Was established on July 15, 2003, and is headquartered in Baoji City, Shaanxi Province, the same city with BOMCO. As a leading manufacturer of petroleum machinery and components, we were among the first outstanding enterprises in our local industry to begin exporting our products and engage in both import and export business.
For many years, we have dedicated ourselves to manufacturing high-quality petroleum machinery and supplying reliable products and technical services to drilling companies and oilfield equipment traders worldwide.
The global demand for explosion proof electrical equipment is accelerating, driven by expanding oil & gas operations, stricter safety regulations, and the growth of hazardous industrial facilities worldwide.
The explosion proof equipment market is projected to exceed USD 12 billion by 2030, with explosion proof plugs representing a critical segment. Growth is primarily driven by Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and North American oilfield development.
Regulatory bodies including ATEX (EU), IECEx (International), UL (North America), and CNEX (China) mandate the use of certified explosion proof plugs in Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 classified hazardous locations.
Modern explosion proof plugs now integrate smart monitoring, corrosion-resistant materials, and modular designs โ enabling faster installation, reduced maintenance cycles, and enhanced operational safety in extreme environments.
Our flagship explosion proof plug solutions โ engineered for the most demanding hazardous area applications in oil & gas, petrochemical, and industrial environments.
MTPM manufactures a complete range of heavy-duty explosion proof plug solutions engineered for crown block and traveling block hazardous area applications.
MTPM TC-315 Guide Sheave Assembly explosion proof plug is a forged-welded solution designed for hazardous area electrical connections in drilling operations.
F800HL high pressure explosion proof plug solutions for mud pump electrical systems operating in explosive hazardous area classifications.
Certified explosion proof plugs for drawworks power transmission systems โ built for continuous operation in Zone 1 and Zone 2 explosive hazardous areas.
Every explosion proof plug we manufacture is engineered to meet the highest safety and performance standards for explosive hazardous areas.
Robust metal housing prevents internal ignition from propagating to the external explosive atmosphere, meeting IEC 60079-1 standards.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, aluminum alloy, and brass โ ensuring long-term durability in offshore, subsea, and chemical plant environments.
Rated for operation from -60ยฐC to +80ยฐC, making them suitable for Arctic drilling operations, desert oilfields, and high-temperature industrial processes.
Available in 2-pin to 20-pin configurations with current ratings from 16A to 250A, supporting diverse power and signal transmission requirements.
Complete dust-tight and waterproof sealing ensures reliable performance in wet, humid, and submerged conditions typical of offshore platforms.
Bayonet and threaded locking systems enable rapid, tool-free connection and disconnection โ minimizing downtime during maintenance in hazardous zones.
Integrated electromagnetic interference shielding protects sensitive instrumentation and control systems from electrical noise in heavy industrial environments.
Simultaneously certified to ATEX, IECEx, UL, cUL, CNEX, and EAC standards โ enabling seamless deployment across international project sites.
In explosive hazardous areas โ including oil refineries, gas processing plants, offshore drilling platforms, chemical storage facilities, and coal mines โ even a single spark from an uncertified electrical connection can trigger catastrophic explosions. Explosion proof plugs are not merely a compliance checkbox; they are the last line of defense between normal operations and disaster. Investing in certified, high-quality explosion proof plugs directly reduces insurance premiums, regulatory penalties, and most critically, protects human lives.
From upstream oil extraction to downstream chemical processing, explosion proof plugs serve as the critical electrical connection component across the most hazardous industrial environments on earth.
On drilling rigs, explosion proof plugs connect power supplies to mud pumps, drawworks motors, top drive systems, and BOP controls. Operating in Zone 1 classified areas where flammable gas concentrations are intermittently present, these plugs must withstand mechanical vibration, saltwater spray, and extreme temperature fluctuations while maintaining continuous electrical integrity during 24/7 drilling operations.
In petrochemical complexes, explosion proof plugs are deployed throughout distillation columns, reactor vessels, storage tank farms, and pipeline pump stations. With continuous presence of flammable vapors classifying most areas as Zone 1 or Zone 2, plugs must provide reliable power connections for process pumps, compressors, agitators, and instrumentation systems while withstanding aggressive chemical atmospheres.
Coal mines present one of the most severe explosive hazards due to methane gas and coal dust. Explosion proof plugs in mining applications must meet the stringent Ex d IIC classification, connecting power to conveyor drives, ventilation fans, cutting machines, and emergency lighting systems. The plugs must also withstand continuous mechanical shock and abrasive dust ingress in confined underground tunnels.
Liquefied natural gas terminals require explosion proof plugs rated for cryogenic temperatures as low as -162ยฐC in loading arm connections, cryogenic pump systems, and boil-off gas compressor stations. These specialized plugs must maintain their explosion proof integrity across extreme thermal cycling while providing reliable connections for critical safety instrumented systems.
Modern pharmaceutical plants handling alcohol-based solvents, ether compounds, and flammable excipients require explosion proof plugs throughout their production areas. These plugs connect power to mixing vessels, spray dryers, solvent recovery systems, and clean room HVAC equipment โ all while meeting both explosion proof and hygienic design requirements for GMP-compliant facilities.
Grain silos, flour mills, sugar processing plants, and feed manufacturing facilities generate highly explosive combustible dust atmospheres (Zone 21/Zone 22). Explosion proof plugs in these applications power conveyor systems, bucket elevators, dust collection fans, and milling equipment โ requiring Ex tD (dust ignition proof) certification alongside standard flameproof ratings.
The explosion proof plug industry is undergoing rapid technological transformation driven by Industry 4.0, digitalization, and evolving global safety standards.
Next-generation explosion proof plugs incorporate embedded sensors for real-time monitoring of connection integrity, temperature, humidity, and arc detection โ transmitting data wirelessly to plant control systems for predictive maintenance.
Advanced polymer composites and fiber-reinforced plastics are replacing traditional cast iron in non-sparking environments, reducing plug weight by up to 60% while maintaining full explosion proof performance โ critical for offshore weight reduction programs.
The industry is moving toward globally standardized modular explosion proof plug systems that allow interchangeable inserts, reducing spare parts inventory and enabling faster field reconfiguration without compromising hazardous area certification.
As industrial facilities deploy larger variable frequency drives and high-power motors, explosion proof plugs are being engineered for currents exceeding 400A and voltages up to 11kV โ expanding their application into medium-voltage hazardous area power distribution.
With the global transition to green hydrogen production, explosion proof plugs are being redesigned and re-certified for hydrogen gas atmospheres (IIC gas group) โ the most demanding classification, requiring tighter flameproof gaps and new sealing technologies.
Leading manufacturers are developing digital twin models of explosion proof plug installations, enabling AI-powered hazardous area classification analysis, automatic compliance documentation generation, and virtual inspection capabilities.
