50 States / 50 Pumping Applications: New Mexico, Massachusetts, Alaska, Kansas, Oregon

Since our founding in 1911, Viking Pump has built over 7,000,000 pumps and supplied them to customers all over the world. These pumps handle the broadest range of liquids in the industry. We’ve prepared a listing of 50 Viking pump applications, tying each to a state where this application can commonly be found. In our fifth episode, let’s explore Viking Pump applications in New Mexico, Massachusetts, Alaska, Kansas, and Oregon.

Slowing Down Your Pump's Motor with a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD)

In a positive displacement pump, each rotation of the shaft and gears carries a fixed volume of liquid from the supply tank to the downstream piping. When paired with an AC induction motor, speed and flow are very consistent. But what if you want to CHANGE the flow? In this episode of the Pump Report, Chad discusses controlling your positive displacement pump's motor with a variable frequency drive - or VFD.

50 States / 50 Pumping Applications: Utah, New Hampshire, Maryland, Alabama, Oklahoma

Let's start in Utah. Soaps and detergents are viscous and corrosive - making them perfect applications for Viking pumps. These include dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and hand soaps just to name a few. Many are liquids, but some are powder slurries which are then dried into powder or compressed into tablets for easier handling.

Detergent Gel

Hygienic positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring detergent gel due to their ability to handle high viscosity fluids with precision and care, maintaining the quality and consistency of the product. These pumps operate by trapping fixed amounts of gel and moving it through the pump in a controlled manner, minimizing the risk of shear and ensuring smooth flow without compromising the structure of the detergent.

Cream (from Dairy)

Cream is a dairy product that is made by concentrating the fatty part of milk. It is used directly as a food product in different concentrations and also in production of butter, sour cream and other products.

Toothpaste

Toothpastes are used to keep teeth clean and healthy. It is abrasive to assist in breaking up plaque and usually features a fluoride compound to prevent tooth decay.

Toothpaste is made by combining water, binders and humectants, then gums and thickeners, then abrasives and therapeutic agents, usually fluoride, then flavoring agents, colorants, sweeteners and preservatives. The ingredients are mixed together to form a paste or gel, which is then packaged in tubes. The process may be batch or continuous.

Tomato

Tomato products are used in a wide range of processed foods. Pasta sauce, pizza toppings, tomato puree, soups, ketchup, relish, etc.

During processing, tomatoes are deposited into a flume for washing and sorting, steamed and peeled, and pulped to remove seeds and skins. At this point it may be chopped and canned, or turned into paste or sauces. For paste, pulp enters evaporators to remove water and concentrate it to 28-30% solids for “cold break,” used in ketchup and juice, or 36-38% solids, used for pasta and pizza sauces and canned tomato paste.

Sulphate Soap

Sulphate Soap is a by-product in the production of pulp in the paper processing industry. It is used in production of Tall Oil (Pine Oil), which may be refined into various value-added products.

Sugar Solution

A sugar solution is a syrup in which a sweetener such as sucrose is dissolved in water to form an easy-to-mix addition for food and beverage processors without having deal with undissolved sugars.
