Canned motor pumps with explosion protection for potentially explosive atmospheres

Canned motor pumps with explosion protection are used wherever flammable or potentially explosive media need to be pumped safely – for example, in the chemical, petrochemical or energy industries. They are suitable for numerous standard applications where leak-tightness, operational safety and availability are crucial.

Thanks to their modular design, canned motor pumps can be flexibly configured and adapted to the specific process requirements. A range of different models allows for a precisely tailored selection depending on the fluid, temperature range and area of application – ensuring maximum safety and efficiency during operation.
