Viking Pump 1224A-CHC Series™ pumps are designed specifically for handling chocolate and related confectionery processes. These pumps are suitable for low hazard foods like chocolate according to each facility’s HACCP plan. They are not a hygienic design according to 3A or FDA, and are not suitable for services requiring CIP or COP.
RELIABILITY - 1224A-CHC1 models for chocolate liquids minimize frictional heat at bushings and prevent solids buildup that can cause seizing. The O-Pro™ Barrier Seal is lubricated with clean food-grade grease instead of chocolate, and keeps chocolate out of the bracket while providing superior shaft support; the extra-clearance idler gear and bushing are drilled to ensure flow between the bushing and pin to reduce heat; and flush and suckback grooves on the casing create flow behind the rotor to eliminate buildup. High-strength steel or ductile iron rotors handle high viscosities, and hardened iron bushings and hardened steel shafts minimize wear. There’s no packing to adjust, which eliminates common overtightening problems.
LESS PUMP & PART VARIATION The 1224A-CHC2 models for non-chocolate liquids are identical to CHC1, except the casing does not have flush and suckback grooves, for higher efficiency on thin liquids like cocoa butter. This reduces pump and spare part variation, and enables easy conversion from CHC1 to CHC2 and vice versa. Seal kits enable low-cost conversion of existing Viking Universal Seal pumps to the O-Pro™ Barrier Seal.
FOOD SAFETY - EC1935 COMPLIANT The pumps are constructed of food grade materials and carry the EC1935 mark to limit leaching of harmful substances into food, and are suitable for use on low hazard foods like chocolate, according to your HACCP plan.
SIMPLE MAINTENANCE O-rings are replaceable with the pump in-place, when configured with spacer couplings allow space to remove the O-Pro™ Barrier Seal. Jack screws in seal kits allow easy O-Pro™ Barrier Seal removal. Proven O-ring sealing technology means low cost seal replacement. Recommended re-greasing interval is every 500 hours of operation.
O-PRO™ BARRIER SEAL BUSHING The O-Pro™ Barrier Seal combines a bracket bushing and seal gland, with double O-ring seals, to seal chocolate out of the bracket and food grade grease in to provide lubrication for the bracket bushing
DRILLED IDLER The idler gear features a hardened iron bushing, extra clearances, and holes drilled through to ensure flow between the idler and pin, preventing chocolate from burning
NAMEPLATE - EC1935 COMPLIANT Pump nameplate features the EC1935 compliant cup and fork symbol to provide assurance of food-compatible materials of construction
