Food & Beverage applications for FPZ’s products.
FPZ’S side channel blowers, dosing pumps and industrial fans are used in the F & B sector in various forms and applications:
- Food drying systems
- Pasta production
- Tomato sauce preparation
- Wine and beer production
- Jam production
- Preserves production
- Packaging drying
- Pneumatic transport
- Pneumatic presses
- Cleaning in Place systems
Packaging drying systems
In drying systems, FPZ’s side channel blowers are used to remove drops of water or condensation, generated during the food washing and cleaning processes
Liquid drops removal
The blowers are used in combination with FPZ’s Windblade ™ Air Knife, to dry and completely remove liquid drops from the product, making it easier to label and handle.
Condensation removal
In addition, the blowers generate a hot air flow that removes the condensation from bottles thanks to a series of nozzles, adjustable in height, depth and inclination.
Our solutions
The blower models used for drying applications are from the MS and TS series, which can be also combined with the Windblade ™ Air Knife.
*Available with directly driven motor or elastic motor coupling in horizontal or vertical form
(MOR, GOR and GVR).
MS
Single impeller single stage*
TS
Double impeller single stage*

Pneumatic conveying
Side channel blowers are used in pneumatic conveying to move a certain product, held in aerodynamic suspension in a flow of gas, at a certain speed.
Product handling
In compression application
In pressure service, the blower is used to convey powders or solid products from a single point to another, or several different points.
In suction application
In vacuum, the exhauster is used to convey from one or several points back to a single point, in particular flours or powders that cannot be heated.
Our solutions
All the FPZ’s blowers are suitable for use in pneumatic conveying. Moreover, for potentially explosive environments, FPZ offers a wide range of ATEX certified machines.

Wine production
In the wine production process, the application of the side channel blower is aimed at squeezing the grapes through the inflatable membranes present in the pneumatic presses.
Grape pressing
The blower inflates the membranes inside the pneumatic presses to squeeze the grapes and extract the liquid.
Our solutions
The blower models used in the pneumatic presses are from the MS and the TS, which can also be coupled to a reversing valve.

Cleaning in Place systems
The Doseuro pump is used in Cleaning-In-Place plants for the washing process. Normally there are two pumps installed inside the single plant: 1 for dosing soda and 1 for dosing acid.
Dosage of soda and acid
1° phase – Soda dosage
The pump doses the amount of soda needed to wash away any residual fat and protein.
2° phase- Acid dosage
A second pump is used for the acid dosage, in order to wash any mineral deposit.
Our solutions
Spring return piston or mechanical diaphragm pumps are generally used in the CIP systems.

Doseuro is also able to offer a complete system consisting of dosing pump, tank, electric mixer
Pasta production
Within the F & B macro-sector, there’s a further use of the metering pump in the pasta industry.
Water dosage in the dough
The pump doses the amount of water to be used in the dough for the pasta preparation.
Our solutions
The pump models most commonly used in the pasta production process are the SR spring return pumps and the SDP solenoid pumps.

Tomato sauce preparation
In the preparation of tomato sauce, the metering pump is used to dose the amount of brine.
Brine dosage
The dosing pump, in this process, is used to dose the brine that gives flavour to the tomato sauce.
Our solutions
The SR Series – Type A piston spring return pump is the most popular type in this application.

Wine and beer production
Metering pumps are used in the filtration process for the production of beer and wine.
Diatomaceous earth dosage
In the wine and beer filtration process, the pump doses the amount of diatomaceous earth to be used.
Our solutions
In beer and wine filtration, the most commonly used is the spring return pump, mainly the vertical pump DV101, characterized by a total configuration flexibility.

Jam production
In the production of jams, the metering pump is used to dose the pectin.
Pectin dosage
The pump doses the amount of pectin needed in the jam production process.
Our solutions
The SR Series – Type A piston spring return pump is the most used in this application.

Preserves production
In the production process of preserves, citric acid is used to delay the product oxidation. This acid is dosed by the metering pump.
Citric acid dosage
The pump is used to dose citric acid, used as a E330 preservative.
Our solutions
The SR Series – Type A piston spring return pump is the most used in this application.

Food drying systems
Within the food sector, industrial fans can be used to dry food.
Food drying
The fans are used to dry and minimize the humidity present on certain foods, such as rice, cereals or coffee.
Our solutions
All Arivent fans are suitable for this application: built in AISI 304 or 316 and in case of explosive environments, Arivent manufactures Atex certified fans.
