Viking Pump 1224A-CHC Series Liquid-Specific Cast Iron Internal Gear Pumps

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.

Viking Pump has been a trusted partner in reliability with chocolate and confectionery processors around the world for more than a century. As the world’s leading positive displacement process pump manufacturer, solving difficult liquid transfer problems is what we do. And it doesn’t get more difficult than chocolate, so you can rely on Viking’s experience and expertise. Viking has worked closely with processors to overcome the many difficulties of pumping chocolate and developed hundreds of different, unique pump designs for each different chocolate liquid.

• Hardened parts to minimize wear by abrasive cocoa liquor
• Extra clearances and drilled idler gears to prevent caramelization of white chocolate
• Grooves to promote flow behind the rotor to prevent solids buildup on sugar-free chocolate
• Special seals for cocoa butter and fats

1224A-CHC Series pumps are used throughout the production of chocolate including chocolate processing (bean to bulk), making confections (bulk to bar), or both (bean to bar). Whether the task is to transfer cocoa mass from a ball mill across the plant to a blending tank, or to recirculate yogurt coating in a closed loop to feed a series of panners, or to continuously recirculate tempered milk chocolate from an enrobing machine’s sump to the feed trough, or a hundred other possibilities, Viking’s gentle, reliable pumps will improve your operational efficiency.
