Advantages of our VapoFlex for Mechanical Vapor Recompression


PILLER MVR blowers guarantee smooth and reliable long-term operation, and its unique design is the key to significantly reduce the operating costs.

Through the variety of over 150 different high-efficiency impellers in single or serial connection, our VapoFlex's are a perfect match for any evaporation process and essential contributors for stability, efficiency, quality and cost-effectiveness of your process. 

Our VapoFlex at a glance:
  • Efficiency of up to 87 percent  
  • Designed for applications with mass flows up to 250,000 kg/h  
  • Ideal solution for any steam compression with system pressures up to 8 bar (g) 
  • Temperature rise of 11 K per stage 
  • Engineered-To-Order (ETO) 
  • For optimizing existing plant operations or processes, as well as for implementing in new installations 

What means Engineered-to-Order?

The VapoFlex solutions are perfectly designed and manufactured to suit a wide range of MVR applications. Finite Element Method (FEM) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) along with extensive empirical testing provide for continuous optimization of the performance and efficiency of our blowers – up to the performance limits of the individual selected materials. Every component is designed and selected to support performance and ease of assembly and maintenance. 

The drive concept

  • Our patented squeeze oil bearing combines the simplicity of anti-friction bearings with the performance of hydrodynamic bearings
  • VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) or D.O.L (Direct On Line, with inlet guide vane operation)  
  • Electric motors or steam turbines, according to customer specifications and technical requirements 
  • Motor capacity up to 6 MW
