TP Series Compressors
SPLASH LUBRICATED
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.
PRESSURE LUBRICATED
The Single Throw, pressure lubricated, Knox-Western TP Series frame is designed for vibration free operation through a complete range of running speeds up to 1800 RPM by virtue of a balanced opposed counterweight and forced lubrication of the running gear. This frame can accept cylinder sizes as large as 8 1/2 inch diameter.
Capable of one or two stages of compression.
Two Throw Compressors
The Two Throw version of the Knox-Western TP class frame is another one of our precision balanced machines capable of 1800 RPM with vibration free operation. As with all Knox-Western compressors, the Two Throw frame with its rugged construction was designed to operate in hostile environments with available features such as double compartment distance pieces, special materials of construction, and full flow oil filtration.
Capable of one through four stages of compression.
200, Two Throw Compressors
Using the same field proven design of the Knox Western model TP200 compressor, Knox Western has now developed two units availabe with 3.0" or 4.5" stroke crankshafts, for direct couple or V-belt drive.
400, Two Throw Compressors
Using the same field proven design of the Knox Western two throw compressors, Knox Western has now developed the four throw version, available with 3.5" or 4.5: stroke crankshafts, for direct couple or Vbelt drive.
