Industry Issue: Traditional washdown motors don't last.

HydroDuty has a 5+ year proven lifecycle!

	Here is a competitor’s washdown motor from a food processing plant. Notice the corrosion caused by sanitation chemicals used during the washdown process. Moisture and chemicals enter the motor and destroy the insulation and bearings. Conduit boxes and electrical connections represent another common source of motor failures in washdown applications.

Competitive Motor Shortcomings

• Painted shells chip and rust
• Paint-free motor parts corrode
• End bells allow for intrusion of water and chemicals
• Bearing seals provide insufficient protection from water and chemicals
• Conduit box leaks allow water and chemicals to access motor windings
• Drain plugs designed to eliminate water and chemicals actually provide open pathway to motor's interior
• Exposed windings subject to failure due to intrusion of water and chemicals
