Side channel blower type MS
One impeller, single-stage – up to 1,024 m³/h
The MS type is FPZ’s most versatile series: one impeller, one compression channel, a simple and robust machine. Twelve sizes cover a wide range, from the small 0.2 kW blower to the blower with over 1,000 m³/h.
Whether you are conveying air, aerating a basin or holding workpieces by suction: for medium pressures and vacuums, the MS type is the first choice in most cases.
Flow rate
up to 1,024 m³/h
Pressure
up to 450 mbar
Vacuum
up to 350 mbar
Motor power
0.2 to 18.5 kW
Why type MS?
With one impeller and one stage, the blower stays compact, light and economical to run. The larger sizes e07 to e12 belong to the EVO generation with the Smartwave™ impeller: they run more quietly and heat the air less.
Because the range is so finely graded, we can find a size for almost every operating point that is not oversized. This saves electricity over the entire service life.
- Oil-free: the air only comes into contact with the impeller, not with lubricants
- Direct drive: the impeller sits on the motor shaft, without belts or gearbox
- Non-contact and low-wear: apart from the bearings, there are no parts that wear
- Built for continuous operation: IE3 motors, IP55 protection, insulation class F
- Pressure or vacuum with the same machine
- Light, robust die-cast aluminium housing
Typical applications
Water and wastewater
Aeration of treatment tanks, ponds and aquaculture with an even, oil-free air flow.
Packaging and automation
Vacuum for gripping, holding and positioning parts and films.
Drying and blow-off
Together with the Windblade™ air knife for drying and cleaning products.
Conveying and extraction
Pneumatic conveying of granules and powder, extraction of dust and fumes.

Frequently asked questions
When is type MS the right choice?
When you need medium pressures up to around 450 mbar or vacuum levels up to around 350 mbar. If your application needs considerably more air, type TS is the alternative; if it needs more pressure, type MD.
Can the same blower generate pressure and vacuum?
Yes. A side channel blower blows on the pressure side and sucks on the suction side. Whether you use it as a blower or a vacuum generator depends only on which side you connect. The achievable values differ; see the table.
Do the values also apply at 60 Hz or with a frequency inverter?
The table shows the values at 50 Hz. At 60 Hz or with a frequency inverter, flow rate and power increase; this also allows the blower to be controlled precisely to demand. The 60 Hz values are in the catalogue.
Which accessories do I need?
At least an inlet filter and a pressure or vacuum relief valve that protects the blower against overload. Depending on the system, silencers, a check valve, a pressure gauge and an acoustic enclosure are added. Everything fits together and comes from a single source – us; see Accessories.
How much maintenance does a side channel blower need?
Very little. The impeller runs without contact, and there is neither oil nor belt. The main things to check are the inlet filter and, after many operating hours, the bearings. On request, we take care of maintenance and repair for you.

Which blower suits your application?
Flow rate, pressure or vacuum, the conveyed medium and the operating times determine which series and size are right. We size the blower with you, supply the matching accessories and take care of installation and service.
