BLACKMER compressors for LPG

BLACKMER LB-Serie – Kolben-Gaskompressoren

The Blackmer LB Series piston gas compressors offer high efficiency for the handling of propane, butane, and anhydrous ammonia. They are ideal for unloading rail tank cars and storage tanks, as well as for associated vapor recovery applications.

The single-stage piston gas compressors are designed for maximum performance and reliability, even under extremely demanding operating conditions. All pressure-bearing components are made of ductile iron, providing increased resistance to thermal and mechanical stresses.

The design emphasizes maintenance-friendly operation – all critical components are easily accessible, greatly simplifying servicing and upkeep.

LB Series propane compressors are available with:

• Liquid delivery rates up to 2,575 L/min
• Piston displacement volumes up to 212 m³/h
• Operating pressures up to 24.13 bar
