FPZ is a global leader in the manufacturing of intelligent fluid handling solutions. With a direct presence in over 70 countries and 4 production plants, the company offers personalized assistance and continuous innovation, guaranteeing technically advanced machines designed according to the most rigorous standards of Lean Manufacturing.

Side channel blowers


FPZ lateral channel blowers represent engineering excellence for the compression and suction treatment of air, technical gases, and biogas. Designed to ensure reliability with reduced maintenance, these regenerative blower machines operate according to a fluid dynamic principle that ensures constant air flows, making them ideal for continuous duty cycles.

Side channel blower featuring superior performance and operational versatility

Advanced technologies for air and gas flow control

The operation of every FPZ side channel air blower is optimized to minimize aerodynamic losses and maximize energy efficiency. Thanks to production flexibility, it is possible to configure each electric side channel blower with IE3 motors and specific protections, ensuring consistent performance as both a ring compressor blower and in suction mode as side channel exhausters. The range meets the needs of the most demanding sectors, from water treatment to automation, guaranteeing the highest quality of materials and construction precision.

Lifecycle support

Global technical support (Flow Global Support™)


FPZ guarantees professional support through Flow Global Support™, following the customer from installation to prevention. A team of international experts ensures quality maintenance with original spare parts, optimizing the product lifecycle and drastically reducing unplanned machine downtime for consistently reliable performance over time.

Thermal efficiency

Reducing the fluid temperature increase


The Smartwave™ technology of EVO blowers allows for a reduction in the fluid temperature increase of up to 15%. This increase in energy efficiency protects downstream systems and improves the overall yield of the vortex air blower, optimizing thermal processes and significantly reducing the plant's electricity consumption.

Lean quality

Lean Manufacturing


FPZ adopts the "Lean Manufacturing" methodology to minimize waste and simplify production processes in a pull perspective. This approach guarantees the absence of defects and excellence in punctuality, ensuring that every vortex blower is made with millimetric precision to respond exactly to the technical specifications and timelines requested by the customer.

Built to last longer

Designed for continuous operation


FPZ lateral channel blowers are engineered to operate 24/7 without performance drops. The robust design and dynamic balance of the impeller allow for intensive use in suction and compression, making them the preferred choice for primary air processes and continuous industrial duty cycles.

Drying systems

Compatible with Windblade™ drying systems


Windblade™ air knives are accessories designed to channel the air flow into a uniform and controlled jet. The optimal pairing with FPZ air ring blower units guarantees maximum efficiency in drying and cooling systems, eliminating moisture residues with maximum aerodynamic precision and zero maintenance requirements.

Acoustic comfort

Discover Smartwave™ technology


The result of patented psychoacoustic research, Smartwave™ technology reduces acoustic impact by up to 30% by cutting the highest frequencies. The innovative impeller distributes the emitted noise uniformly across the audible range, masking the characteristic whistling sound and significantly improving the well-being of operators exposed to the smoke ring blower.

Special Projects Division

Tailor made solutions for highly customized applications


The Special Project division is able to develop engineered custom solutions, designed based on the specific needs of the customer.

The range of FPZ side channel blowers

Customized solutions for every pressure and vacuum requirement
