Let's start in Utah. Soaps and detergents are viscous and corrosive - making them perfect applications for Viking pumps. These include dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, and hand soaps just to name a few. Many are liquids, but some are powder slurries which are then dried into powder or compressed into tablets for easier handling.
A key advantage of rotary positive displacement pumps is providing consistent flow regardless of changes in liquid viscosity or differential pressure. But should a downstream blockage occur, pressure will rapidly build and may exceed the rating of the pump, drive equipment, system, or any combination thereof, with the potential for damage and unplanned downtime. For this reason, overpressure protection must be used, and pressure relief valves are the most commonly used form of overpressure protection for rotary positive displacement pumps.

Viking Pump invented the internal gear pump in the early 20th century; but did you know that we carry various other pump technologies? Most of them are easily identifiable based on their shape. But one common mistake that we see is confusing a lobe pump and a circumferential piston pump. So what exactly are the differences and advantages of circumferential piston pump technology (CPP)?
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.
Having a great product, with a great reputation, and being a technology inventor like Viking Pump®, positions you as a market leader with high visibility. As such, other internal gear pump manufacturers naturally want to follow in your footsteps. While that is a huge compliment, it also causes confusion among internal gear pump buyers.
In this article we'll walk through 5 reasons you'll want to stick with genuine Viking Pump parts and products, saving you time, money, and a headache.
Viscosity is a measure of a liquid’s resistance to flow. And you don’t need to work in a laboratory to observe this. Anyone who’s spent any time in the kitchen has observed a variety of liquids with a wide variety of viscosities.
Flange standards used on Viking pumps have been in place for over a century so EVERYONE should be experts on this now…right? It turns out not so much. There are various standards and various design differences in each standard. AND the standards have evolved over the years, leading some to use obsolete terms which only compounds the confusion. The following should help clear up some of this confusion as well as give you a resource to help answer questions for others.
Customers don’t ask me to listen to quiet pumps. This is symptom #1 of a cavitating pump. The pump is loud. Descriptors like “growly”, “rumbling”, or “gravelly” are used to describe the atypically loud sound coming from the pump.
“Does it always sound like this?” I ask.
“No, it was fine in the fall, but it’s been loud all winter.”
The Classic+ Series™ features a stainless-steel casing and rotors that are finished to 3A sanitary standards. The modular design can be easily disassembled for both clean-in-place and clean-out-of-place processes. Cusps in the casing's profile maximize efficiency and draining." This series has timed, non-contacting rotors - which minimize shear while providing extended dry run capability.
Creams are typically used for personal cosmetic and topical medical treatments. Physical properties and chemistry can vary greatly depending on the cream's base and the added ingredients. Some creams can be petroleum based - while others may be emulsions suspended in water - and are usually shear-thinning. Viking Pumps can be found in a number of different parts of cream production and processing, including tanker truck unloading, product transfer, ingredient dosing, and finished product transfer. Viking Pump's 4127A Series™ is 316 stainless steel and has cartridge lipseal options.
