Viking Pump's new line of Industrial Lobe pumps is designed to meet industrial application requirements for chemicals, paper coatings, textile dyes, automotive paints, resins and coatings, latex, polymers, sugars, starches, and cellulose acetate. This new pump series is offered in two-bushing models, with pressure range of up to 225 psi, and four-bushing designs, which feature shaft support on both sides of the rotors to provide up to 400 psi. With capacities up to 820 gpm, the bi-wing rotor design ensures high volumetric efficiency and provides solids handling capability, yet maintains the product integrity of shear-sensitive fluids.
Sealing flexibility allows these pumps to accept packing, component mechanical seals, cartridge-style single and double mechanical seals, and lip seals from major manufacturers. The 1.875" and 3" seal sizes are readily available, and seals may be installed from either the lobe end or the drive end of the pump.
With a stainless steel design, Industrial Lobe pumps are easy to maintain, with simplified timing and rotary end clearance adjustments without shims. They also provide flexibility in the ports with enlarged suction areas, and the ability to reverse the direction of flow. For more information, contact Viking, 406 State St, Cedar Falls IA 50613-0008.
