Pumps handle harsh fluids
The LVP range of pumps is designed to provide smooth, nonpulsating, low-shear flows and offer superior suction lift capability and a reversible direction of flow.
Viking LVP stainless steel vane pumps suit applications involving the transfer of corrosive or thin liquids at high pressures The LVP series from Michael Smith Engineers suits chemicals or liquefied gases Vanes extend from slots in the pump rotor and help to 'sweep' liquid through a cam-shaped cavity

Reliable pumps deliver smooth flows
The I-Drive pump includes a brushless DC motor with no moving parts and an electronic controller.
This ensures very low slip and high volumetric efficiency at all points on the performance curve, which contributes to a longer pump life and low life-cycle cost.
The LVP range of pumps is designed to provide smooth, nonpulsating, low-shear flows and offer superior suction lift capability, short-term dry-run capability, capacity proportional to speed and a reversible direction of flow.
LPV pumps are manufactured with surface hardened stainless steel casings as standard and feature a hardened chrome oxide coated shaft which turns within a silicone carbide sleeve bearing.
The pump's self-adjusting, solid PEEK plastic vanes and push rods provide superior vacuum capabilities.
To ensure easy installation the pumps have standard ports to enable simple fitting of gauges or transducers, top-mounted adjustable pressure relief valves, which eliminates the expense of return-to-tank systems.
A rotatable casing with motor mount option on the two smallest models in the range permits either horizontal or vertical porting.
