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