Explosion-Proof Drum Pump Motors

Explosion-proof motors for pumping solvents, fuels, and other flammable liquids from drums and totes. The ME I 6 Silver Star (0.5 HP, 120 V) is rated Class I Groups C and D and Class II Groups F and G with variable speed control, and the ME II series adds low voltage release so the motor cannot restart on its own after a power interruption. Pair an explosion-proof motor with a stainless steel pump tube and a grounding kit for a complete flammable liquids setup. If your facility classifies the area as hazardous, the motor rating is a code requirement, not an option. Check the motor nameplate rating against your area classification before ordering, or send us the classification through our contact form and we will confirm the rating fits before you buy.
