At its core, grain business depends on the smooth efficiency of electric motors to keep systems up and running. Many grain elevators, rice mills, dust pellet mills, flour mills, feed mills, etc. are home to some of the most demanding conditions and accident-prone environments for electric motors, therefore increasing the necessity for quality and safety.

Safety is our priority. IBT offers high-performance grain motors with the essential features you need to maintain your agriculture applications.

Explosion-Proof		TEFC
With combustible dusts, oxygen and ignition sources all present in many ag environments, flames can ignite and, if not contained, spread, resulting in an explosion. Explosion-proof motors are constructed with heavy-duty enclosures that could contain an internal explosion without rupturing, should one occur. They must be clearly labeled and include flame paths, which allow hot gases to cool before escaping and protect against thermal overload. Features such as these ensure a longer motor life, safer systems, energy efficiency and overall reliability.		Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled refers to an industrial electric motor equipped with an external fan to circulate outside air across the motor. This motor is commonly used in many industrial environments, in addition to agriculture industries. A TEFC motor offers increased protection against weather, dirt and moisture that will help prevent motor failures and extend motor life

IBT partners with the best manufacturers in the business to offer our customers the best grain motors for the job.

Marathon Farm Duty Agricultural Motors:

Marathon’s motor line includes Severe Duty, Explosion-Proof and Farm Duty Agriculture motors━with and without C-face mounting. While all Marathon motors are built for demanding applications, ag motors are built to provide higher starting torques for them, as well. The Farm Duty line of motors are good for many applications including: feeders, conveyors, fans, compressors, spray washers, grinders, elevators and pumps. The fully-enclosed and fully-gasketed construction makes them ideal for dirty environments and the single phase motors include low-temperature manual reset thermal protectors.
