Insights
Dover's Blackmer unit launched a hydraulic kit that eliminates flywheels in LPG compressors, offering space and weight savings with minimal implementation complexity.
Blackmer's new Hydraulic Adapter Kit represents a targeted engineering solution addressing specific operational challenges in the mobile LPG market. By eliminating bulky flywheels from their LB080 and LB160 Series compressors, they've created a more compact and efficient alternative for transport applications where every pound and inch matters.
The design innovation here is particularly clever - it transforms existing compressor configurations into hydraulically-driven systems without requiring a complete overhaul. This retrofit capability significantly lowers the barrier to adoption, as operators can upgrade their current equipment rather than replacing entire systems. The dual availability as both a retrofit kit and factory-installed option gives customers flexibility in implementation.
From an operational standpoint, the benefits are multifaceted:
- The elimination of flywheels reduces mechanical complexity and maintenance requirements
- Improved weight-to-performance ratio enhances vehicle fuel economy
- Simplified installation (no shaft alignment needed) reduces technical barriers
- Streamlined integration minimizes downtime during implementation
While this represents an incremental rather than revolutionary advancement, it demonstrates Dover's continued focus on engineering practical solutions for specific industry challenges. The innovation aligns with broader industry trends toward more compact, efficient equipment solutions, particularly in mobile and transportation applications where operational efficiency directly impacts bottom-line performance.
Designed to meet the evolving needs of mobile liquid petroleum gas (LPG) applications, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit (patent pending) seamlessly transforms existing compressor setups into compact, chassis-mounted, hydraulically-driven systems. This easy-to-install package eliminates the need for flywheels, reducing weight and footprint while improving field performance. In addition to being a retrofit solution, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit is also available as a factory-installed option.
"Operators in mobile LPG applications face constant pressure to reduce weight, save space and increase efficiency," said Ron Crouch, Product Management Director of Blackmer. "The Blackmer Hydraulic Adapter Kit directly addresses those issues by making upgrades easier and more effective, without the cost and complexity of a full system overhaul."
The Hydraulic Adapter Kit helps operators of small LPG applications:
- Save space by eliminating bulky flywheels;
- Reduce weight to improve mobility and fuel economy;
- Increase fuel efficiency to help lower operating costs;
- Simplify installation, with no shaft alignment required; and
- Minimize downtime with streamlined integration.
"Whether you're upgrading an older system or building out new applications, the Hydraulic Adapter Kit is important to a successful mobile LPG operation," said Crouch. "It's a straightforward, cost-effective solution for customers who want to enhance their compressors."
