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.

Detergent Slurry

Positive displacement gear pumps are ideal for transferring detergent slurry due to their ability to handle viscous fluids with precision and efficiency. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing (displacing) it through the discharge pipe, maintaining a consistent flow rate regardless of the pressure conditions. This capability is crucial for detergent slurries, which often have a thick, viscous consistency.

Crude Oils

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring crude oils due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and maintain a consistent flow rate regardless of pressure changes. These pumps move a fixed amount of fluid with each cycle, making them effective at pumping thick, viscous liquids like crude oil. Additionally, they can generate high pressures, making them suitable for transferring oil over long distances or through pipelines with varying elevations.

Cooking Oils

Cooking oils are derived from oilseeds and include soybean oil, olive oil, canola (rapeseed) oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil and cottonseed oil, to name but a few. They are used for deep fat frying of vegetables and meats, as well as feedstocks for biofuels, oleochemicals and soaps and detergents. The viscosity is extremely temperature dependent, with some oils solidifying at room temperatures, but typically water-thin at higher temperatures.

Caulks

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for manufacturing caulks because they provide consistent and precise flow rates, which are crucial for ensuring the uniformity and quality of the final product. These pumps can handle high-viscosity materials like caulk without losing efficiency, making them well-suited for the thick, paste-like consistency of caulk. Additionally, positive displacement pumps offer excellent control over the pumping process, allowing manufacturers to maintain accurate proportions of ingredients in the formulation of caulks.

Asphalt Emulsions

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring asphalt emulsions due to their ability to handle high-viscosity fluids with precision and reliability. Unlike centrifugal pumps, which rely on high-speed rotation, positive displacement pumps move fluid by trapping a fixed amount in a chamber and then forcing it into the discharge pipe, ensuring a consistent flow regardless of pressure changes. This capability is essential for managing the thick, sticky nature of asphalt emulsions, which can pose challenges in maintaining a steady flow without degradation to the liquid mixture.

Ammonia

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring ammonia due to their precise flow control and ability to handle the fluid's unique properties. Ammonia is a volatile and corrosive substance, requiring careful handling to ensure safety and efficiency in industrial applications. Positive displacement pumps, such as gear pumps, provide a constant flow regardless of pressure variations, which is crucial for maintaining stability and efficiency in ammonia transfer processes.

Alcohols

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring alcohols due to their ability to handle a wide range of viscosities and their precision in delivering consistent flow rates regardless of the pressure conditions. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and forcing it through the discharge pipe, making them particularly effective in maintaining the integrity of volatile and sensitive fluids like alcohols. Additionally, their robust design reduces the risk of cavitation, ensuring that the alcohol is transported without undesirable frothing or turbulence.

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.
