This base-mounted end suction pump utilizes a cast iron casing and a bronze impeller to facilitate fluid transfer. The assembly incorporates a dry shaft design with a stainless steel shaft protected by a replaceable bronze shaft sleeve. A mechanical seal constructed with a ceramic seat and EPT rubber components maintains system integrity at 125 PSI. This pump includes pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections for monitoring and integrates a self-flushing seal design to prevent particulate accumulation.
Powered by a 60 HP Premium Efficiency TEFC motor, the assembly operates at 3450 RPM with Aegis Grounding on a 380-460V / 3PH power supply, resulting in a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. The 'S' in the SFI series denotes Taco's advanced Self-Sensing technology, which eliminates remote sensors and field wiring by using internal mathematical algorithms to calculate system resistance and automate variable flow. The included VFD is configured with a fused disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 12 / IP 55 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
