Welcome to the Viking Pump foundry in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where we’ve been at the forefront of manufacturing gear pumps for decades. Our foundry is a cornerstone of our vertical integration capabilities, allowing us to produce castings and parts at speed.
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 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’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.
For pumps, this is hollow space where the rotating shaft enters the stationary pump housing. While the term originated from shaft packing that was “stuffed” around the shaft to create a seal, today a pump’s stuffing box is often fitted with a mechanical seal, lip seal, or O-Pro® seal instead of packing.
Adaptable Viking Pump port design that offers a variety of port sizes and types, enabling flexibility when connecting pumps to piping.
A Viking Pump bracket engineered to accommodate various seal options including O-Pro® Guard seals, single component seals, cartridge lip seals, cartridge single and double mechanical seals. It also includes stainless steel window guards for protection from rotating parts.
All positive displacement pumps work by first expanding a cavity between the casing and one or more moving parts to create a partial vacuum, so atmospheric pressure can force liquid into the pumping chamber through the inlet port
Like any job, you need the proper tools to do it well – and the same is true for repairing or servicing positive displacement gear pumps. Below are helpful hand tools that Viking's pump experts recommend having ready for… read more.
