Powerex STS Series 5 HP Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor – 60 Gallon

Powerex STS Series 5 HP Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor – 60 Gallon (Simplex)

For facilities that require higher air output with uncompromising air purity, the Powerex STS Series 5 HP Simplex Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor with 60-Gallon Tank delivers clean, quiet, and reliable compressed air for demanding applications. Built around Powerex’s proven scroll compressor technology, this system is engineered for environments where oil contamination, excessive noise, and high maintenance are not acceptable.

The STS Series utilizes 100% oil-less scroll pump technology, eliminating the risk of oil carryover while reducing long-term operating and maintenance costs. With smooth, low-vibration operation and a compact footprint, this system is ideally suited for medical, laboratory, pharmaceutical, food processing, and precision manufacturing environments.

Clean, Quiet, Oil-Free Performance

The 5 HP simplex scroll pump is mounted directly to a 60-gallon corrosion-resistant air receiver, providing increased air storage and reduced cycling compared to smaller tank configurations. This allows for more consistent airflow and improved system efficiency in applications with higher demand.

The system comes standard with an electronic condensate drain, automatically removing moisture from the tank to protect downstream equipment and maintain air quality without manual draining.

Because the compressor is completely oil-free, users benefit from:

• No oil changes

• No oil carryover

• No oil-water separators required

• Reduced downstream filtration requirements

Airflow Performance

The Powerex STS Series 5 HP oil-less scroll compressor provides dependable airflow across both available pressure ranges:

• Approximately 15.2 SCFM at 116 PSI (standard pressure configuration)

• Approximately 12.5 SCFM at 145 PSI (high-pressure configuration)

This makes the system well-suited for applications requiring clean, oil-free air at either standard or elevated operating pressures.

Configurable Dryer Options

The Powerex STS 5 HP system can be configured to match your specific air quality requirements:

• No Dryer – Ideal for facilities with existing air treatment or non-critical applications

• Refrigerated Air Dryer – Removes moisture to protect piping, tools, and equipment

• Desiccant Air Dryer – Provides ultra-dry air for critical applications requiring very low dew points

Dryer options are factory-integrated for a clean, space-saving installation.
