This close-coupled end suction pump utilizes a dry shaft design that isolates the shaft from circulating fluid to minimize corrosion. The assembly is constructed with a cast iron casing, a bronze impeller, and a stainless steel shaft sleeve to manage system fluid. It operates with a 125 PSI pressure rating and incorporates a wear ring to maintain hydraulic efficiency. The seal assembly comprises a ceramic seat and EPT rubber, providing a barrier for internal components while facilitating simplified field maintenance through a slip-on shaft sleeve. Pressure tappings on suction and discharge connections are provided as standard to allow for system monitoring.
This pump utilizes a 60 HP premium efficiency ODP motor operating at 3450 RPM with Aegis grounding on 380-460V / 3PH power, yielding a DOE PEI rating of 0.46. The 'S' in the SCI 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 mechanical disconnect without bypass and holds an enclosure NEMA 1 / IP 21 rating. The drive ships unmounted for customer wall installation without a bracket, harness, or vibration mounts.
