There are a range of motors that can be attached to your mixer based on your mixing requirements, but is your motor providing you the most safety and preventing potential ignition? When mixing any substance that may be hazardous or volatile, it is important that you use the most suitable motor during your mixing and blending processes to ensure the safety and protection of your workplace and equipment.
An EXD Motor (or Flame-proof motor) is an electric motor that will contain an explosion in the case that it come into contact with any foreign objects or moisture in a potentially hazardous environment. This is achieved through the building of flame paths into the shaft and inner bearings of the motor which are housed to withstand fires and explosions internally.
You may be working in a potentially hazardous environment if your mixing environment contains any form of –
- Small dust or fibre particles
- Flammable gases
- Paint or Adhesives
- Alcohols
The EXD motor is mosty commonly used in the pharmaceutical, oil, gas, and chemical industries where these potentially dangerous sources may be found and used in mixing or blending processes.
