Expanded Industrial Applications of Leeson Motors
Powering Productivity Across Every Sector
Leeson Motors are not “one-size-fits-all.” They’re engineered for industry-specific challenges, often outperforming competitors in reliability and cost-efficiency. Here's a deeper dive into the most common industrial sectors where Leeson Motors are essential:
🧱 1. Aggregate & Construction
From quarries to concrete plants, Leeson motors drive key machinery such as:
-
Rock crushers
-
Cement mixers
-
Belt conveyors
-
Gravel sorters
-
Batchers
Leeson's severe duty motors resist abrasive dust, moisture, and vibrations, reducing breakdowns and costly downtime. Their high torque and TEFC enclosures ensure consistent performance on rugged job sites.
🥛 2. Food & Beverage Processing
In USDA-regulated plants, hygiene is everything. Leeson’s washdown-duty motors are sealed, corrosion-resistant, and designed for frequent sanitation.
-
Dairy pasteurizers
-
Conveyor belts in meat plants
-
Bottling and capping machines
-
Commercial ovens and mixers
The Premium Duck™ series is especially valuable in food-safe environments, preventing contamination while withstanding chemical washdowns with nitric acid or caustic agents.
🌾 3. Agriculture & Farming
Leeson motors are a staple in livestock, grain, and irrigation systems due to their dependable operation and adaptability to rural electrical setups.
-
Grain augers and elevators
-
Water pumps and irrigation pivots
-
Feed systems
-
Greenhouse ventilation and temperature control
Leeson’s single-phase motors, particularly from the ecoSaver™ line, offer ideal solutions for farm environments using residential-style power.

💨 4. HVAC & Air Handling
Commercial and industrial HVAC systems rely on motors that can endure continuous use and variable speeds. Leeson offers motors for:
-
Large-scale air handlers
-
Chillers and evaporators
-
Roof ventilators
-
High-pressure blowers
Their motors are inverter duty-rated, making them perfect for VFD-controlled HVAC systems, helping reduce energy consumption while extending system life.
💉 5. Pharmaceutical & Chemical Industries
Precision, safety, and clean environments are vital in these industries. Leeson’s hazardous location and explosion-proof motors meet strict OSHA and NFPA standards.
The motors are available with IEEE Chemical Duty ratings, corrosion-resistant coatings, and tight-seal designs to withstand volatile atmospheres.
💧 6. Water & Wastewater Treatment
Water treatment plants operate nonstop, requiring motors that can run reliably in wet, corrosive, or confined conditions. Leeson motors are used in:
-
Aerators
-
Clarifier scrapers
-
Sludge pumps
-
UV sterilization systems
TEFC and totally enclosed blower-cooled (TEBC) motors with IP56/IP65 ratings are critical in this setting for preventing moisture ingress and maintaining motor health.
🚛 7. Material Handling & Packaging
Conveyor belts, hoists, automated loading systems—these all depend on high-torque, responsive motors. Leeson’s general purpose and brake motors are often used in:
-
Warehousing conveyors
-
Carton formers
-
Robotic packaging arms
-
Dock lifts
Leeson motors’ flexible mounting configurations allow for integration into tight automation footprints.
