When it comes to transferring thin, non-lubricating liquids like surfactants and detergent slurries, the Viking Pump 4127C Series™ stands out as a reliable and efficient solution. Built with precision and durability in mind, this series is specifically designed to handle the challenges posed by low-viscosity fluids that lack lubricity—common in cleaning product manufacturing.

A key feature of the 4127C Series™ is its use of non-galling stainless steel for idler gears. This advanced material allows the pump to operate smoothly against 316 stainless steel components without the risk of galling, even under demanding conditions. The result is longer service life, reduced maintenance, and consistent performance in applications where traditional stainless steel components may fail.

Whether you're metering surfactants into a blend tank, transferring soap from a day tank, or handling detergent slurry in a crutcher system, the 4127C Series™ delivers the flow control, chemical compatibility, and mechanical resilience needed to keep your process running efficiently.

For many soap processing applications, especially those involving lubricating or moderately viscous fluids, the Viking Pump 4124A Series™ offers a rugged and economical solution. Constructed from cast iron, this series is ideal for handling raw materials like plant oils, animal fats, and saponified mixtures where corrosion resistance is less critical and mechanical durability is paramount.

Cast iron pumps like the 4124A Series™ are particularly well-suited for:

• Bulk transfer of triglycerides from storage tanks

• Saponification and neutralization processes where soap and glycerine are produced

• Blending operations involving lubricating greases or thickeners

The 4124A Series™ combines Viking’s proven internal gear design with robust cast iron construction, delivering reliable performance in environments where stainless steel may be unnecessary or cost-prohibitive. For operations seeking a balance of durability, affordability, and consistent flow control, the 4124A Series™ is a smart choice.

In applications involving soaps, surfactants, and detergent slurries, effective shaft sealing is critical to maintaining process integrity and minimizing maintenance. Viking Pump’s O-Pro® Guard Seal offers a robust, cost-effective solution designed specifically for challenging fluids—especially those that are thin, non-lubricating, or prone to leakage.

The O-Pro® Guard Seal uses a series of O-rings to create a barrier that protects against product leakage and shaft wear. This design is particularly beneficial in soap and detergent slurry applications, where traditional packing or mechanical seals may struggle with chemical compatibility or fluid viscosity.

Key Advantages:

• Leak Prevention: Provides reliable sealing for low-viscosity and non-lubricating fluids.

• Reduced Maintenance: Minimizes wear on the shaft and internal components, extending pump life.

• Simplified Installation: Easier to install and maintain compared to complex mechanical seals.

• Cost Efficiency: Offers a durable sealing solution without the higher cost of cartridge seals.

For manufacturers seeking dependable sealing performance in soap and surfactant processing, the O-Pro® Guard Seal is a smart upgrade that enhances pump reliability and reduces downtime.
