Turkey's industrial ecosystem—positioned at the crossroads of European and Asian energy corridors—demands high-capacity, uncompromisingly certified electrical drive systems. From the massive oil refining complexes of TÜPRAŞ in İzmit and Aliağa to the strategic natural gas storage hubs operated by BOTAŞ in Silivri and Lake Tuz, heavy machinery must operate under extreme thermal stress, explosive vapor hazards, and conductive coal dust atmospheres.
As certified manufacturers and international exporters of high-voltage and low-voltage electrical machinery (heritage dating back to 1927), we supply fully accredited IECEx and ATEX explosion-proof electric motors engineered to exceed international safety standard IEC/EN 60034 and IEC 60034-1/60079 series. Whether powering heavy centrifugal gas compressors in Zone 1 environments or raw coal conveyors in Zone 21 underground mining facilities, our drive solutions guarantee maximum uptime, superior thermal endurance, and seamless compliance with Turkish TSE (Türk Standardları Enstitüsü) regulatory frameworks.
Precision-engineered AC and DC motors built for severe-duty hazardous environments in Turkish industrial installations.
Compact permanent magnet BLDC motor for automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and localized control valves in hazardous chemical environments.
Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled (TEFC / IC411) high-efficiency IE3/IE4 motor for pumps, exhaust blowers, and mixers in refineries.
Custom-built high voltage motor for power plant boiler feed pumps, main fans, and large petro-chemical gas compressors.
Single-phase and three-phase specialized ventilation drive motor optimized for volatile chemical vapor venting and industrial hood exhaust systems.
Heavy-frame drop-in replacement motor engineered to European standards (IC611 / IC81W air-water cooling options) for heavy gas processing plants.
High-torque micro-geared motor engineered for hazardous area actuator valves, remote sampling instruments, and explosive atmosphere metering pumps.
Heavy duty modular asynchronous slip ring and squirrel cage motor for cement ball mills, heavy shredders, and mining hoists in Anatolian mines.
Robust cast-iron frame motor designed for continuous duty (S1) operation in humid coastal marine terminals, ports, and steel rolling mills across Turkey.
In critical process industries, an unscheduled shutdown costs tens of thousands of Euros per hour. When a custom-built motor fails or requires replacement under stringent explosion-proof standard mandates, off-the-shelf catalog motors rarely fit physical foundation dimensions or electrical parameters.
Founded in Germany in 1927, our production facilities specialize in large AC & DC motors up to 25 MW and 13.8 kV. Every motor is built under strict ISO 9001 quality assurance and tested in our state-of-the-art load test field.
We maintain one of Europe’s largest inventories of brand-new and modified high-voltage motors, squirrel cage, and slip ring units ready for immediate emergency dispatch to Turkish industrial sites via land or air transport.
We craft 100% mechanical drop-in replacements for obsolete or legacy motor brands. Shaft dimensions, mounting feet, terminal box locations, and cooling ducts are customized to eliminate mechanical onsite modifications.
Deploying explosion-proof electric motors in Turkey requires a granular understanding of regional climate conditions, grid stability variations, and specific sector hazards. Here is how our IECEx certified motors serve major Turkish heavy industries:
Refineries operating near the Aegean and Marmara seas encounter harsh saline mist and high atmospheric humidity alongside volatile hydrocarbon gases (Gas Group IIB and IIC). Our flameproof Ex db and pressurized Ex pxb medium voltage motors provide zero-leakage security for crude oil pump stations, hydrocracker feed pumps, and hydrogen gas compressors.
Turkey’s strategic role as a natural gas transit hub (TANAP, TurkStream, and offshore Karadeniz Gas fields) relies on heavy-duty compressor drives. We engineer increased safety Ex eb and non-sparking Ex ec high-voltage motors operating at 6.6kV to 11kV that deliver high starting torque under unstable grid frequency conditions.
Underground mining in the Black Sea and Western Anatolian basins poses dual explosion threats from methane gas (Firedamp / Group I) and combustible coal dust (Dust Group IIIC). Our rugged cast-iron and fabricated steel frame motors carry dual Ex db / Ex tb certification with IP66 dust-tight sealing to prevent dust ingress into stator windings.
Historically, Turkish industries strictly specified European Union ATEX directives (2014/34/EU). However, as Turkish engineering firms (such as Çalık, Tekfen, Enka, and Renaissance Construction) expand globally and local facilities integrate international supply chains, the **IECEx International Certification System** has become the primary global benchmark requested by project procurement directors.
Our motors are manufactured in full compliance with the latest IEC 60079 series standard specifications:
Ambient temperatures in Southern Turkey (Adana, Iskenderun, Ceyhan) frequently exceed +45°C during summer peak, while Eastern Anatolian sites experience winter extremes down to -30°C. Standard catalog motors rated strictly for 40°C ambient temperatures will suffer rapid insulation breakdown. We custom-engineer insulation systems using Class H materials (rated for 180°C thermal limit) operating with Class B temperature rise (80K limit). This 100K thermal reserve guarantees extended winding lifespan even when operating continuously under full load in hot climates.
Yes. Turkey recognizes IECEx test reports and certificates of conformity issued by accredited international bodies (e.g., PTB, DEKRA, TÜV). Our motors are supplied with complete factory documentation, CE declarations, IECEx certificates, and routine test certificates required for smooth TSE clearance and site commissioning.
We supply motors fully matched to Turkish grid standards: Low voltage 400V/690V at 50Hz, and Medium/High Voltage standard ratings of 3kV, 3.3kV, 6kV, 6.6kV, 10kV, and 11kV. Motors can also be engineered for variable frequency drive (VFD) operation with insulated bearings or shaft grounding rings to prevent electrical bearing fluting.
Absolutely. One of our core specialties is manufacturing 100% custom mechanical and electrical replicas. If an older motor from an obsolete manufacturer breaks down in a Turkish refinery or mine, we match foot-mounting dimensions, shaft heights, flange configurations, and terminal box positions so no civil engineering alterations are required on site.
Thanks to our extensive stock in Germany featuring large high-voltage motors and modular components, stocked units can be modified, tested in our full-load test bay, and dispatched via express overland freight to Turkey within days, minimizing plant downtime.
Every motor undergoes rigorous testing according to IEC 600034 standards. We provide type test reports, routine test certificates, vibration analysis, winding resistance measurements, and explosion-proof gap inspection records. Turkish engineering teams are also invited to witness live acceptance tests online or in-person at our factory test field.
