At Pye-Barker Engineered Solutions, we understand the critical role of pumps in heavy-duty industrial applications. That's why we're proud to offer Viking Universal Seal Internal Gear Pumps, meticulously designed to meet the demands of diverse pumping needs while ensuring reliability and low maintenance even in the most challenging environments.

Customization for Sugar Refineries: Optimizing Pumping Efficiency with Viking Universal Seal Internal Gear Pumps

Ribbed Idler Option for Pumping Magma Or Massecuite

In sugar refineries, precise pumping is essential. Our Viking Pump sugar pumps in GA can be tailored with various seal options and increased clearances to minimize shear, particularly crucial when handling solid particles like sugar crystals. The ribbed idler gear, a standout feature, significantly reduces gear-to-gear contact, safeguarding delicate solids and shear-sensitive liquids.

How Ribbed Idlers Improve Pump Performance

By strategically removing material from the idler gear teeth, Viking pumps minimize damage to solids and shear-sensitive liquids, ensuring consistent performance even in demanding conditions. The rib alternates position to mitigate wear, enhancing the lifespan of the pump components.

Minimizing Shear: Key for Shear-Sensitive Liquids

Shear Reduction Techniques

Shear poses challenges in applications involving two-phase slurries like massecuite, impacting conversion efficiency. Viking Universal Seal Internal Gear Pumps excel in minimizing shear, making them ideal for handling shear-sensitive liquids such as emulsions, suspensions, and polymers.

Selecting the Right Pump for Shear-Sensitive Liquids

To minimize shear, choosing a pump with extra clearances and running it at an optimal speed is crucial. Viking recommends a rotor rim speed of <300 feet/minute for most shear-sensitive liquids, ensuring efficient pumping without compromising product integrity.

Versatile Seal Options: Tailored Solutions for Every Need

Seal Options for Viking Pump Sugar Pumps

Seal selection is critical for ensuring leak-free operation and product integrity. Viking pumps offer a range of seal options to accommodate various viscosity levels and application requirements:

  • Packed Gland: Ideal for high-viscosity sugar liquids, offering simplicity and reliability.
  • Behind-the-Rotor Mechanical Seal: For applications where leakage is not permissible, mechanical seals provide a secure solution.
  • Cartridge Double Seal: Suitable for syrups and molasses, offering robust performance and leakage prevention.
  • Cartridge Triple Lip Seal: Designed for high-viscosity fluids, with limitations on abrasive handling.

Each seal option is meticulously engineered to deliver optimal performance, ensuring uninterrupted operation in diverse industrial settings.
