Additives

Positive displacement pumps are particularly well-suited for transferring additives due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and maintain a consistent flow rate, even under varying pressure conditions. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and displacing it through the pump's discharge, which ensures precise and accurate dosing of additives. This level of control is crucial when dealing with substances that require consistent and accurate quantities to ensure the desired chemical reaction or product quality.

Convert Pump from Behind the Rotor to Stuffing Box Component Mechanical Seal - 4127C & 4227C Series™

In this video we will guide you through the conversion from a behind the rotor seal to a component mechanical stuffing box seal in Viking Pump's stainless-steel pumps - with U-Plus™ bracket and ProPort™ casing.
This video applies to these pump models:
H4127C, HL4127C, K4127C, KK4127C, L4127C, LL4127C, H4227C, HL4227C, K4227C, KK4227C, L4227C, LL4227C

To begin, remove the stainless-steel window guards from the bracket.

Next, bend up the tang of the lock washer.

Place a brass or hardwood bar into the port opening to keep the pump from turning.

How do you connect a pump to a motor? Here are FOUR common drive types

In a previous Pump Report Chad discussed the motors used to power pumps. But how do you connect a pump to that motor? And what if you want to run the pump slower than motor speed? In this episode Chad talks about drives and their related equipment. 

The term “drive” is used to describe the ancillary equipment used to mount and power a pump. This includes the motor, which we’d already discussed, but can also include a baseplate, coupling, guard, reducer, and more.
