I have an application in the food industry (flour, powdered ingredients, etc...) that will probably use an AB HPK series motor, but this environment is very dusty. My concern is the blower attached to the motor. I'm wondering if the blower will allow dust to enter the motor housing. If anyone has worked with these motors, I'd appreciate some guidance. Thanks.
