In-house Manufacturing & Testing

LMF combines manufacturing, packaging, assembly and project-specific testing within one organization.

Close cooperation between all operational departments and LMF Research & Engineering ensures that the compressor and its auxiliary systems are produced, integrated and tested as one complete solution.

Manufacturing

LMF manufactures core components for its reciprocating high pressure compressors using in-house machining and production capabilities.
Materials, manufacturing processes and quality requirements are defined according to the gas, mechanical loads, operating conditions and applicable project specifications.

Assembly

Bare blocks, auxiliary systems and package components are assembled and aligned by LMF.

Close coordination between manufacturing, packaging and assembly allows technical interfaces to be evaluated directly during production and ensures that the complete system corresponds with the approved engineering documentation.

Compressor Packaging

LMF integrates the compressor with all mechanical, electrical and control equipment required for operation.
Depending on the project scope, packages can include:

  • Electric motor, gas engine or diesel driver
  • Piping and pressure vessels
  • Cooling and lubrication systems
  • Instrumentation and controls
  • Supporting structure and enclosure

Driver power ranges from approximately 10 kW to 6 MW. Packages can be supplied as single-lift units or divided into modules according to transportation and installation requirements.

Project-Specific Testing

LMF operates its own test facilities for compressors and complete packages.

Depending on the agreed project scope, testing can include:

  • Pressure and leakage testing
  • Mechanical and functional testing
  • Control and safety-system verification
  • Performance testing
  • Factory Acceptance Tests

Test procedures and acceptance criteria are defined according to the compressor configuration, applicable standards and customer specifications.

From Engineering to Tested Equipment

Research, engineering, manufacturing, packaging, assembly and testing are directly connected within LMF’s one-stop-shop organization.

This provides clear technical responsibility throughout the production process and allows findings from manufacturing and testing to flow directly back into engineering and product development.

Manufacturing in Austria and China

Design and engineering are based at LMF’s headquarters in Leobersdorf, Austria. Manufacturing takes place either in Austria or at LMF’s facility in Shanghai, depending on the individual project.

Both locations are integrated into LMF’s international project and quality processes.

Lifecycle Support

LMF supports its compressor solutions after delivery through installation, commissioning, maintenance, spare parts, technical support and modernization.
