SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR
Reliable, safe and rugged in operation - the SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR
SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR combines classical CHEMSTAR technology with Siemens’ SIMOTICS low-voltage motor platform. For about 25 years, CHEMSTAR has been setting technical standards for explosion-protected motors in the oil & gas and chemical industries – where it has proven itself 100,000 times overEvery year, millions of motors based on the SIMOTICS low-voltage motor platform leave the assembly line. What sets them apart is high quality standards, short delivery times, and simple yet fast workflows, from planning, procurement, and engineering to integration and service.
CHEMSTAR represents decades of experience in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and chemical industries. The SIMOTICS platform adds the benefits derived from a well-honed and stable series production environment: seamless quality checks; highly efficient and intuitive standard tools for simple selection, configuration, and commissioning; simplified ordering processes; short delivery times‘ and a high degree of standardization of the components used. SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR synergizes the best features from both of these worlds. The result of this synergy is a new technology standard for explosion-protected motors in process industries, today and tomorrow.

The benefits at a glance
- Maximum operational safety, availability, and reliability even in extreme environmentsPreconfigured option packages for the chemical and oil & gas industries, such as industry-specific coatings with category C4 corrosion protection, stainless steel screws and bolts, and an industry-specific, extended warranty period
- Free choice of options, such as reduced inlet currents, motor monitoring, reinforced bearings, tropical climate version for extreme humidity, special coating systems, or offshore C5M-M classification
- Significant cost savings by simplified overall processes
- Short delivery times, faster project execution
- Reduced specification work, fewer changes and clarifications
- Documentation that can be flexibly adapted to simple or highly complex projects
Designed for harsh operating environments
Our new motor generation covers the range from 0.25 to 500 kilowatts (kW) for Ex eb, Ex ec, Ex db, Ex tb, and Ex tc zone 1 and 2 ignition protection types. They feature a very rugged design with a housing and bearing plates in gray cast iron and a fan shroud in steel. Their high efficiency class (IE3) results in low operating costs. Predefined industry-specific packages, such as special coatings for high, category C4 corrosion protection and stainless steel screws/bolts, as well as extended warranty periods, are available to complement the perfect fit of SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR in chemical, oil & gas, and petrochemical processes. Further, freely configurable options include reduced inlet currents, motor monitoring, reinforced bearings, and tropical climate versions.
SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR for petrochemical and oil & gas processes
SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR for petrochemical and oil & gas processes
The high investment costs and long lifecycles associated especially with large plants in the petrochemical and oil & gas industries, as well as the increasing environmental and emission protection requirements in these markets, all demand top performance and maximum efficiency.
Your benefit:
With SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR explosion-protected motors, you can save a lot of time while achieving maximum safety at lower life cycle cost.
SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR for chemical processes
Increasing scarcity of resources, rising cost pressures, extensive safety requirements, and strict environmental regulations mean that there is no compromising when it comes to choosing a drive system.
Your benefit:
With SIMOTICS XP CHEMSTAR explosion-protected motors you benefit from maximum safety and dependability in chemical processing. The motors address all hazard zones: Zones 1 and 2 for gas explosion protection as well as Zones 21 and 22 for dust explosion protection. This is implemented in a standard and unified way for all common types of protection (Ex db, Ex eb, Ex ec, Ex tb, and Ex tc).
The range embraces all engineering and performance requirements for maximum safety and efficiency in this demanding field, while it helps speed up your engineering and adapts with ease to upcoming needs.
