Centrifugal blowers (FIMA)
Description

FIMA Maschinenbau GmbH is a German manufacturer specialised in the design and supply of centrifugal gas blowers and compressors for heavy-duty industrial services, where the priority is to ensure mechanical robustness, high availability and adaptability to real process conditions. Its offering is based on custom engineering solutions, capable of operating in demanding environments through pressure-resistant, gas-tight executions with high corrosion resistance, making them a particularly solid option for applications in chemical, petrochemical and refinery environments.

From a specification standpoint, FIMA equipment is aligned with the main industrial standards, including API 617 (9th edition, chapters 1–3), as well as API 614, 670, 671, 672 and 673, in addition to DIN EN standards. This positioning allows direct integration into projects with demanding technical requirements, where consistency with API standards is a key factor for engineering approval and risk reduction in operation.

In terms of performance, the radial blower range covers flow rates from 80 to 500,000 m³/h, with pressures of up to 100 bar, compression ratios of up to 1.5, speeds of up to 12,000 rpm and power outputs of up to 5 MW. This range allows addressing both conventional services and more demanding process applications, including combustion air, process gas handling, recirculation and flue gas treatment, where stability and mechanical reliability are decisive.

The added value of FIMA lies in its engineering approach: optimised material selection for corrosion and abrasion resistance, heavy-duty impeller manufacturing in special steels and alloys, and a clear orientation towards regulatory compliance. This allows the delivery of solutions adapted to each process, with a level of reliability that positions FIMA as a suitable technical partner for the most demanding industrial applications.
