Soy and Corn Oil Pumping Solutions

Soy and corn oils are similar to other edible oils, including palm, peanut, and sunflower oils. The three main processes for producing these oils are extraction, refining, and blending. Viking pumps are typically found in byproduct applications related to the processing of edible oils. These include gums, soap stock, and free fatty acid distillates - as well as product transfer, blending, and loadout operations. Viking Pump's 4124A Series™ is cast iron and has high temperature and abrasive resistant material options.

Edible Oil Solutions

Edible oils help keep the world fed - at home cooks and professional chefs use them for frying, baking, and every other type of cooking or food preparation! Viking pumps have been used in the production of edible oils for decades. Edible oils are fatty liquids that are extracted from many different types of vegetables and seeds including: olives, canola, and sesame. Blends of these oils are typically referred to as simply "vegetable" oil. The 4124A & 4324A Series™ are cast iron pumps and can handle high temperatures and have abrasive resistant material options.

Current and Flow: An electrical engineer’s guide to the concepts of fluid systems

Search Description

Unlike most of my colleagues I didn’t start out with a mechanical background.  While they were studying kinetics and machine design, I was studying digital electronics and industrial power.  When I started my career in the world of pumps, I had to learn a whole new set of concepts.  What was surprising was that while the terminology may be a bit different, the concepts are very similar.  Think of the following as a “Rosetta Stone” for translating the common terms and concepts of fluid systems to your more familiar terms and concepts of electrical systems.
