Reciprocating gas compressors

TP Series
Pressure lubricated. 200 two throw commpressors
TP200/TP220/TP245

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.
