Industrial Power Built for Extended Run Time
The Champion HPL15-12 is engineered for operations that demand high airflow, long run cycles, and true industrial-duty performance without compromise. As part of Champion’s heavy-duty PL-Series, this 15 HP, two-stage, pressure-lubricated air compressor is designed for continuous-use environments where uptime is critical.
Paired with a 120-gallon horizontal ASME air receiver, the HPL15-12 provides strong air reserve while delivering 51.0 CFM @ 175 PSI with pressure capability up to 250 PSI. This makes it an excellent solution for facilities running multiple machines, production equipment, or air tools throughout extended shifts.
Pressure Lubrication That Makes the Difference
At the heart of the HPL15-12 is Champion’s PL-40 pressure-lubricated compressor pump, featuring a positive-displacement oil pump that actively supplies pressurized lubrication to all critical bearings and wear surfaces. This design reduces heat, minimizes internal wear, and supports longer continuous run cycles compared to splash-lubricated compressors.
A hydraulic loadless starting system further reduces electrical and mechanical stress at startup, improving reliability and extending motor and component life in frequent-start or extended-run applications.
