Feature -> Business Impact -> Application: Flameproof Exde protection with Exdbeb certification reduces risk of ignition in hazardous zones, enabling compliant operation in ATEX/IECEx environments and minimizing shutdowns. This directly improves uptime and safety for chemical plants and refineries. Feature -> IE3 Premium Efficiency at 18.5 kW translates to measurable energy savings and lower operating costs across continuous S1 duty cycles, especially in 400 V/50 Hz networks used in steel mills and process plants. Application: chemical processing lines, oil and gas facilities, mining conveyors. Feature -> IP55 enclosure and IC411 insulation provide robust protection against dust, moisture, and heat, supporting longer service intervals in outdoor or hot industrial spaces. Application: hazardous-area conveyors, agitators, and mixers with demanding ambient conditions. Feature -> 8-pole design and frame size 225 offer reliable torque and smooth starting under full load, reducing mechanical stress and maintenance needs. Application: shaft-driven pumps and fans in ATEX zones. Feature -> IMB5/IM3001 mounting compatibility and top terminator box location simplify installation and future maintenance, shortening commissioning time and reducing field labor costs. Application: retrofits and new builds alike. Feature -> Cast Iron housing with 6313/C3 bearings delivers durability in corrosive or abrasive environments, extending service life and reducing replacement intervals. Application: continuous operation in cement plants, mining operations, and chemical plants.

FAQs
This motor uses IMB5/IM3001 mounting with a top terminator box, designed for straightforward retrofit or new builds. Ensure 400 V, 50 Hz supply, correct D connection configuration, and adequate clearance for the cast-iron frame. Verify enclosure IP55, Exdbeb explosion protection, and gas group IIB suitability. Cable glands, mounting hardware, and terminal box access should be planned for efficient commissioning and safe maintenance.
The motor delivers IE3 premium efficiency with 18.5 kW output at 400 V and 50 Hz, suitable for continuous S1 duty. Full-load efficiency is around 90%+, with partial-load efficiency near 89–90%. It features 8 poles, a frame size 225, and a temperature class T4, enabling reliable performance under typical 40 °C ambient conditions and 1000 m altitude limits.
Yes. The motor is Exde flameproof with Exdbeb protection, designed for gas group IIB environments. It provides an IP55 enclosure, supporting safe operation in dusty, moist, and potentially explosive atmospheres. Ensure installation follows local ATEX/IECEx regulations and that the mounting, wiring, and maintenance comply with applicable standards.
Key certifications include Exde flameproof protection (Exdbeb) for IIB gas groups, IP55 enclosure rating, IC411 insulation, and IE3 efficiency. The unit also supports typical accessibility and mounting standards for hazardous-area motors, along with a Finland-origin manufacturing lineage. While CE marking is common, verify current compliance with your regional regulatory requirements and the specific Ex certification scope.
Energy savings from IE3 efficiency reduce operating costs in continuous duty applications. The robust Exde protection and IP55 enclosure lower unplanned downtime due to environmental exposure, while the durable cast iron frame and bearings extend service life, reducing replacement and maintenance costs. Given 18.5 kW output and hazardous-area suitability, the total cost of ownership improves through fewer faults, simpler maintenance, and longer intervals between overhauls.
