Industrial Power Built for Extended Run Time

The Champion HPL7-8 is engineered for operations that require longer run intervals, consistent daily use, and dependable compressed air delivery beyond what splash-lubricated compressors are designed to handle. As part of Champion’s heavy-duty PL-Series, this 7.5 HP, two-stage, pressure-lubricated air compressor is built for extended-duty industrial applications.

Delivering 25.8 CFM @ 175 PSI with pressure capability up to 250 PSI, the HPL7-8 provides strong airflow while operating cooler and more comfortably during sustained run cycles. It’s an ideal step-up for shops that are pushing their compressors harder and longer each day.

Pressure Lubrication That Makes the Difference

At the heart of the HPL7-8 is Champion’s PL-30 pressure-lubricated compressor pump, featuring a positive-displacement oil pump that actively supplies pressurized lubrication to all critical bearings and wear surfaces. This design minimizes heat, reduces internal wear, and supports longer continuous run cycles compared to splash-lubricated designs.

A hydraulic loadless starting system further reduces electrical and mechanical stress at startup, improving reliability and extending component life in frequent-start or extended-run environments.
