Using the most suitable motor during your mixing and blending processes is important as it ensures the safety and protection of your workplace and equipment.
An EXD Motor (Flame-proof motor) is an electric motor that is designed to contain an explosion if it were to come into contact with any moisture or foreign objects in an environment that is hazardous. Flame paths are built into the shaft and inner bearings of the motor which are manufactured to internally withstand fires and explosions.
Your mixing applications may be potentially hazardous if your environment contains any form of:
- Small dust or fibre particles
- Flammable gases
- Paint or Adhesives
- Alcohols
Industries including pharmaceutical, gas, oil, and chemical most commonly use the EXD motor as potentially hazardous sources are most likely to be in use.
At FluidPro, we provide the option to make customisations to your mixer based on your mixing processes. The EXD motor can be customised to a number of FluidPro’s Australian made mixers, these mixers are:
- DM-10 IBC Mixers
- DM-70 IBC Mixers
- SE-10 Side Entry Mixers
- BE-10 Base Entry Mixers
- PS-10 Clamp On Mixers
- Dynamic Mixers
- Inline, Top Entry and Base Entry Mixers
- High Shear Dispersion Mixers
At FluidPro, our team of expert engineers have undergone extensive safety testing to ensure that our EXD motors are able to withstand airborne particles and high temperatures without ignition.
