Electric Grain Motor Products & Services
The grain business depends on the smooth efficiency of electric motors to keep systems up and running. Grain elevators, rice mills, dust pellet mills, flour mills, and feed mills are home to some of the most demanding conditions for electric motors, increasing the necessity for quality and safety.
At IBT Industrial Solutions, your safety is our top priority. That’s why we offer high-performance electric grain motor products and solutions with all the essential features you need to maintain your agriculture applications.
IBT offers the following industrial electric grain motors:
- General purpose motors
- Premium efficiency motors
- Severe duty motors
- Explosion-proof motors
- Fractional motors
- Air-handling motors
- Pump motors
- Farm duty motors
- Totally enclosed fan-cooled motors
Explosion-Proof Electric Grain Motors
Combustible dust, oxygen, and ignition sources are all present in many agricultural environments, so flames can ignite. If those flames are not contained, the fire can spread, resulting in a dangerous explosion.
Explosion-proof electric grain motors are constructed with heavy-duty enclosures that can contain an internal explosion without rupturing if one occurs. These motors must be clearly labeled and include flame paths, which allow hot gasses to cool before escaping, protecting against thermal overload.
Electric grain motor features such as these ensure a longer motor life, safer systems, energy efficiency, and overall reliability.
Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooled Electric Grain Motors
Totally Enclosed Fan-Cooling (TEFC) refers to an industrial electric grain motor that is equipped with an external fan to circulate outside air across the motor. This motor is commonly used in many industrial and agricultural environments and applications.
A TEFC motor offers increased protection against weather, dirt, and moisture, which helps prevent motor failure and extends motor life.
IBT partners with the best manufacturers in the business to offer our customers the best grain motors for the job.
Baldor offers a full line of severe-duty and explosion-proof electric motors specifically designed for farm and agricultural applications. Their Farm Duty line of motors are all built with reliability at the forefront.

Siemens SIMOTICS Motors
For rugged and efficient operating performance, Siemens SIMOTICS severe-duty and explosion-proof electric motors are built to survive the toughest environments. Motor features include Class F insulation, Condensation drains, Cast Iron Construction, and a Stainless Steel nameplate. Severe-duty motors and Explosion-Proof Motors are Inverter-Duty capable.
- SD100 Severe Duty Motors, including Division 2 Environments
- XP100 for Gas, Vapors & Dust Ignition-Proof Environments
Many motors have additional key features to protect them from harsh environments, such as:
- Heavy-duty epoxy paint
- Enclosed designs with sealed bearings
- Lip seal
- V-ring slinger on the drive end of the motor to help keep contaminants out
- Class B, F, and H insulation systems
Marathon Farm Duty Agricultural Motors:
Marathon’s electric grain 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, agriculture motors are also built to provide higher starting torques. The Farm Duty line of motors is 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.
