Viking Pump’s hygienic pumps offer the best efficiency and a wide range of porting, cleaning, and sealing options to meet your needs.
In a business where cleanliness is key to reduce cross-contamination, we offer CIP (clean in place), SIP (sterilize in place), and COP (clean out of place) pumps to save you time and effort.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a low calories sweetener and humectant used in food and beverage, confectionery, personal care, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical products. It has about 60% of the sweetness of sucrose (sugar).
Sorbitol is derived from glucose hydrolyzed from starches like potato and corn. It is commonly sold as a powder or as a 70% solution syrup with 110 cPs viscosity at 25ᵒC (77ᵒF). Specific gravity is 1.3, requiring attention to NPSHa, and pH is neutral to slightly acidic.
Shampoos are personal and pet care hygiene products used to remove and wash away dirt, oil and grime from hair. Some are medicinal, such as antiseborrheic, anti-bacterial or anti-fungal.
Most shampoos are 70% to 80% water, but the addition of rheological modifiers and other viscous ingredients increases their viscosity to 2,000 to 20,000 cPs, necessitating the use of positive displacement pumps. They are typically shear-thinning mixtures requiring low-shear pumping action. Shampoos are generally slightly acidic, lubricating liquids with pH in the range of 4.5 to 5.5.
A food product of ground meat, fillers and spices, often encased in a natural intestine or cellulosic or collagen skin to form a cylindrical casing, but also sold in bulk and as patties.
The term sauces covers a wide range of food products ranging from ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, apple sauce, gravies and many other condiments.
