Champion® PL-Series 20–30 hp Reciprocating Compressors
The Champion® PL-Series pressure lubricated compressors offer rugged standard features, a wide selection of configurations, quality available options, and a time-tested design. High performance, long life and tremendous value make Champion compressors the proven solution to your application. Pump model PL-70A available as a bare pump; base mounted, simplex or duplex tank mounted units (vertical or horizontal) are driven with one or two 20–30 hp motors.
The PL-Series compressor has been designed to operate in extreme duty applications. Because the PL-Series can operate up to 250 psi, and run in off-level operations, it is a true industrial use compressor. The PL-Series features domed pistons, integral cylinder head, disc valves, and an oil pump that provides lubricant to all crucial parts of the compressor. From its extra heavy duty design to its ease of maintenance, the Champion PL-Series exemplifies reliability, durability, and quality.
