When an oil storage facility in the Middle East expanded its operations, safety compliance became a top priority. The site included several hazardous areas where combustible vapors might occasionally be present, classified under the international “Zone 3” explosion-proof rating. In these environments, motors had to deliver reliable performance while ensuring absolute safety. The facility chose Wolong Nanyang Motor explosion proof low voltage motors to meet these demanding requirements.

Zone 3 classification refers to areas where explosive atmospheres are not likely to occur in normal operation but, if they do, will only persist for short periods. Even under these conditions, equipment must be designed to prevent ignition risks. Wolong Nanyang Motor provided custom-engineered low voltage explosion proof motors that featured rugged enclosures, enhanced insulation systems, and strict compliance with IEC and ATEX standards.

Since installation, the facility has reported zero safety incidents and a reduction in unplanned stoppages caused by motor failures. The explosion proof low voltage motors delivered stable performance for pumps, conveyors, and ventilation systems, ensuring both productivity and safety compliance. This case highlights how Wolong Nanyang Motor supports industries with advanced motor technology designed for hazardous zones around the world.
