Industrial engineering heritage and manufacturing profile of Leobersdorfer Maschinenfabrik

Leobersdorfer Maschinenfabrik GmbH represents Austria’s premier engineering enterprise located in Leobersdorf south of Vienna. The factory maintains an unbroken historical lineage dating back to 1850 when Josef Berger established an iron foundry.

In 1896, renowned inventor Rudolf Diesel introduced Austria’s first diesel engines at Leobersdorf, followed by engineer Viktor Kaplan who designed water turbines from 1901. Compressor manufacturing commenced in 1946, establishing international technological leadership.

In 2016, LMF joined the global Kaishan Group, expanding worldwide engineering outreach. Today LMF exports over 95% of its output globally, delivering high-pressure compressor packages engineered for reliability.

LMF V-Series and VC-Series high-pressure industrial reciprocating piston compressors

Modular reciprocating compressors of the LMF V15, V16, V17, V19, and VC series are engineered for compression of air and technical gases under discharge pressures from 30 to 450 bar. Motor ratings range from 5 to 125 kW, delivering volume flows up to 1000 cubic meters per hour.

The units are available in trunk-piston and crosshead arrangements with two to six cylinders across multiple compression stages.

Closed-loop water or forced air cooling allows integration into high-voltage electrical substations for circuit breaker charging, hydraulic testing benches, hydroelectric generation facilities, and specialized breathing air cylinder replenishment depots.

Heavy-duty LMF process gas compressors built to API 618 and ISO 13631 standards

Heavy-duty process compressors of the LMF B-Series and BS-Series conform to international API 618 and ISO 13631 standards for continuous compression of hydrogen, biomethane, associated petroleum gas, and natural gas. Drive power reaches 6000 kW with discharge pressures up to 1000 bar.

The balanced-opposed cylinder layout with horizontal piston movement neutralizes reciprocating inertia forces, mitigating structural vibration transmitted into plant floors.

The pressure-tight crank housing withstands internal pressures up to 20 bar, preventing fugitive hydrocarbon emissions into factory environments.

Marine seismic research compressor packages LMF Compound systems for air guns

Marine seismic research packages of the LMF Compound series generate high-pressure air for seismic air gun arrays on geophysical survey vessels. The patented layout combines a rotary screw primary stage with a multi-stage high-pressure reciprocating piston booster in a single compact package.

The equipment achieves discharge pressures up to 207 bar at delivery rates from 8 to 78 cubic meters per minute. The packages comply with DNV marine classification rules and stringent DNV SILENT R&S underwater radiated noise thresholds.

Turnkey containerized construction allows rapid deck or hold installation on maritime vessels.

LMF VC-B and VCL-B oil-free reciprocating compressors for PET bottle blowing

Oil-free reciprocating compressors of the LMF VC-B and VCL-B series spanning 55 to 400 kW drive ratings are optimized for high-speed bottle blowing machinery producing PET plastic containers. Working pressures span 25 to 41 bar with throughput ratings from 300 to 2400 cubic meters per hour.

Employing self-lubricating polymer piston and guide rings, the delivered compressed air satisfies ISO 8573-1 Class 1 purity, preventing mineral oil contamination in food packaging.

Integrated heat recovery modules capture water heating energy up to 90 degrees Celsius, while variable speed drives optimize operational energy consumption.

Mobile pipeline evacuation packages LMF P-Pack and precision compressor replacement parts

Mobile compressor packages of the LMF P-Pack series operate on semi-trailers to execute evacuation of natural gas from pipeline sections during repair and inspection operations.

Powered by natural gas or diesel drivers from 40 to 750 kW, the mobile equipment reduces residual pipeline pressure below 1 bar without venting gas into the atmosphere.

To sustain continuous operational readiness of LMF compressors, specialized workshops produce concentric ring valves, PEEK and PTFE piston rings, rod packings, and journal bearings. Routine servicing with precision components ensures decades of trouble-free industrial plant duty.
