Reciprocating Gas Compressors
Both the TP and Eagle Series Compressors are available either as completely packaged units by Knox Western or as individual compressors.
TP Series

The Single Throw, splash lubricated, Knox-Western TP Series frame is especially designed for low horsepower, heavy duty, single or multi-stage compression. The frame includes a heavy duty, cast iron crankcase, a one piece counterweighted, cast ductile iron crankshaft, single piece ductile iron, box type crosshead shoes, and an integral single compartment distance piece.

Capable of one or two stages of compression

Eagle Series

Available in four different frame series as two throw and four throw configurations. With maximum frame ratings of 1600 horsepower and cylinder maximum allowable working pressures as high as 7000 PSIG, greater compressor flexibility than ever before is now available from Knox Western.

Compressor Features

Vibration free operation is achieved through the horizontally opposed, balanced design.

Proven simple design for reliable operation and easy service.

Oil free cylinders are available where purity of the gas must be maintained. These may offer savings compared to lubricators, discharge gas filters, and purchasing and disposing of lubricants.

Standard components throughout the range of models, means that smaller parts inventories are required to service the many different models.

Efficient and economical because each compressor is sized and designed to suit each application, without compromise.

Lower maintenance costs because of the simple design of the compressor and compressor packages. Many applications do not require water or cylinder lubrication systems.
