Are Viking gear pumps reversible?

Yes, many Viking gear pumps can operate in both directions. This is beneficial for applications involving fluid recovery, tank emptying, or backflushing.

What maintenance is required for Viking gear pumps?

Routine maintenance includes checking for wear on gears and bushings, inspecting seals and gaskets, lubricating bearings if required, and ensuring there is no product buildup inside the pump.

Can Viking gear pumps handle abrasive or corrosive fluids?

Yes, with the correct material selection (e.g., stainless steel, hardened gears), Viking gear pumps can be used for fluids containing abrasives or corrosive chemicals. Always verify compatibility with the fluid to avoid premature wear.

What are Viking pumps used for?

Viking pumps are versatile internal gear pumps used for transferring a wide range of fluids, including oils, resins, chemicals, and viscous materials. They’re ideal for industries like food, chemical, and energy processing.

Are Viking pumps suitable for handling thick or viscous fluids?

Yes, Viking pumps are specifically designed to handle high-viscosity fluids efficiently. Their internal gear mechanism provides smooth, consistent flow even with heavy or abrasive liquids.

How do Viking pumps ensure leak-free operation?

Viking pumps use advanced sealing technologies and precision-machined components to minimise leaks. This ensures safe, clean, and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

What maintenance do Viking pumps require?

Viking pumps are built for low maintenance with minimal moving parts. Routine inspections, lubrication, and occasional seal or gear replacements are usually sufficient for long-term performance.

Why choose Viking pumps from Thomson Process?

Thomson Process offers genuine Viking pumps with expert technical guidance, installation support, and spare parts availability. We ensure every pump meets your exact process and reliability requirements.

What are isocyanate pumps used for?

Isocyanate pumps are designed to safely transfer and meter moisture-sensitive chemicals such as MDI and TDI used in polyurethane production, coatings, adhesives, and sealants. They ensure precise flow control and protect materials from contamination.

Why do isocyanate pumps need special sealing systems?

Isocyanates react with moisture, which can cause solidification or contamination. That’s why isocyanate pumps use advanced sealing technologies to prevent air and moisture ingress, ensuring safe and consistent operation.

Which industries commonly use isocyanate pumps?

These pumps are widely used in industries such as polyurethane manufacturing, automotive, construction materials, chemical processing, and coatings, where controlled and leak-free chemical handling is essential.

Can isocyanate pumps handle other reactive chemicals?

Yes. While primarily built for isocyanates, they can also handle other reactive or viscous chemicals with similar handling requirements, provided the materials of construction are compatible with the fluid.

How do I choose the right isocyanate pump for my process?

Selecting the right pump depends on the chemical properties, viscosity, temperature, and required flow rate. Thomson Process experts can assess your process needs and recommend a compatible, safe, and efficient solution.
