Blackmer Launches New Hydraulic Adapter Kit for LB080 & LB160 Series Reciprocating Gas Compressors

Blackmer, part of PSG, a Dover company, and a global leader in rotating pumps and reciprocating compressor technologies, announced the launch of its new Hydraulic Adapter Kit for the upgrade of Blackmer® LB080 and LB160 Series Reciprocating Gas Compressors.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of mobile liquid petroleum gas (LPG) applications, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit (patent pending) seamlessly transforms existing compressor setups into compact, chassis-mounted, hydraulically-driven systems. This easy-to-install package eliminates the need for flywheels, reducing weight and footprint while improving field performance. In addition to being a retrofit solution, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit is also available as a factory-installed option.
"Operators in mobile LPG applications face constant pressure to reduce weight, save space and increase efficiency," said Ron Crouch, Product Management Director of Blackmer. "The Blackmer Hydraulic Adapter Kit directly addresses those issues by making upgrades easier and more effective, without the cost and complexity of a full system overhaul."
The Hydraulic Adapter Kit helps operators of small LPG applications:
Save space by eliminating bulky flywheels;
Reduce weight to improve mobility and fuel economy;
Increase fuel efficiency to help lower operating costs;
Simplify installation, with no shaft alignment required; and
Minimize downtime with streamlined integration.
"Whether you're upgrading an older system or building out new applications, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit is important to a successful mobile LPG operation," said Crouch. "It's a straightforward, cost-effective solution for customers who want to enhance their compressors."
