For your pumping operations in hazardous environments, you can rely on the explosion-proof pumps manufactured by Goulds Pumps and Myers Pumps. The 3SDX Goulds and the SX Myers pump series are robust submersible pumps used in commercial and industrial applications. They are built to sustain chances of ignition in Class 1, Division 1, and Group D environments.
Goulds 3SDX Series Pumps – Features and Benefits
The 3SDX series Goulds Pumps are primarily devices used to free up sewage systems and control flood and pollution (sewage and liquid waste). They can be deployed in hospitals, hotels, motels, and trailer courts for dewatering operations. Here are some benefits of using Goulds 3SDX12F2K series explosion-proof pumps.

| Goulds 3SDX12F3KC 3SDX Series Explosion Proof Sewage Pump |
Benefits
· Equipped to handle pumping in locations classified as hazardous – Class 1, Division 1, Group C, and Group D
· The solid handling capacity of the pump is 2.5 inches (6.35 cm)
· The outer seals can be conveniently replaced
· The motor can handle submerged operations in continuum and offers a runtime of 15 minutes in the air
· The motor is designed commensurate with the latest requirements as illustrated by IEEE, ANSI, NEC, and NEMA standards
Features
3SDX12F2K series Goulds pumps are designed with in-built seal protection and are made up of sturdy ASTM A48 cast iron and Class 39 casing. The pumps come with pump-out vanes and non-clogger impeller systems to prevent leakage. Mechanical seals operating from oil-filled seal chambers work in tandem and individually to ensure a foolproof performance.
The thermal protection system activates even before hazardous temperature conditions are reached by maneuvering the magnetic motor controller. The devices come with moisture detection sensors (dual probe), which should be connected to a seal fail circuit in the control panel. The moisture detection system is activated if the chance of a seal failure presents itself. The control panel also comes with overload protection warnings.
Intrinsically safe relays are the systems that the device uses in case a switch cord breaks and the need to power the float switches arise.
Myers SX Series Pumps – Features and Benefits
The SX series Myers pumps are made up of cast iron. These are submersible pumps that can be deployed in commercial and industrial areas to perform effluent and dewatering operations. These pumps can be used in environment categorized ad Class 1, Division 1, and Group D.
Myers 26857E610 SX50-01 SX Series Explosion
Proof Sump Pump
Benefits
· The, Myers 26857E610 SX50-01 SX Series, pumps can effectively pump out polluted water, which falls under the CSA listings.
· It can operate efficiently under heavy load.
· The intrinsically safe control panel ensures there are no operational malfunctions.
· The machine can be used in extreme environments.
· Corrosion-resistant
Features
The mechanical seal is protected by a robust cable entry system. Furthermore, the chance of motor damage is indicated in advance by a seal leak probe. The machine incorporates an oil-filled seal chamber which protects the motor with continuous lubrication. The pumps use recessed impeller handles made of ductile iron to promote uninterrupted flow and prevent clogging. The motor turns off and resets automatically after operating through excessive heat owing to the heat sensor.
Explosion Proof Pumps: Usage and Application
Explosion-proof pumps are used in locations that are ignition prone. Here are some factors that can lead to combustion during a pumping operation.
· While pumping fuel from a supply tank, if fumes meet sparks and flames, the ignition may take place
· Pumps are susceptible to cause ignition in environments with high temperatures
· Pumping in dry areas with an excessive amount of flammable dust can cause a fire
To ensure safety in these hazardous environments, pumps with special motors and casing are utilized. These pumps must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code (NEC). The NEC defines the parameters an explosion-proof pump design must follow to get approval for its deployment in a hazardous environment. The hazardous areas in which explosion-proof pumps can be used are further classified into Class 1, Division 1, and Division 2 locations.
