Emtivac Engineering: The vacuum powerhouse behind Australian industry
In the world of heavy industry, some of the most vital work happens out of sight. That’s where Emtivac Engineering thrives—designing and delivering vacuum, blower, and pumping systems that keep Australia’s biggest operations moving. From mines and refineries to paper mills and power stations, Emtivac has built a reputation for solutions that don’t just work—they endure.
Proudly Australian-owned and operating for more than 25 years, the company has grown into a trusted partner across mining, manufacturing, processing, and energy. Its Dandenong South base may not make headlines, but the engineering delivered from there reaches far and wide—both nationally and on global level.
Emtivac’s product range is broad and highly specialised: rotary vane and dry screw vacuum pumps, large-capacity liquid ring systems, blowers, centrifugal pumps, liquid ring compressors, and even protective coatings designed to extend equipment life. Just as importantly, the company offers a comprehensive maintenance and service program, because in industry, uptime is everything.
“We understand that when a pump fails, production stops. That’s why our clients count on us for reliability and service as much as for the equipment itself,” says National Sales Manager, Michael Wilkinson.
Vacuum Technology That Doesn’t Miss a Beat
While deeply rooted in Australia, Emtivac has proven its capability on the world stage. The business has delivered large-scale liquid-ring vacuum pump systems for an aluminium refinery in Saudi Arabia and a flare gas recovery compressor package for a Malaysian oil refinery. These projects involved complete design, fabrication, and integration with sophisticated control and safety systems—showcasing the company’s ability to handle technically demanding challenges in some of the toughest environments.
Closer to home, Emtivac works across mining, coal handling, methane drainage, paste backfill, sugar, and paper. It is also the exclusive Australian agent for global brands like Pompetravaini and FPZ, giving local clients access to world-class technology combined with Emtivac’s hands-on engineering expertise.
Delivering More Than Equipment
Efficiency is a common thread through Emtivac’s work. By running efficiency audits and performance checks, the company has helped clients cut energy consumption by as much as 50 percent. That’s not just good for the bottom line—it’s good for sustainability too.
“Our role goes beyond supplying pumps,” says Wilkinson. “We deliver complete systems that are stable, efficient, and designed to keep production flowing with minimal downtime.”
Emtivac also offers a full suite of onsite and offsite maintenance services, from inspections and overhauls to performance testing, pump descaling, and advanced protective coatings. This focus on lifecycle support helps extend the working life of equipment while reducing the risk of costly unplanned shutdowns.
Powering Industry, One Pump at a Time
Emtivac’s reputation is built on a simple but powerful formula: robust, ISO-certified equipment backed by engineering expertise and 24/7 support. For clients, that means confidence. Whether it’s a coal mine in Queensland, a refinery overseas, or a paper mill in Victoria, Emtivac is there to keep production lines running smoothly.
“Industry is changing fast,” Wilkinson reflects. “Our job is to help clients stay ahead—by giving them reliable solutions that save energy, reduce downtime, and deliver real value. That’s what Emtivac is all about.”
Vacuum Solutions with Real-World Impact
Vacuum pumps and compressors may not capture headlines, but without them, the nation’s industries would grind to a halt. Emtivac knows this better than anyone—and has built its business on making sure it never happens. In doing so, the company has become an unsung hero of Australian industry, delivering the invisible power that keeps the wheels of production turning.
