MEX vapour recovery pumps for petrol stations
Choose a safe, economical and sustainable vapour recovery system
For decades, our high-quality vapour recovery pumps have ensured safe and cost-effective operation at petrol stations worldwide. Whether belt-driven or direct-drive, whether featuring a traditional proportional valve or modern electronic speed control – we’d be happy to advise you on the various models.
The new “MEX Vapour Control” product range is based on a direct drive and features electronic speed control, thereby eliminating the need for the proportional valve previously required for vapour recovery. The electronic speed control ensures that petrol vapours are extracted optimally whilst simultaneously reducing mechanical wear on the motor and other mechanical components, as these only operate at maximum power when required. This ensures better energy efficiency and a longer service life.
This technological innovation provides you with a comprehensive vapour recovery solution for use in petrol pumps. At the same time, you are investing in a highly durable vapour recovery pump that offers great potential for the ‘Smart Solution’ of tomorrow.

MEX Vapour Control
The complete solution for your fuel dispenser.
The MEX Vapour Control vapour recovery pump consists of a particularly compact MEX direct-drive single-cylinder motor and a frequency converter, which controls the motor’s speed for vapour recovery.
The “DürrTronic MEX-Soft” PC software is available free of charge to customers for the installation and calibration of the vapour recovery system.

Specific benefits of the MEX Vapour Control gas recirculation pump:
- Reduced operating costs through the use of an energy-efficient, high-efficiency IE3 motor
- Longer service life and reduced maintenance requirements thanks to lower wear on mechanical components resulting from soft start-up with low inrush currents
- Precise speed control via a frequency converter rather than a proportional valve
- Effective use of electrical energy thanks to a high power factor
- Quiet operation thanks to optimal control of the vapour recovery pump for the specific application
- Reduced heat generation through more precise utilisation of the gas recirculation pump during the refuelling process
