Protected Inside and Out by the Leading Submersible Motor Technology.

By successfully combining engineering disciplines, Bluffton Motor Works' revolutionary HydroDuty motors' solutions are the perfect and dependable choice of motors for operation in harsh, high moisture or specialty environments. The stainless steel HydroDuty motor, protected inside and out by the leading submersible motor technology, is designed for unequaled operation in washdown, corrosive and specialty manufacturing environments.

Expect a longer motor life from HydroDuty motors even when used in applications that subject the motor to high-pressure washdown spray (i.e. food processing sanitation procedures), high levels of humidity and/or condensation, direct exposure to the outdoor elements, exposure to salt air/water, or exposure to corrosive chemical fumes/solutions.

Applications where HydroDuty motors will excel are food processing, pharmaceutical production, corrosive chemical processing/handling, harsh manufacturing processes, marine/outdoor duty, and other extreme operating environments.

Why HydroDuty?

Bluffton Motor Works HydroDuty line of washdown and specialty motors are simply the best!

Innovation of design, patented application of technology, superior materials and advanced manufacturing process make the HydroDuty the longest life-cycle washdown duty motor available on the market today.
