Viking Pump Hygienic (IDEX)

Viking Pump Hygienic at Cummins-Wagner and Siewert Equipment

Precision Engineered for Sanitary Fluid Handling

Cummins-Wagner and Siewert Equipment proudly offer Viking Pump Hygienic, a division of IDEX Corporation, to industries demanding the highest standards in sanitary pumping solutions. Serving food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, and biotech sectors, Viking Hygienic pumps are engineered for clean-in-place (CIP) and sanitary fluid handling where contamination control, ease of maintenance, and compliance with strict regulations are essential.

What is a hygienic pump?

A hygienic pump is specifically designed for applications where cleanliness, product integrity, and contamination control are critical—such as in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and biotech industries. These pumps are built to support frequent cleaning and sanitization, often incorporating Clean-in-Place (CIP) and Sterilize-in-Place (SIP) capabilities. In addition to maintaining sanitary standards, hygienic pumps are engineered to handle sensitive or shear-sensitive fluids gently, preserving product quality.

Indicators that a pump meets hygienic standards include compliance with 3-A Sanitary Standards, EHEDG guidelines, and certifications such as FDA, USP Class VI, or ATEX for use in explosive environments. The materials of construction—often stainless steel with polished finishes—and the pump’s internal geometry are designed to eliminate dead zones, reduce residue buildup, and facilitate complete drainage.

About Viking Pump Hygienic: A Century of Innovation

Founded in 1905 in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Viking Pump pioneered the internal gear pump, setting the global standard for fluid handling innovation. Over a century, Viking has expanded its expertise into multiple pump technologies servicing industrial, food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.

In 2021, Viking Pump merged with Wright Flow Technologies to form Viking Pump Hygienic, combining Viking’s gear pump legacy with Wright Flow’s rotary lobe and circumferential piston expertise. This merger created a unified line of advanced sanitary positive displacement pumps built for demanding clean-in-place (CIP) and sterile environments.

Now part of the IDEX Corporation family, Viking Pump Hygienic continues to develop cutting-edge, FDA and 3A-compliant pumps designed for low-shear, precision fluid transfer. Their focus remains on delivering durable, efficient, and hygienic pumping systems backed by comprehensive global support.
