Here are pictures of a KSB Amarex hazardous area pump before and after a full refurbishment in the Westin Drives workshop in Huddersfield, Yorkshire.


Hazardous area pumps before repair

Electrical or electronic equipment used in designated hazardous areas must be ATEX certified, as required by two EU directives.


Our engineers are AEMT certified to repair ATEX low, medium, and high voltage EX motors. We primarily repair motors from industrial compressors, pumps, or fans operating in hazardous areas.


It is essential for businesses with motors in hazardous areas to use certified technicians for repair work. Failure to do so could result in serious consequences in the event of an accident. Please contact us to see how we can help with your ATEX repairs.
