Smooth, low-pulse positive displacement
pumps
Michael Smith Engineers has introduced a range of positive displacement pumps from Viking Pump which transfer fluids with smooth, low-pulse output.
An extensive range of positive displacement pumps from Viking Pump, which transfer fluids with smooth, low-pulse output and handle capacities up to 345m3/hr and differential pressures to 103m bar, is the latest addition to the Michael Smith Engineers range of pumps Viking pumps use their extensive fluid handling knowledge and application expertise to ensure their pumps meet the demands of some of the most challenging applications

Displacement pumps handle difficult media
Sealless positive displacement pumps move clean, dirty, hot, high pressure, low pressure, thick, gooey, abrasive and flammable fluids under arduous conditions.
Vane pumps transfer HP corrosive liquids
Stainless steel vane pumps 'sweep' high pressure, corrosive or thin liquid through a cam-shaped cavity to ensures very low slip and high volumetric efficiency.
Centrifugal pumps handle corrosive liquids
Plastics magnet-drive centrifugal pumps, made in polypropylene or PVDF, handle hazardous, corrosive liquids at flow rates up to 27m3/h and heads up to 27m.
The Viking Pump range includes a broad selection of pumping technologies and product designs, including internal gear pumps, external gear pumps, lobe pumps and vane pumps, which help users to achieve the best performance from their process systems.
Key features include a wide choice of wetted materials, constant capacity regardless of discharge pressure, flow proportional to speed, ability to reverse flow direction and smooth, near laminar low pulse output.
Other benefits include the capability to self-prime with suction lift, a huge variety of seal options, low shear rates, maximum displacement for efficient operation, long-service life and integral relief valve protection on most designs.
Sealed and sealless configurations are available, as are close coupled and direct coupled options.
Thanks to the wide range of models, materials and design options Viking pumps are suitable for many applications across a broad range of industries including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, biotechnology, OEM, finishing, agriculture, refrigeration, printing and pulp and paper.
Potential for specific pumping duties therefore includes, clean lubricating liquids, corrosive, toxic or hazardous fluids, abrasive liquids, low and high viscosity liquids and even liquids containing solids.
