Explosion-Proof Motors

Discover our advanced series of motors designed to operate in explosive atmospheres, specifically in ATEX zones: Ex d IIB T4 and Ex d IIC T4. These explosion-proof motors not only offer exceptional performance but also feature a precise and refined design. Ideal for industries where safety is paramount, they ensure reliability and long-lasting durability.

OMEX: ATEX Motors

OMEX is the series of explosion-proof motors made of cast iron certified as ATEX motors internationally, designed and manufactured by OME Motors. These are low-voltage three-phase asynchronous motors, equipped with a squirrel cage rotor, axial ventilation, and a fully enclosed fan. These particular ATEX motors are specifically produced for installation in hazardous areas and zones exposed to the presence of gas or combustible dust. These motors are constructed to eliminate the risk of explosion and are equipped with all the protections that prevent ignition: pressurized equipment; fire-resistant and explosion-proof outer structure; increased safety; spark protection.

OMEX explosion-proof motor ATEX certification

The OMEX series includes motors built according to the ATEX directive, which classifies equipment based on the level of protection guaranteed within hazardous areas and zones. The term ATEX (explosive atmosphere) indicates a mixture of air and fuel which, under particular temperature and pressure conditions and if appropriately ignited, can cause an explosion (deflagration or detonation). The fuel can consist of gases or dusts. The ATEX explosion-proof electric motors of the OMEX series, also called ATEX electric motors, are designed to be used where it is necessary to guarantee maximum safety against fires and explosions IEC 60079-0:2013.

The two European directives that regulate explosive atmospheres and to which an ATEX motor responds are:

ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU concerning equipment and protective systems installed in explosive atmospheres.
Directive 99/92/EC which prescribes the minimum requirements for the protection of safety and health of workers exposed to the risks of explosive atmospheres.

The ATEX explosion-proof motors of the OMEX series are ATEX certified: EEXD IIB and IIC T4.

ATEX electric motors used in hazardous work areas

Thanks to their particular characteristics, the ATEX explosion-proof motors of the OMEX series are ideal for use in chemical and petrochemical industries, oil and gas pipelines, offshore and coastal oil platforms, ships, pharmaceutical, printing, thermal and manufacturing industries, and in mines.
Furthermore, the explosion-proof motors manufactured by OME and ATEX certified are also suitable for use in air treatment systems or in the production of systems and equipment for waste collection and disposal, and the processing of cereals, rice and sugar. Finally, the ATEX Explosion-proof motors of the OMEX series are effective and functional when used in combination with pumps, compressors and industrial boilers.

Discover the advantages of OMEX certified ATEX motors

OMEX explosion-proof motors are custom-built by Ome Motors and are designed for use in potentially hazardous work areas due to the presence of various types of gases or dusts. In these cases, the ATEX explosion-proof motors of the OMEX series offer several advantages:

Maximum safety guaranteed by the explosion-proof structure suitable for reliable use.
High torque and greater overload capacity.
Greater efficiency and better performance.

ATEX Certification of OMEX Explosion-Proof Motors

The OMEX series includes motors built according to the ATEX directive, which classifies equipment based on the level of protection it provides within hazardous areas and zones. The term ATEX (explosive atmosphere) refers to a mixture of air and combustible materials that, under specific temperature and pressure conditions, and when appropriately ignited, can cause an explosion (deflagration or detonation). The combustible material may consist of gas or dust. The explosion-proof electric motors of the OMEX series, also known as ATEX electric motors, are designed to be used where maximum safety against fires and explosions is required according to IEC 60079-0:2013.

The two European directives regulating explosive atmospheres to which an ATEX motor complies are:

ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU concerning equipment and protective systems installed in explosive atmospheres
Directive 99/92/EC, which prescribes minimum safety and health protection requirements for workers exposed to risks from explosive atmospheres.

The ATEX explosion-proof motors of the OMEX series are certified ATEX: EEXD IIB and IIC T4.
