Item Overview for Blackmer LB161B
The Blackmer LB161B serves quiet, efficient generating of propane, butane, and anhydrous ammonia as a ductile iron reciprocating gas compressor. The drivetrain pairs an eight-vane rotor turning right-hand with Duravane vanes, keeping volumetric efficiency stable between rebuilds. Mechanical seals work alongside Buna-N elastomers to contain aggressive media and resist chemical attack. Installation stays simple thanks to tapped ports that match common piping practice. An internal relief valve protects the system from damaging pressure spikes. The bare-shaft build lets integrators match an existing drive or specify a new one. As part of the LGL lineup, it shares parts and service procedures with the rest of the range. Rated for flows reaching 16.9 CFM, it holds output steady as line conditions shift. Durable wear surfaces extend the interval between scheduled overhauls.
