Explosion Proof Pumps for Hazardous Environments | MultiTorque Australia 2025
When your operation runs in a hazardous environment, safety isn’t optional—it’s everything. At MultiTorque, we supply, service, and support explosion proof pumps engineered to meet strict safety standards in explosive atmospheres. Whether you’re working in mining, oil & gas, or chemical processing, our certified pumps provide reliable, spark-free operation that protects both people and property.
If you’re searching for a rugged solution that complies with ATEX, IECEx, or other safety standards, MultiTorque is your go-to partner for explosion proof pumping systems in Australia.
What Are Explosion Proof Pumps?
Explosion proof pumps are designed to operate safely in environments where flammable gases, vapours, or dust may be present. These pumps feature sealed electrical components, non-sparking materials, and heavy-duty construction that prevent ignition from internal or external sources.
They’re critical in Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas, where even a small spark could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Typical explosion proof pump features include:
-
Non-sparking motor construction
-
Flameproof enclosures (Ex d)
-
Intrinsically safe controls (Ex ia)
-
Chemical-resistant seals and gaskets
-
Earth grounding and anti-static components
Applications of Explosion Proof Pumps
Explosion proof pumps are used in a wide range of industries where safety compliance is essential:
-
Mining: Dewatering pumps in underground coal mines or gas-prone zones
-
Oil & Gas: Fuel transfer, chemical dosing, and fluid circulation in refineries and rigs
-
Chemical Processing: Acids, solvents, or flammable liquids under pressure
-
Paint and Coating Plants: Transfer of volatile compounds
-
Industrial Waste Management: Pumping hazardous fluids in enclosed areas
-
Agricultural Sheds & Silos: Handling fine dust or flammable chemicals
If your operation involves flammable atmospheres, an explosion proof pump isn’t just smart—it’s a requirement.
