HydroDuty Exclusive Patented Feature

1. HydroDuty is the Only Washdown Motor to Offer Full Winding Encapsulation and Patented Technology - that Works!

HydroDuty's patented SprayGuard™ encapsulation

 

HydroDuty encapsulated windings unlike anything in the washdown market today.

This patented technology provides unparalled winding protection against moisture and chemicals in washdown environments.

Typical competitor's winding

 

Competitors at best offer only standard dip and bake winding treatments

2. HydroDuty's Patented Custom Seal Combination Protects Against Water or Chemical Entry

Check Seal - Protects against moisture entry.

External Stainless Steel Slinger - Protects against direct high pressure spray.

Internal bearing seal

 

3. HydroDuty's Patented Drained Conduit Box with Potted Lead Wire Hole

  • Potted lead wire hole
  • Conduit box gasket secured to box cover
  • Allows for drainage
  • Waterproof lead wire connector kit
  • Eliminates a common source of washdown motor failure
  • Completely sealed - no moisture entry to motor interior

Typical competitor's conduit box

 

Moisture has direct entry from conduit box to motor interior

Many failures are caused by water entry through the conduit box. Does your current motor have this protection?

4. HydroDuty's Patented Endbell with O-ring Groove and Center Cavity Drains

  • Press fit endbells with O-ring (tighter fit for enhanced seal




  • Built with explosionproof tolerances
  • Center cavity drains direct moisture away from motor face, preventing accumulation and entry

 


  • Drip grooves keep condensation from bearings

5. HydroDuty's Patented Breather Vent

  • Allows motor to breathe
  • Vent membrane prevents water, chemicals and oil from entering motor.
  • At operating temperature, condensation is vaporized and eliminated.
  • Eliminates need for drain plugs

Most other motors have drains and plugs that need to be carefully installed and checked to allow condensation to drain. These drains are also a pathway for moisture to enter the motor interior. Drains are not required with HydroDuty motors.

6. HydroDuty's Patented Leads Splice Kit

  • Based on submersible motor technology
  • Protects electrical connections from water contamination (a common source of washdown motor failure)
  • Easy, simple installation steps
  • Essential for warranty protection
  • Ensures safe, dry connections
  • Not available with other washdown motors
