Old Drammens Jern recip

Hi

Here are some pictures of some old Drammens Jern recips. The big one is from the mid 50's and the smaller one from 47. These where in use until 10-12 years ago, but are now trashed.

good post nice sharing

Interesting stuff Coolcmt! What did the compressors run?

Lovely old thumpers, would love to have the smaller unit as a tinker toy!
Thanks for photos

The compressors where in a old fish factory here in Tromsoe, Norway. Big ammonia plant. There was 2 of the big one, and i think 8-10 of the smaller one. In the early 90's they got a Howden WRV to take over some of the job from these recips, but the the technician who had been working there for 30-40 years didn't like it, so they removed it :-)

I like it so far. And I see that you're all shearing
