Alternators for Bukh Marine Engines

In the early 20th century, Jens Bukh and John Gry had worked in the American auto industry. In 1904, they left to form their own business in Hoerve, Denmark called Bukh & Gry. Together, they had only built one car, aptly named, the Bukh & Gry. The Bukh & Gry featured a water-cooled 2-cylinder engine that produced 12 horsepower and a friction drive transmission. Production of this one car model lasted only one year, but it wasn’t their only product. Bukh & Gry manufactured windmills and internal combustion engines; the latter would prove to be a more profitable venture. In 1910, Bukh & Gry produced the first diesel engine without a compressor. Five years later, they began building marine engines. The factory was moved to Kalundborg and a new name was adopted, Kalundborg Motorfabrik A/S. Bukh started making type A- and B- engines through 1927; these include 2-B320, 2-3B260, B245, 2B245, A130, A155, A175 and A Junior. The B90, B100, B115, B135, B155, B160, B185, B220 and B225 engines become popular sellers and are used all over the world. Bukh produced gas generators for all engine types from 1940 to 1945 but in 1947, the factory burned down. Bukh relocates in 1955 and begins to produce farm tractors such as the 302, 403, 554, and 452 (later, the Juno, Jupiter, and Hercules) and the company starts building their first diesel marine engines. These marine diesels include the G105, 2-3G105, and 4-6K105. Tractor manufacturing ended in 1968, which allowed Bukh to focus on marine diesel engines. Bukh marine diesel engines such as the DV10, DV20, DV36, DV48, and later, more modern products like the Bukh DV 32 become well-received and makes Bukh a leading name in marine engine market.
