Black liquor soap is a natural byproduct that separates from black liquor during the kraft wood pulping process used to make paper products. The soap is skimmed off and used to make tall oil. Black liquor soap can be abrasive and have varying viscosities making it a challenge to pump and seal. The cast iron 1124A Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Barrier seal, which virtually eliminates the leaking and mess associated with packed pumps. These pumps are constructed with hardened materials and have capacities up to 400 gallons per minute.

Lecithin is a mixture of triglycerides, fatty acids, and carbohydrates and is typically derived from soy bean oil - but can also be obtained from egg yolks, corn, and other vegetable seeds. Lecithin ranges in viscosity up to 5,000 SSU, but may be more viscous depending on the make-up and temperature.
 Lecithin has a low solubility in water which makes it an excellent emulsifying agent - allowing for its use in margarine, chocolate, and other confectionery products as a non-sticking agent.

Quats are derived from oils and fats. These raw ingredients are further processed into long chain hydrocarbons and amines - which are the building blocks of quats. Most notably used in disinfectants, quats can also be used as surfactants, in fabric softeners, and shampoo. The 4127C Series™ are stainless steel pumps with cartridge lip seal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ features Viking Pump's O-Pro® Guard seal - designed for sealing abrasive liquids. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute.

Detergents are a blend of liquid surfactants with other powdered materials - meant to improve cleaning performance. These blends are referred to as detergent slurry. Technical elements aside, detergents can be used for many things - like cleaning laundry and dishes, removing carpet stains, stabilizing fuels, and more. The 4127C Series™ are 316 stainless steel pumps with cartridge lipseal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ come with Viking Pump's own O-Pro® Guard seal which virtually eliminates leakage and is resistant to abrasives.

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.

Waxes can be natural secretions of plants or animals, such as beeswax, or by-products of petroleum refining. Paraffin and microcrystalline waxes are refining by-products of different types of crude oils, or different fractions of individual crudes.
These different types of waxes can be found in a number of products - including packaging, mold release, polishes, candles, cosmetics, and many more.
1224A-BXB Series™ pumps are jacketed, cast iron pumps that feature the O-Pro® barrier seal - which prevents leakage. These pumps have capacities up to 200 gallons per minute.

Soaps are a group of cleaning chemicals derived from plant oils or animal fats - they help to dissolve dirt and other particles so that they can be carried away by water. There are many different types of soap…like liquid soap, rosin soap, and castile soap…and they each come with their own properties. The 4127C Series™ is stainless steel and has cartridge lip seal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. 4124A Series™ pumps are cast iron and have cartridge lip seal options. Bushing material can be adjusted to meet process needs.

Surfactants are a group of synthetic chemicals engineered to reduce the surface tension of the liquid in which they are dissolved. What this means is that they can help break down oils and hold dirt or other particles in suspension. Surfactants are used in many household products like toothpaste, shampoo, and laundry detergent. The 4127C Series™ are 316 stainless steel pumps with cartridge lip seal options. They have capacities up to 320 gallons per minute. The stainless steel 1127C Series™ come with Viking Pump's own O-Pro® Guard seal to help minimize leakage and resist abrasives.

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 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.
