SOX Series Technical Specifications and Mechanical Features

The SOX Series represents an elite solution for fluid transfer tasks across industrial, commercial, and municipal landscapes. These centrifugal pumps are engineered for operators who require more than just flow; they are designed for applications where fluid purity and equipment longevity are the primary metrics of success. By utilizing premium stainless steel construction throughout the entire wetted path, the SOX Series minimizes maintenance-related downtime caused by oxidation, chemical wear, and internal erosion.

Precision Material Engineering

The structural integrity of the SOX Series begins with its 304 stainless steel body and seal plate. This specific metallurgy is chosen for its excellent durability and resistance to atmospheric corrosion and many organic and inorganic chemicals. To protect the motor shaft from the pumped media, every unit is equipped with a 316 stainless steel shaft sleeve, providing a secondary layer of protection against the friction and heat generated during high-speed operation.

The internal closed impeller design is precision-balanced to ensure silent operation and minimal radial thrust. Because it is also crafted from 304 series stainless steel, it maintains its hydraulic profile over time. This prevents the "efficiency decay" typically associated with the internal pitting and degradation found in cast iron or plastic impellers.

Advanced Mechanical Sealing and Protection

The SOX Series features a water-lubricated mechanical seal designed for continuous duty. The seal utilizes a silicon carbide stationary part and a carbon ring seal on the rotating part, offering a hard-wearing interface capable of handling the intense friction of 3450 RPM speeds. The inclusion of EPDM elastomers and a stainless steel spring ensures the seal remains flexible and tight, even when handling liquids up to 248 °F. This combination of materials is specifically chosen to resist the "scaling" and mineral buildup often found in hard water or chemical transfer applications.

Motor Performance and System Reliability

Every SOX Series pump is powered by a high-efficiency, totally enclosed motor with external ventilation (TEFC). These motors are built to IE3 premium efficiency standards, maximizing "wire-to-water" energy savings and reducing the total cost of ownership.

• Single-Phase Options: Feature built-in thermal protection to prevent motor burnout during unexpected load surges.

• Three-Phase Configurations: Available in 230/460 V to accommodate standard industrial power grids.

• Structural Bracket: The motor is supported by a heavy-duty cast iron ASTM Class 30 bracket, providing a rigid frame that minimizes vibration and protects the alignment of the internal rotating assembly.
