SOX Series Stainless Steel Centrifugal Pumps: The Standard for Hygienic & Corrosive Fluid Transfer
Reliability in fluid transfer starts with the right materials. The SOX Series is a premier line of end-suction centrifugal pumps engineered specifically for environments where standard cast iron components fail due to oxidation or chemical reactivity. Constructed from high-grade 304 stainless steel, these pumps provide the essential corrosion resistance required for water supply, chemical processing, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, ensuring your operations remain clean, compliant, and highly efficient.
High-Performance Capability
The SOX Series is designed to balance power with precision. Operating at a standard 3450 RPM, these pumps deliver the high-velocity flow required for high-head industrial tasks while maintaining a compact, space-saving footprint.
Horsepower Range: 1.5 HP to 50 HP for versatile scaling.
Max Liquid Temperature: Rated for high-heat duty up to 248 °F (120 °C).
Max Working Pressure: Handles up to 145 PSI (10.2 kg/cm²).
Standardized Flanges: Suction sizes from 2" to 4" and discharge from 1¼" to 3" using 150 lb DIN horizontal/vertical flange configurations.
Why the SOX Series is the Industrial Choice for Hygiene
In sectors like food and beverage or biochemical analysis, the pump’s material composition is a critical safety and compliance factor. The SOX Series utilizes a closed-type 304 stainless steel impeller, which prevents fluid contamination and resists the pitting and erosion often caused by aggressive chemical cleaners or high-velocity particulates.
Key Technical Advantages:
Superior Metallurgy: Every wetted part—including the body, seal plate, and impeller—is crafted from 304 stainless steel. This ensures the pump can withstand corrosive media that would rapidly degrade standard alloys.
Premium Motor Efficiency: Equipped with IE3 premium efficiency motors, the SOX Series significantly reduces energy consumption. These totally enclosed, fan-cooled (TEFC) motors provide Class F insulation for reliable service in demanding atmospheres.
Versatile Installation: The horizontal suction and vertical discharge configuration, coupled with optional DIN-type NPT threaded counterflanges, allows for seamless integration into a wide variety of existing systems.
Critical Market Applications
The SOX Series is a valuable asset in operations where cleanliness and equipment life are paramount. It remains the preferred solution for:
Chemical Processing: Safe transfer of moderately aggressive liquids, acids, and solvents.
Food & Beverage Services: Ideal for washdown cycles, ingredient water supply, and bottling processes.
Pharmaceutical Manufacturing: Ensuring batch consistency through non-contaminating metallurgy.
Municipal Utilities: High-efficiency pressure boosting and clean water distribution for subdivisions and commercial facilities.
