Side channel blowers generate pressure or vacuum with a non-contact rotating impeller: oil-free, quiet and virtually maintenance-free. We supply blowers from FPZ in Concorezzo near Milan, for air, biogas and technical gases.
How a side channel blower works
An impeller with many blades rotates in an annular channel. The air is caught by the blades, flung outwards and guided back to the blade root in the side channel. This repeats many times on the way round the housing; with each pass, the pressure rises.
Because the impeller touches nothing and no oil is involved, the air stays clean and the blower hardly wears. On the pressure side it blows, on the suction side it generates vacuum.
- Oil-free air, no lubricants in the compression chamber
- Even, pulsation-free airflow
- For continuous operation around the clock
- Hardly any wear, little maintenance
- Pressure and vacuum with the same machine
The four series
One or two impellers, one or two stages: two impellers deliver more air, two stages more pressure. The larger sizes e07 to e12 of all four series belong to the EVO generation with the Smartwave™ impeller.
| Series | Design | Flow rate [m³/h] | Pressure [mbar] | Vacuum [mbar] | Motor [kW] |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Type MS | one impeller, single-stage | up to 1,024 | up to 450 | up to 350 | 0,2 – 18,5 |
| Type TS | two impellers, single-stage | up to 2,106 | up to 375 | up to 300 | 3 – 22 |
| Type MD | one impeller, two-stage | up to 521 | up to 650 | up to 450 | 0,55 – 15 |
| Type TD | two impellers, two-stage | up to 1,046 | up to 600 | up to 450 | 2,2 – 22 |
Values at 50 Hz according to the FPZ catalogue. The motor power depends on the operating point; at 60 Hz, flow rate and power are higher. We will be happy to size the right model for your operating point.

Which side channel blower is right?
Flow rate, pressure or vacuum, medium and operating times determine the choice. We advise you, supply blowers and accessories, install the system and take care of maintenance and repair.
