Chemical & process industries
ATEX-rated motors, magnetic couplings and sealed gear units for chemical, pharma and process operators.
In chemical, pharma and process plants the cost of a contained leak — to safety, environment or batch quality — dwarfs the cost of the component that caused it.
We supply DSEAR-compliant rotating equipment, sealing technology and operator PPE that stands up to the hazardous areas, solvents and audits your plant lives with daily.
