Knox Western - Model BF 50 -Reciprocating Gas Compressors
The BF Series Reciprocating Gas Compressors are designed to accommodate a motor-powered direct-coupled drive up to 60 HP, ideal for multi-stage applications. Featuring a vertical four-throw frame, these compressors are constructed with a space-saving cast iron frame, a counter-balanced ductile iron crankshaft, and a single-piece crosshead along with 'I' section designed connecting rods. Built to withstand rigorous applications, these compressors are compatible with various gases, including those in the CNG market. The design ensures durability and efficiency with components such as double row spherical roller bearings and ductile iron or alloy steel materials for crucial parts. The compressors offer customization options like distance pieces, pocket valves, varied lubrication choices, and multiple configurations for cylinder sizes, crankshaft, and drive motors. Made in the USA, enduring quality is emphasized through continuous improvements targeting both quality and environmental standards.
The BF series is a vertical, four throw frame, suited up to 60 HP motor driven direct-coupled drive range requiring multi-stage applications. The heavy duty cast iron frame is designed with minimal floor space footprint, one piece counter balanced ductile iron crankshaft, single piece crosshead and “I” section designed connecting rods which will give years of service.
