Electric motors engineered for hazardous areas

Some environments require more than standard performance — they demand assurance. In sectors where explosive gases, combustible dusts, or high ambient temperatures are part of daily operations, safety is not a feature. It’s a requirement. Motors installed in such conditions must meet strict international standards, combining mechanical integrity with verified compliance.

Hazardous area motors are engineered to minimize ignition risk, resist internal explosions, and operate reliably within clearly defined zones, such as Zone 2, Zone 21, or Zone 22. Whether in petrochemical plants, waste processing facilities, grain silos, or energy infrastructure, these motors are called upon to deliver not only power, but peace of mind.

Valiadis S.A. is an established provider of electric motors designed for high-risk environments. Through both in-house engineering and partnerships with certified manufacturers, we offer solutions that align with the ATEX Directive and meet the expectations of clients operating in sensitive industrial zones. Our experience covers a broad range of enclosure types, thermal classifications, and environmental protections — always with traceable certification and tested reliability.

If your application involves hazardous area compliance, we are ready to assist — from guidance in motor selection to technical support and documentation. Specific solutions, such as flameproof, dust-tight, or Zone-certified motors, are available in dedicated sections of our web page.
