Frp Motor Canopies - Protection Shell

Published on : Tuesday 30-11--0001

Protect The Work Horses Of The Industries :-

From :

• Water, Rain, Mist
• Acid & Chemicals
• Dust
• Heat
• Impact

The necessity to protect the equipment, needs no emphasis. The daily failures due to one reason or the other is reminding us always. A little money extra spent on the protective means, is worth, than facing the breakdown and failures i.e. PRODUCTION LOSS. The motors are invariably subjected to abnormal circumstances (other than the designed parameters) such as

Nature Of Work :-

Installed Directly Under Sun / Rain

Installed In Dusty Atmosphere

Installed In The Vicinity Of Flying Objects (E.G. Waste Paper, Clothes, Leaves Etc.)

Accidental Conditions :-

Hit by falling object

Excessive heating due to fire or heat in the vicinity.

Splash of oil / acid / corrosive substances

The motors should be protected from abnormal eventualities and should be guarded to minimize the risk of damages.

Products :-

To protect the equipment FRP MOTOR PROTECTION SHELL is suggested, which is a cover made of FRP ( hand lapping process)

WHY FRP?

Because FRP is GRP Motor Protection Shell Manufacturer in india Resistant To

Corrosive Environment Of Coastal Areas /

Chemical Plants / Refineries

Mechanically Strong

No Water Absorption

Highly Insulating Material

U. V. Stabilised

Aesthetic Looks

Maintenance Free

Lightweight

Excellent Weatherability

Motor Protection Shell (FRP Motor Canopies) :-

The salient feature are :

1. One piece moulding giving a monolithic construction.

2. LOUVERS are FRP Moulded and provided all around the protection shell (due care has been taken towards the cooling requirement of the motor under full load conditions). The advantage of FRP MOULDED LOUVERS IS THE LIFE, these louvers will last upto the life of the shell ( Unlike the other type of louvers that buckle in a short span under the influence of U .V. RAYS from the sunlight.)

3. Have appropriate fixing arrangement for the ease of installation at site.

4. MECHANICALLY STRONG. Extra thickness is given at appropriate places, enabling this to withstand the Stresses and Shocks to which it is normally subjected to at site during its lifespan.

5. Lifting handle is provided.

Shape and Size :-

The size of the MOTOR PROTECTION SHELL is based on the physical dimensions of the motor cover it is so selected that a uniform clearance of at least 50mm is maintained on all sides with respect to the motor body for the purpose of:

• Proper Circulation Of Air Along With The Louvers
• For The Ease Of Installation/ Lifting

It Should Cover The Motor Fully To Protect From

• Rain water
• Chemical or water spillages
• Accidental fall of some material or the hit of some flying object under abnormal circumstances
