Viking Pumps Engineered for Grease ApplicationsViking Pumps designed for grease are used for varying grease applications:Unloading the raw materials of grease manufacturing from railcars or other transport to bulk storageBatch metering the component materials to stirred, jacketed reactors in batch processesContinuous metering components in continuous processes, and transfer of finished product to packagingCommon Grease additives can include:Petroleum or synthetic oils as a dispersion mediumSoaps or other thickeners as dispersed phaseAntioxidants, corrosion inhibitors, and anti-wear agents to provide specific properties required for the grease application.Jacketed pumps may be used for soap oil concentrates, which must be heated to over 200°C for high-temperature greases.Generally, mixtures of a mineral oil with one or more metallic soaps; the most common are those of sodium, calcium, barium, aluminum, lead, lithium, potassium, and zinc. The texture of grease may be smooth, buttery, ropy, fibrous, spongy, or rubbery. Viscosities range greatly. However, grease is extremely shear sensitive. Typically flow is aided by a follower-plate on the supply tank.Suggested Grease Pumps1224A SERIES™Cast IronO-Pro Barrier™ seal to virtually eliminate leaking& mess associated with traditional packed pumpsCapacities to 400 GPM1127A SERIES™316 Stainless SteelO-Pro™ Guard sealCapacities to 335 GPMSG SeriesCast IronAccurate metering of low viscosity additivesPressures >200 PSICapacities to 190 GPMDiscover the right Viking Pump solution for you.
