Viking Pump’s industrial gear pumps are the premiere positive displacement pump technology that covers nearly every pumping need.

With construction options that have been proven to work for light, medium, and heavy-duty applications, the versatility and popularity of positive displacement pumps lie in their relatively simple design, high efficiency, and consistent flow rates.

Hot Melt

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for manufacturing hot melt due to their ability to handle highly viscous materials and maintain a consistent flow rate, which is essential in the production processes that require precise application and distribution. Unlike centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps are not affected by changes in viscosity, ensuring that hot melt adhesives and materials are delivered accurately and with minimal pulsation. This precision helps in maintaining the quality and performance of hot melt products, reducing waste and inefficiencies.

High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS)

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for processing high fructose corn syrup due to their ability to handle high-viscosity fluids with precision and consistency. These pumps operate by trapping pockets of fluid between the gear teeth and the pump casing, enabling a smooth and continuous flow regardless of changes in pressure or viscosity. This is particularly important for high fructose corn syrup, which is thick and sticky, requiring a pump that can maintain a steady output without causing shear or degradation of the product.

Greases

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring greases in manufacturing because they handle high-viscosity fluids effectively. These pumps trap a set amount of grease, forcing it through the discharge pipe to ensure a steady flow, even with system pressure changes. This makes them especially good for thick greases that resist flow in situations where other pumps might fail. Gear pumps have simple mechanisms that reduce shear and turbulence, maintaining the grease's performance qualities.

Glycerol/Glycerin

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for manufacturing glycerol and glycerin due to their ability to handle viscous fluids efficiently while maintaining a steady and precise flow rate. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing (displacing) it into the discharge pipe, which makes them particularly suitable for the high viscosity and shear-sensitive nature of glycerol and glycerin.

Edible Oils

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring edible oils due to their precise flow control, efficiency, and gentle handling of viscous fluids. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid between the gear teeth and the pump casing, delivering consistent flow regardless of variations in pressure, making them perfect for the stable transfer of delicate edible oils. Their ability to handle varying viscosities without shearing or degrading the oil ensures the preservation of quality and nutritional value.
