FS-Elliott How Does a Centrifugal Compressor Work

Client: FS-ElliottIndustry: industrial compressor systemsAgency: EMGRole: AnimationYear: 2017

Problem

FS-Elliott needed a visual way to explain a technical product, system, process, or differentiator that would be difficult to show clearly with live footage alone.

Client / industry

FS-Elliott works in industrial compressor systems. MayoFlux framed the work for the audience, use case, and product context behind the assignment.

Input assets

Agency direction from EMG, plus cAD or product references, technical notes, brand direction, sales context, engineering feedback, and available media or scripts.

Production process

MayoFlux shaped the story, prepared assets, built simulation or particle work where needed, then handled animation, lighting, rendering, compositing, and review cycles.

Deliverables

Product animation masters, web-ready embeds, sales or trade show versions, and visual assets that can be reused across launch, training, and follow-up.

Outcome

A reusable visual asset for show-floor attention, sales follow-up, web pages, and stakeholder conversations around the product.

Project notes

FS-Elliott partnered with EMG to finally realize a centerpiece they had nicknamed their "dream animation." After several years in concept limbo, Mayoflux took the outline and turned it into a full production, designing every shot, modeling the centrifugal-compressor lineup, and staging macro cutaways that reveal impeller flow and bearing details in seconds.

The main hurdle was visualizing the air streams without any of the fancy plugins that are available today. this was all done with native thinking particles. The finished film became FS-Elliott's flagship marketing tool, earning over a million views on YouTube. That exposer set a new internal benchmark for engagement.
