Chemical, oil and gas industry
In chemical and petrochemical plants, the use of explosion-proof motors is mandatory.
We currently design our low and medium power motors with increased safety "e" and "n" (non sparking) (zone 2) ignition protection, our high to highest power motors and all synchronous motors with pressurized enclosure "p" ignition protection.
For certain chemical processes, special conditions must be observed, such as avoiding copper and copper-containing alloys on the external structure of the motors for equipment for ammonia synthesis. VEM motors are adapted to the special requirements of chemical processes. We supply motors for compressors, extruders, fans, mixers and pumps.
