Champion® PL-Series 15 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-40A available as a bare pump; base mounted, simplex or duplex tank mounted units (vertical or horizontal) are driven with one or two 15 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.
