KTR MINEX 65 Magnetic Coupling — Zero-Leak Solution for Saudi Chemical and Pharmaceutical Plants

KTR MINEX 65 Magnetic Coupling — Hermetically Sealed, Zero-Emission Shaft Connection

The KTR MINEX 65 is a magnetic coupling that transmits power through a magnetic field gap, providing a completely hermetically sealed connection between the drive motor and driven equipment. For Saudi Arabia chemical processing, pharmaceutical, and food industries — where leakage prevention is critical — the MINEX 65 eliminates seal wear, leakage paths, and fugitive emissions compliance concerns.

Saudi chemical plants in Jubail and Yanbu handle corrosive, toxic, and flammable process media where shaft seal leakage poses HSE risks. The MINEX 65 magnetic torque transmission eliminates mechanical shaft penetration entirely, achieving zero leakage by design — critical for ATEX Zone 1 hazardous area applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Permanent neodymium magnets in inner (drive) and outer (driven) flanges create a permanent magnetic field that couples torque through the gap.

Q2: Yes — the MINEX 65 acts as a slip coupling. If the driven shaft stalls, the magnetic coupling slips at a pre-set torque threshold.

Q3: Yes — ATEX-certified versions for Zones 1, 2, 21, and 22 are available.

Q4: Standard version rated to +200°C process media temperature. For high-ambient applications (above 50°C), specify high-temperature version.

Q5: Yes — IP67-rated version handles high-pressure washdown.
