Utilization of Viking Pumps

Viking pumps are widely used in applications where precise metering, constant output, and smooth flow are crucial. Here’s how the industrial machinery are utilized:

Metering Applications

Viking’s positive displacement pumps excel in metering applications due to their unique features:

  • Constant Capacity Regardless of Pressure: These pumps maintain a consistent output regardless of changes in pressure, ensuring precise metering.
  • Flow Proportional to Speed: The pump's output is directly linked to its speed, allowing for precise control in metering applications using variable-speed drives.
  • Reversible Flow: Viking pumps can reverse the flow direction, making them versatile for loading and unloading tasks when used with reversible drivers.

Advantages of Viking Pumps

Viking pumps offer several advantages over other types of pumps:

  • Smooth, Near-Laminar Flow: Unlike reciprocating PD pumps, Viking rotary pumps provide smooth, non-pulsating flow. This reduces friction loss, cavitation, and water hammer while mixing fluids.
  • Self-Priming and Suction Lift Capabilities: Viking pumps can self-prime when wet and pull a suction lift, even when a positive suction head is unavailable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Viking Pump operates a foundry, a 250,000+ sq. ft. machining, assembly and testing center, and an extensive product engineering and testing lab in its world headquarters in Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA. This level of vertical integration ensures maximum quality, ability to satisfy special needs, and to meet project schedules.

Industrial pumps are pumps used in more general applications like all varieties of refined fuels & lubricants, resins & polymers, alcohols & solvents, asphalt & bitumen, polyurethane foam, food products, paints & inks, soaps & surfactants, and heat transfer fluids.

Viking Pump's positive displacement pumps displace liquid with each revolution of the internal pumping elements. This is done by trapping liquid between the pumping elements and a stationary casing. Depending on the application, a pump may need to be jacketed or electrically heated in order to keep a warm ambient temperature inside the pump to prevent the product from solidifying.

The price of a Viking industrial pump can span from as low as $500 to as high as $250,000. The price is largely dependent on the size and application in which it is being used. This is why our Viking experts work directly with you to evaluate your specific need so that we can recommend the pump that will give you the best return on your investment.

Viking industrial products are sold through our reliable distribution channel around the world. These distributors are trained in our product and can help install and service your pump. Find your area distributor by visiting https://www.vikingpump.com/contact.

Specifications can be found on the pump pages after clicking on the pump of interest. Additional specifications can be find in our related literature and catalog sections, also available on the pump pages.

We offer 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 also have low shear to protect your liquids and a smooth, non-pulsating flow for accurate measurement or metering.

Many of our models come with our patented O-Pro® Seal which dramatically reduces leaks. O-Pro® Seals utilize a series of O-rings to create a robust seal and lubrication chamber, all in one. O-Pro® Barrier seal functions as both a seal and bracket bushing; O-Pro® Cartridge & Guard seals are simple retrofit options. This means a safe, clean environment for your staff and money saved from lost product.
