Fans, blowers, and pumps for the dosing of chemical products in the chemical-pharmaceutical industry
Designing plants for the chemical-pharmaceutical industry requires overcoming complex challenges, where process stability and the prevention of cross-contamination are non-negotiable requirements . In this scenario, the FPZ technological ecosystem is developed to guarantee synergetic management of fluid dynamics, integrating precision and reliability within workflows subject to rigorous GMP protocols and ATEX directives.
In the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and specialty chemicals, dosing accuracy and component resistance to aggressive reagents are fundamental to guarantee batch repeatability and the integrity of the final product. Our pumps for the dosing of chemical products are integrated into critical processes such as CIP (Cleaning In Place) and SIP (Sterilization In Place) washing and sterilization cycles, while simultaneously ensuring efficiency in chemical industry dosing pumps applications for process water treatment. This precision in liquid control finds a natural complement in air handling technologies: side channel blowers optimize pneumatic powder conveying, dust suction, and drying systems, maintaining the pressure differentials necessary for cleanroom sterility and the effectiveness of filtration processes .
FPZ’s holistic approach extends to laboratory environment safety and emissions management, where high-efficiency industrial fans operate in combination with suction hoods and air treatment systems for the capture of vapors and volatile solvents. From chemical synthesis to pharmaceutical finishing, every machine is configured to minimize risks of saturation and plant downtime, offering a modular technological architecture capable of elevating the standards of operational safety and energy sustainability across the entire production site.
The chemical and pharmaceutical industry sees the use of side channel blowers, dosing pumps and industrial fans in numerous forms and applications:
- Pneumatic conveying
- Drying systems
- Industrial vacuum cleaners
- Cleaning in Place and Sterilization in Place systems
- Water Treatment
- Production of active principles
- Production of chemicals
- Clean room sterilization
- Air treatment systems
- Laboratory fume hoods
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.
In compression applications
In this configuration the blower is used for conveying raw materials necessary for the production of drugs such as powders and granules from a single point to several points.
In suction applications
In this configuration the blower is used to convey raw materials necessary for the production of drugs such as powders and granules from several points to a single point.

Drying systems
In drying systems, FPZ side channel blowers are used to remove drops of water or condensation, generated during the washing process and sanitizing of products.
Liquid drops and condensation removal
The product passes inside a drying tunnel in which the blowers generate a flow of hot air which, through a series of nozzles adjustable in height, depth and inclination, remove the droplets of liquid and condensation from the product. Thanks to the drying it is possible to proceed with the subsequent stages of processing.
The blowers can also be used in combination with FPZ Windblade ™ air knives.
Drying systems are also used in the sectors: Food & Beverage and Metalworking and Mining.
Our solutions
The families of blowers used for drying applications are the MS and TS, possibly combined with Windblade ™ air knife.
