Hands-On Training: Upgrading Viking Pump’s LQ224A for Asphalt Applications

We recently hosted another in-depth training session at our Ashland, VA headquarters, focusing on Viking Pump’s Universal Pump Series. Our team, along with members from a local Asphalt Products Manufacturer’s Maintenance and Engineering teams, delved into the design changes and participated in a hands-on pump teardown, rebuild, and seal conversion on an LQ224A.

The LQ224A was upgraded from packing to an O Pro Cartridge seal with High Temperature O-Rings to be better suited for the asphalt pumping application. This practical experience was complemented by classroom sessions covering pump components, terminology, wear patterns, root cause analysis, seal types, and more.
