Viking Pump, Inc. has introduced the “RS” series of 1,600 GPM pumps which the company claims can develop pressures to 200 PSI, operate with viscosities up to 2,000,000 SSU and function with fluids at temperatures from -120°F to 800°F. Models include the RS324A (cast iron), RS323A (steel) and RS327A (316 stainless steel).  
The company reports that the pump design features sealing options that include cartridge seals, component mechanical seals or packing, and allows changes in seal types in the field. The enlarged bearing housing provides in-line access to bearings and seals, and allows adjustment of end clearances.
 
Available jacketing options include the bracket, casing, flanges, head and relief valve. The jacketing areas allow for claimed rapid heating and faster startup using steam or hot oil. Fully jacketed, the RS provides uniform temperature control for your critical processes, and is suited for use in applications including asphalt, chemical, oilseed and petroleum processing, rubber, resins, coatings and adhesives.
