MARKET FOCUS

SUGAR CANE & BEET MILLS

Molasses is a byproduct of the sugar manufacturing process produced from sugar cane and sugar beets. It is defined as the syrupy mother liquor left after sucrose has been removed from the cane juice or green juice by concentration. If only one crop of crystals has been removed, it is called A Molasses. If the second crop has been removed, the product is called B Molasses. When no more sugar can be extracted, it is called Final Molasses or Low Raw Molasses, aka Black Strap Molasses.

VIKING IN THE PROCESS:

​​​​​​​

Viking pumps play an integral part in the production of sugar, transferring molasses and syrups throughout the process. Pumps in these applications see a range of viscosities based on the specific application. The last step in the process is the transfer of final molasses to storage tanks where it can be loaded onto rail cars, tanker trucks and even pipelines for distribution

 

O-PRO® BARRIER SEAL TECHNOLOGY

​​​​​​​

HOW IT WORKS

  • Replaces packing or mechanical seal by occupying the internal bracket cavity with a machined seal gland
  • Utilizes O-rings to seal externally on the bracket and internally on the shaft.
  • A combination of O-rings and lubricating fluid provide a robust seal preventing process fluid from leaking out of the pump.
  • Contains lubrication between the shaft and bushing reducing wear.
