Quick Tip: Change Port Sizes or Types with ProPort™ Casing

In this Quick Tip video, we will show you how to switch between flange sizes or port types on Viking Pump’s internal gear pumps with the ProPort™ casing.

First, loosen and remove the capscrews securing the existing flange.

Remove the flange.

Remove and discard the gasket or o-ring from the casing.

Repeat for the second flange.

Next, ensure the sealing glands near the casing ports are clean and free of debris.

Flanges or NPT ports can be installed using o-rings or gaskets, depending on process needs.

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.
