Some people might think using aluminum electrical metallic tubing (EMT) conduit in industrial applications is a mistake. They assume aluminum isn’t strong enough to withstand these demanding environments. But PullEase™ EMT from American Conduit is different. It’s strong enough to handle whatever challenges an industrial setting can pose. Companies use our PullEase™ EMT in many ways, such as the following.
Wiring Distribution
PullEase™ EMT is commonly used for wiring distribution in industrial facilities. It provides a secure and organized pathway for electrical wires and cables, ensuring the efficient distribution of power throughout the facility. Whether it’s connecting machinery, lighting systems, or control panels, PullEase™ EMT helps maintain the integrity of electrical systems.
Control Systems
Industrial processes often rely on complex control systems that require precise wiring. PullEase™ EMT serves as a protective conduit for the wiring of control systems. This includes the wiring for programmable logic controllers (PLCs), motor control centers and instrumentation systems. The conduit safeguards sensitive control wiring from physical damage, ensuring that machinery and equipment operate accurately and reliably.
Motor Wiring
Industrial machinery typically relies on powerful motors for operation. PullEase™ EMT is commonly used to route wiring for these motors. Its durable construction ensures that electrical connections to motors remain safe and secure, even in harsh industrial environments. This is critical for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of motors.
Lighting Systems
PullEase™ EMT is frequently used to protect the wiring for industrial lighting systems. It helps maintain consistent illumination in areas such as production floors, warehouses, and outdoor spaces. The conduit’s robust construction ensures that lighting systems remain operational, even in challenging environments.
Emergency Systems
PullEase™ EMT also plays a vital role in housing wiring for evacuation systems fire alarms and other emergency lighting systems. Its protective properties contribute to the overall safety of the facility.
Data and Communication Infrastructure
In today’s industrial environments, data and communication infrastructure are essential. PullEase™ EMT can house data and communication cabling, such as Ethernet and fiber optic cables. This infrastructure supports network connectivity, data transfer, and communication systems, allowing for efficient operations and data management.
Environmental Controls
Industrial facilities often require sophisticated environmental controls to maintain optimal conditions for processes, products, or worker comfort. PullEase™ EMT is used to route wiring for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, as well as environmental monitoring and control systems. This ensures that temperature, humidity and other environmental variables remain within specified parameters.
Hazardous Locations
In industrial settings where hazardous materials or conditions are present, safety is paramount. PullEase™ EMT can be used in hazardous locations to provide additional protection against environmental factors and potential explosions.
Conveyor Systems
Manufacturing and distribution facilities often employ conveyor systems for material handling. PullEase™ EMT routes wiring for conveyor motors, sensors and control systems. Its durability and ability to protect wiring from mechanical stress make it an excellent choice for these applications.
As you can see, there are many uses for PullEase™ EMT conduit in industrial applications. Its protective properties, durability and versatility make it a preferred choice for ensuring the proper functioning of electrical systems in the diverse and demanding industrial landscape.
