In the asphalt industry, Viking Pump is widely recognized as a reliable solution for handling difficult pumping applications involving high-viscosity fluids, elevated temperatures, and continuous-duty operations. Asphalt is a challenging material because it thickens quickly when temperatures decrease, making transfer processes difficult if the wrong pump technology is selected. For this reason, many manufacturers, storage terminals, and infrastructure plants choose Viking Pump to improve system efficiency and reduce downtime.
With years of experience in industrial equipment supply, Tan Long is proud to provide Viking Pump (USA) solutions for customers in the asphalt sector. Our projects are designed to deliver long service life, stable performance, and lower long-term operating costs.
Common Challenges in Asphalt Pumping Systems
Asphalt is used extensively in road construction, waterproofing, roofing materials, and industrial coating processes. However, pumping asphalt is not as simple as pumping water or light oil. Businesses often encounter several technical problems during production, storage, and transfer.
1. High Viscosity Material
Asphalt becomes extremely thick at lower temperatures. This creates difficulties in suction, startup, and consistent transfer. Standard pumps may lose efficiency or fail completely when handling such viscous media.
2. Solidification in Pipelines
When the system stops operating or temperature drops unexpectedly, asphalt can harden inside pipes, valves, and pump chambers. This leads to blockages, time-consuming cleaning, and costly downtime.
3. High Temperature Stress
To remain pumpable, asphalt is usually heated. Continuous exposure to high temperatures can damage seals, gaskets, and internal components if the pump is not specifically designed for hot service.
4. Unstable Flow Rate
In blending systems or tank loading operations, inconsistent flow can negatively affect product quality, batching accuracy, and production schedules.
5. Frequent Maintenance Costs
Using unsuitable pumps often results in leakage, seal wear, bearing damage, and frequent shutdowns. These hidden costs can become significant over time.
Because of these issues, many plants invest in specialized asphalt pumps instead of conventional pump systems.
Why Viking Pump is Ideal for Asphalt Applications
Viking Pump is a leading American manufacturer known worldwide for high-performance internal gear pumps. Viking pumps are widely used in oil & gas, chemical processing, food manufacturing, polymers, and especially asphalt transfer applications.
1. Designed for High-Viscosity Fluids
Viking internal gear pumps are engineered to move thick liquids smoothly and efficiently. They maintain stable flow even when handling dense asphalt materials.
2. Excellent High-Temperature Capability
The robust construction and high-quality materials allow Viking Pump units to perform reliably in heated asphalt systems where temperature resistance is essential.
3. Jacketed Pump Options
Many Viking models are available with jacketed casings, allowing steam or thermal oil heating around the pump body. This helps maintain asphalt temperature and prevents hardening during shutdown periods.
4. Consistent and Accurate Flow
Stable flow delivery is important for blending lines, metering systems, and tank loading. Viking Pump helps ensure process consistency and improved product quality.
5. Long Service Life and Easy Maintenance
With a simple yet durable design, Viking pumps are easier to service and maintain. Spare parts availability also helps reduce repair time and plant interruptions.
