High-Volume Industrial Power with the Champion R-40 Pump

The Champion HR15-12 is a powerhouse 15 HP air compressor designed for continuous-duty performance in demanding industrial environments. Equipped with the Champion R-40 cast-iron two-stage pump, this unit delivers 54.1 CFM @ 175 PSI while operating at a low 776 RPM — providing cooler operation, reduced vibration, and extended service life.

Its 120-gallon ASME-certified horizontal tank provides ample air storage for steady pressure and reduced cycling, making it ideal for production lines, automotive facilities, and heavy-duty manufacturing applications that require reliable, high-volume air power.


R-40 vs. R-30 – The Next Level of Performance

Champion’s R-30 pump, used in standard 15 HP models, is an excellent industrial performer. However, the R-40 pump used on the HR15-12 takes it a step further.
It features larger cylinders and a longer stroke, allowing it to deliver more air (54.1 CFM vs. 48.7 CFM) while running at a slower 776 RPM instead of 1,034 RPM.

This design produces:

  • Lower operating temperatures

  • Reduced wear and noise levels

  • Longer bearing and component life

  • Improved efficiency and uptime

The R-40 is Champion’s premium-grade pump for users who demand superior output, efficiency, and long-term durability.


Key Features

  • R-40 Cast-Iron Two-Stage Pump: Larger displacement, low-RPM design for cooler, quieter operation.

  • 120-Gallon ASME Horizontal Tank: Provides consistent air supply for high-demand applications.

  • Low-Speed Operation (776 RPM): Extends pump life and reduces vibration and wear.

  • Loadless Start Centrifugal Unloader: Protects the motor and ensures smooth startup.

  • Splash Lubrication System: Reliable, low-maintenance design for long-term service.

  • Three-Phase Power Only: Available in 208 V, 230 V, or 460 V for industrial applications.

  • Extended Warranty Option: Add Champion’s Premium Maintenance Kit for 6 years of pump coverage and 2 years on the full compressor package.
