Discover how a major chocolate producer eliminated leakage and reduced maintenance costs using Viking Pump’s O-Pro® Barrier technology.

Viking Pump’s new generation of pumps (sizes H-QS in steel and stainless steel) offer a wide array of benefits that the previous alloy pumps could not, particularly in the area of sealing flexibility. These new pumps increase the number of sealing options possible in one pump, while at the same time reducing cost and lead times.  

Viking Pump invented, patented and manufactured the very first sealless mag drive rotary positive displacement (PD) pumps in the world, and developed several series over time for different applications, including the first generation 825, 895 and 855 ™ internal gear pumps.

Of these first generation mag drive pumps, all had different footprints from their dynamically-sealed cousins with...

There are really four main types of suppliers of hygienic, or sanitary pumps for food and pharmaceutical applications. There is no best source for everyone – each has advantages and disadvantages depending on your situation and budget. Here are some points to consider when choosing where to source your pumps.

In the early 20th century industrial innovation was accelerating. And as Henry Ford developed his Model T and the Wright Brothers were unlocking the secrets to manned flight, a Danish immigrant named Jens Nielsen was working on an invention of his own. Nielsen’s internal gear pump was intended to be used to lift water from his quarry but soon others found uses for his pump and the Viking Pump® company was formed.

At Viking Pump, innovation is at the forefront of what we do. With the introduction of the U-Plus™ Bracket and ProPort™ Casing, we are redefining the capabilities of our internal gear pumps. These advancements are not just about new technology; they are about providing flexibility and efficiency in your pumping process. Let’s dive into what makes these innovations stand out.

Viking Pump’s new generation of internal gear pumps offer a wide array of benefits that the previous alloy pumps could not, particularly in the area of porting flexibility. These new pumps reduced the number of casing configurations, which helps reduce manufacturing complexity, cost and lead times, while at the same time increasing the number of porting options and providing greater porting flexibility.

As a masterclass in engineering design and manufacturing flexibility, Viking Pump has re-designed its heavy-duty alloy pumps, both steel and stainless steel, in the most ingenious ways. These new models reduce price and lead time by significantly reducing the number of casings and brackets for manufacturing simplification, while simultaneously providing more options for porting and shaft sealing, all while adding many great new standard features.
