Viking pump buyers no longer have to rely on mechanical seals or packing for their pumps. Packing breaks down and needs to be replaced. Mechanical seals break down causing leaks. Both packing and mechanical seals require contact with the rotating shaft – which increases wear and tear on the shaft… and causes energy to be wasted in the form of friction.
Viking has developed the O-pro seals to create a robust seal and lubrication chamber all in one. The O‐Pro™ Barrier seal functions as both a seal and bracket bushing.
New Viking pumps can be purchased with O-Pro seals and Viking pumps already in service can be upgraded with an O-Pro seal kit for a simple field retrofit. Available from Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions today.
