Part of the LB Series line of oil-free reciprocating gas compressors, Blackmer LB361 and LB362 two-cylinder compressors offer flow rates of 36 CFM at 825 rpm. All LB compressors are equipped with a ductile iron head and cylinders, high-efficiency valves, steel pistons, self-adjusting piston rod seals and other robust features designed for quiet efficient handling of propane, butane, and anhydrous ammonia. Even under the most severe service conditions, the LB Series gas compressors offer the best-combined characteristics of sustained high-level performance, energy efficiency, trouble-free operation and low maintenance cost.
