Blackmer, which is part of the PSG company, has launched its new Hydraulic Adapter Kit.
The kit is used to upgrade Blackmer’s 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.
Blackmer product management director, Ron Crouch, said operators in mobile LPG applications face constant pressure to reduce weight, save space and increase efficiency.
"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,” he said.
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
- Minimise 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," Crouch said.
"It's a straightforward, cost-effective solution for customers who want to enhance their compressors."
