External Motor Sweep Auger
As per the directives of GB17440, which outlines the 'Grain processing, storage and transportation system dust explosion-proof safety Regulations', silos in China are categorized under the dust explosion-proof 20 zone environment. This necessitates that all electrical equipment within the silo adhere to the stringent guidelines suitable for a 20 zone environment. Presently, the vast majority of conventional sweep augers available in the market have their motors installed inside the silo, mandating the use of dust explosion-proof motors in accordance with these regulations. However, a significant challenge arises as domestic and international markets lack motors specifically designed for dust explosion-proof 20 zones. Consequently, many organizations are compelled to use sweep augers fitted with dust explosion-proof 21 zone motors, which unfortunately introduces potential safety hazards.
Addressing the safety challenges posed by equipment with electric motors in silos has become a pivotal focus for technical experts in the industry. This concern highlights the urgent need for innovative solutions to mitigate safety risks in grain storage systems.
The Hongrui research team has risen to the challenge by engineering an external motor sweep auger that not only mitigates explosion risks but also drives operational efficiency. This groundbreaking design offers a dual advantage, ensuring safer and more productive grain handling solutions.
