3DX 180M-2 Explosion-Proof Motor – Engineered for Safety and Performance in Hazardous Environments

As a leading supplier of explosion-proof motors in the UAE, we proudly offer the 3DX 180M-2, a high-performance motor designed to deliver exceptional reliability, operational safety, and efficiency in hazardous industrial environments. Built with advanced engineering, this motor is specifically tailored for industries where explosive gas or dust atmospheres are present, such as oil and gas facilities, petrochemical plants, mining operations, and offshore platforms.

The 3DX 180M-2 motor is part of the trusted 3DX series, known for its robust build, global safety compliance, and long service life. Designed in accordance with ATEX and IECEx certification standards, this motor ensures complete compliance with UAE and international hazardous area regulations, giving operators peace of mind in the most challenging environments.

Explosion-Proof Safety by Design

The 3DX 180M-2 is constructed with a flameproof enclosure that prevents internal ignition from reaching the surrounding atmosphere. This design protects against hazards in environments classified as Zone 1, Zone 2 (Gas) and Zone 21, Zone 22 (Dust). The enclosure is precision-machined to maintain its integrity under extreme pressure from internal explosions, ensuring the motor remains safe and operational in critical conditions.

The motor is suitable for temperature class T4 and gas group categories such as IIB or IIC, making it versatile for use across multiple hazardous industries. The precision sealing and robust terminal box design further enhance its explosion-proof capabilities.

Outstanding Performance & Efficiency

Equipped with a 2-pole configuration, the 3DX 180M-2 offers high rotational speed, making it ideal for applications that require rapid and powerful operation. The motor’s optimized winding and rotor design reduce energy loss, ensuring high operational efficiency while minimizing heat buildup.

It delivers consistent torque and smooth operation, even under fluctuating load conditions, ensuring continuous productivity in demanding environments. This performance advantage makes it an excellent choice for pumps, compressors, conveyors, mixers, and other heavy-duty equipment used in hazardous areas.

Built for Harsh UAE Industrial Conditions

The UAE’s industrial sectors operate in challenging environments, including high temperatures, high humidity, dust exposure, and corrosive atmospheres. The 3DX 180M-2 is designed to meet these challenges head-on.

Its IP55+ rated protection safeguards the motor against water jets and dust ingress, while its corrosion-resistant surface treatment prolongs service life in coastal and offshore areas. High-grade bearings and vibration-resistant construction ensure stable performance, even in continuous 24/7 operations.

Global Certifications and Compliance

Safety and compliance are paramount in hazardous environments. The 3DX 180M-2 meets the most stringent global explosion-proof standards, including:

• ATEX – European certification for explosive atmospheres
• IECEx – International certification for equipment used in explosive environments
• GB Standards – Complying with stringent manufacturing and safety requirements

These certifications ensure that the motor can be deployed across industries in the UAE, GCC, and other international markets without the need for additional modifications or approvals.

Low Maintenance & Long Service Life

Operational downtime in hazardous areas can be costly and dangerous. The 3DX 180M-2 is designed for low maintenance requirements, with high-quality bearings, precision balancing, and advanced insulation systems that withstand both thermal and electrical stresses.

The robust construction minimizes wear and tear, reducing the frequency of servicing and extending the motor’s operational lifespan. The result is a lower total cost of ownership and higher return on investment for industrial operators.

Versatile Industrial Applications

The 3DX 180M-2 explosion-proof motor is widely used across critical sectors in the UAE and globally, including:

• Oil & Gas Industry – Driving pumps, compressors, and drilling equipment in refineries and offshore rigs
• Petrochemical Plants – Powering agitators, mixers, and process conveyors in hazardous zones
• Mining Operations – Operating crushers, conveyors, and ventilation systems in explosive dust conditions
• Marine & Offshore – Providing safe propulsion and auxiliary power in ship engine rooms and offshore platforms
