RECIPROCATING GAS COMPRESSORS

TWO THROWS UNIT

TP 200 / 220 / 245

Using the same field proven design of the Knox Western model TP200 compressor, Knox Western has now developed two units available with 3.0" or 4.5" stroke crankshafts, for direct couple or V-belt drive.

Note specific TFE blend to be determined per application. Our management system of standards is designed and reinforced to assure the quality of all operations and processes. Our continuous improvements apply to both quality and environmental requirements.

The TP is a low horsepower line of compressors and was designed to meet a wide range of compression requirements. This compressor offers single and multistage applications to 6500 PSIG.

TP Series can be configured with distance pieces and special materials. It comes with a single, 2 and 4 throw configuration frame. The TP model can be splash lubricated or force feed lubricated.
