Surfactant Pumping Solutions

Surfactants are a group of synthetic chemicals engineered to reduce the surface tension of the liquid in which they are dissolved. What this means is that they can help break down oils and hold dirt or other particles in suspension. Surfactants are used in many household products like toothpaste, shampoo, and laundry detergent. The 4127C Series™ are 316 stainless steel pumps with cartridge lip seal 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 to help minimize leakage and resist abrasives.

Pressure Relief Valves: Critical to Pump and System Safety and Reliability

Search Description

A key advantage of rotary positive displacement pumps is providing consistent flow regardless of changes in liquid viscosity or differential pressure. But should a downstream blockage occur, pressure will rapidly build and may exceed the rating of the pump, drive equipment, system, or any combination thereof, with the potential for damage and unplanned downtime. For this reason, overpressure protection must be used, and pressure relief valves are the most commonly used form of overpressure protection for rotary positive displacement pumps.
