The PL-Series compressor has been designed to operate in extreme duty applications and is also an alternative to an R-Series unit. Because the PL-Series can operate up to 250 psi, in remote locations or in off-level operations, it is a true industrial use compressor. Champion is so confident in the way it has engineered and built its products, it offers a 5-year warranty on the compressor pump. 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.

Additional Information

N/A 1 Pressure lubrication
Crankshaft and connecting rod bearings are pressure lubricated for extended life.

2 Oil pressure gauge
Mounted on the front of the compressor for an excellent view and easy pressure monitoring.

3 Babbitt bearings
Replaceable bearing makes repairs easy and inexpensive.

4 Lubricant filtration
An external spin on oil filter and an internal oil inlet screen protect internal components from damaging debris.

5 Positive displacement oil pump
Provides lubricant to all critical areas of the compressor pump that require lubrication.

6 Loadless starting
Hydraulic unloader with-factory set pilot valve provides easy, loadless starts and low oil pressure protection for unattended operation.

Features

N/A Proven Design.
Today’s Champion Reciprocating Compressors are the product of decades of design and development.

Proven Dependability.
You rely on compressed air to perform many tasks efficiently. Champion knows that reliability is one of the main reasons for a purchase. Our slow speed, built-in efficiency through design and the longest compressor warranty in the industry make Champion compressors the proven choice!

High Performance.
R- and PL-Series compressors are loaded with features designed for day-in, day-out performance. For example, Champion’s unique automotive type domed piston design allows the use of large diameter, low lift valves, while minimizing clearance volume for maximum air delivery.

Long Life.
Features such as slow speed operation, rugged cast iron crankcase construction, corrosion resistant steel valves and tapered roller-type main bearings all contribute to long life.

User-friendly Design.
A wide selection of configurations and available options, coupled with serviceability features make it easy to operate and maintain a Champion compressor. Compare all the features on the pages that follow. You’ll discover why Champion is the value leader in reciprocating compressors for a broad range of automotive and industrial applications.

Applications

N/A

  • Automotive
  • Dry Cleaning
  • Service Fleets
  • Industrial
  • Refineries
Select the configuration that matches your application
With many models from which to choose in both single-stage and two-stage, we can match your needs exactly. These configurations, combined with a wide choice of options, provide all the components for a customized installation. They are available in both R-Series splash-lubricated and PL-Series pressure-lubricated models.

Tank-mounted Air Compressors
Available with horizontal or space-saving vertical tanks, two-stage air compressors compress air to a higher pressure than single stage compressors.

Base-mounted Air Compressors
Designed for installations where air tanks are remotely located.

Duplex Air Compressors
For extra air delivery when you need it without wasted space. Plus the flexibility of single operation, alternating between compressors, or duplex operation to meet high air demand.

Gasoline or Diesel Engine Powered Air Compressors
Truck and utility bed mounting design makes these compressors ideal for fleet and field service. Ideal for applications where electricity is not available.

Bare Compressor Pumps
Provide dependable service for industrial applications, pump replacement or OEM applications. The rugged pump design assures reliability and long maintenance intervals.

Receivers
Receivers are ASME approved and include a pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, drain valve and service valve.

General Description

N/A At Champion, air compressor systems are our only products. We know and understand the application of our products in many different operating environments. Our goal is to provide you with the compressors that fulfill - and exceed - your expectations and requirements.

Because compressed air is an essential utility, dependability is an essential compressor quality. If your compressor goes down, it can hurt your reputation - and your bottom line. Champion reciprocating compressors are proven units, known for their reliability over decades of use. In addition to dependability, you want a compressor that is user-friendly. Champion comes through again, with a wide selection of configurations and options designed for trouble-free operation. You can’t beat a Champion!

Quality Accessories

N/A Many options are available to help you develop a Champion compressor package that exactly matches your specific operating requirements.

  1. Magnetic starter (included as standard on most models)
    For thermal overload protection, a starter is required for units 3 HP and up. May be mounted or unmounted.

  2. Air-cooled or water-cooled aftercooler
    The factory mounted, heavy duty, air-cooled aftercooler effectively reduces up to 65% of the moisture from discharged compressed air.

  3. Automatic tank drain
    Pneumatic drain operates from a centrifugal unloader.

  4. Vibration isolators
    Isolates the compressor unit from the foundation or floor. Reduces noise and protects the unit from any out-of-level floor situation that could cause vibration and damage.

  5. Low oil level monitor
    Low Oil Level Monitor shuts down the unit when oil levels are below an adequate level. Prevents the unit from restarting if oil levels are not at an adequate level.

  6. Refrigerated air dryer
    Cools compressed air to a 33 º – 39 º dew point, eliminating additional downstream condensation in the air line. Normally, a dryer should be used in conjunction with an aftercooler. Refrigerated and desiccant dryer types are available.

  7. DPR Control Panel
    The Microprocessed Duplex Relay Panel was created for controlling a duplex air compressor package. The controller includes visual maintenance and shut down alarms.

  8. Champion Compressor Lubricants
    ChampLub lubricants are blended specifically for Champion compressors for use in harsh compressor environments. They are sourced from extremely stable base stocks and enhanced with carefully selected additive packages to provide long life and superior protection. ChampLub lubricants are suitable for a variety of applications and are available as a mineral oil, synthetic or food-grade synthetic.
Available in 55-gallon drums, five-gallon pails, one-gallon bottles and one-quart bottles.

Other Options
