Stuwkracht in Staal - Motorenfabriek Bolnes Krimpen aan de Lek en / Motorenfabriek Smit & Bolnes Kinderdijk - Zierikzee
Johann Hendrik van Cappellen was the one who was granted a permit in 1885 to establish a Factory for Steam and other Machines in Bolnes. Van Cappellen started his own foundry where, among other things, winches, shears, bending machines and punching machines were manufactured.
In 1909, the first two-stroke hot bulb engine with crankcase flushing came onto the scene. In 1910, due to cramped housing, they moved from Bolnes to the river island "De Zaag" in Krimpen aan de Lek, located opposite the town of Bolnes. Until 1935, hot bulb engines were supplied with the oh so well-known crossheads and guideways, just like the many steam engines that were also produced in the meantime. In the meantime, through their own developments, they had switched to the production of real diesel engines, from 1928 onwards the Bolnes diesel engines were produced with an open or closed engine base as desired.
In 1949, the first fully welded Bolnes engine was completed. In addition to being a land and ship engine, this engine also proved to be extremely suitable for applications in the many types of dredging vessels.
Because the engine produced "only" 50 hp per cylinder and the demand for more power was high, especially in the dredging world, Mr. Dick Leonardus Hendrik Smit, deputy director of the family business L. Smit & Zoon N.V. in Kinderdijk, came up with the plan to build the Bolnes engine in an enlarged version at the Machinefabriek in Kinderdijk in consultation with the Van Cappellen family.
The enlarged Bolnes engine was marketed as the "Smit-Bolnes" engine.
The Smit-Bolnes engines were produced in Kinderdijk from 1954 to 1960, after which production was moved to a new Smit & Bolnes engine factory in Zierikzee.
This book tells the history of both manufacturers. All engine types produced are also discussed.
