Viking Gear Pumps
Viking gear pumps are positive-displacement pumps engineered for reliable and consistent fluid transfer. They operate by using two rotating gears, one drive gear and one idler gear, that mesh together to create a sealed cavity. As the gears rotate, fluid is drawn into the pump, trapped between the gear teeth and the pump casing, and moved around the outside of the gears from the inlet to the outlet.
This method allows for precise flow control and is especially effective for handling viscous liquids such as oils, syrups, and resins. Viking gear pumps are capable of operating at varying speeds, enabling flexible flow rates, which is valuable in applications where process conditions frequently change.
Their robust design and adaptability make them a trusted choice across industries requiring dependable, high-performance fluid handling. To know more, call us on +353 1 2750801 or WhatsApp +353 (0) 87 130 1029 to contact our expert and find the ideal Viking gear pump for your application.
