Saylor-Beall PL-9000 Bare Reciprocating Air Compressor Pump – Pressure Lubricated (Includes Flywheel)
61.2 CFM @ 175 PSI | 15–30 HP | Industrial Duty | Made in the USA
Maximum Output. Continuous-Duty Strength. Built for Facility-Level Demand.
The Saylor-Beall PL-9000 is a high-capacity, two-stage reciprocating air compressor pump engineered for operations that demand maximum airflow, long run times, and uncompromising reliability. Delivering 61.2 CFM at 175 PSI of real usable air, this pump is designed to anchor large compressed air systems across industrial and production environments.
Equipped with a full pressure lubrication system, the PL-9000 is built to handle continuous-duty operation where standard splash-lubricated pumps simply can’t keep up.
Manufactured in Michigan with massive cast iron components and precision machining, this is a pump built to run hard—shift after shift, day after day.
Why Pressure Lubrication Matters
At this level, lubrication is mission-critical.
The PL-9000 uses a gear-driven oil pump system to deliver continuous, pressurized oil flow to the crankshaft, bearings, and connecting rods—ensuring proper lubrication under heavy loads and extended run times.
What That Means for You:
- Maximum durability in continuous-duty and multi-shift operations
- Superior protection under heat, load, and long run times
- Reduced wear on high-load internal components
- Designed for facilities where downtime is not an option
👉 Bottom line: this pump is built for full-scale production environments.

Head Unloader Option – Simple & Clear
This pump is available with an optional Head Unloader configuration, depending on your system design.
No Head Unloaders (Standard)
- Compressor shuts off at full pressure
- Restarts when air is needed
- Suitable for standard applications
Yes – Head Unloaders (Optional Upgrade)
- Pump continues running at full pressure in an unloaded state
- Motor stays running instead of cycling on/off
- Reduces wear on motors and electrical components
- Ideal for continuous-use and high-demand environments
⚠️ Important
Head unloaders are designed for systems operating in continuous (unloaded) mode.
If your system currently runs start/stop, additional controls or modifications may be required.
Ideal Applications
- Large-scale manufacturing facilities
- Multi-line production environments
- Industrial processing plants
- High-output woodworking and millwork operations
- Any operation requiring maximum CFM and continuous air demand
