Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor – 60 Gallon Tank
Quiet, Clean Oil-Less Air in a Compact Tank-Mounted Package
Short Product Description
The Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor delivers 15.2 SCFM at 100 PSIG with exceptionally quiet 51 dBA operation. This compact system combines a Powerex oil-less scroll compressor, sound-reducing enclosure, controls, and 60-gallon ASME receiver, with optional refrigerated or desiccant air dryer configurations.
Product Description
The Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Scroll Tankmount Compressor System is designed for industrial and critical-process applications where clean compressed air, low noise, reliability, and a compact footprint are important.
At the heart of the system is Powerex's proven oil-less scroll compressor technology. Unlike lubricated compressors, the scroll compression chamber requires no oil for operation, helping eliminate the risk of lubricant contamination in the compressed air stream. The compressor is designed for 100% continuous-duty operation and uses serviceable bearings and composite PTFE tip seals for long-term reliability.
Producing 15.2 SCFM at 100 PSIG, the 5 HP system operates at only 51 dBA, making it an excellent choice for installations where traditional industrial compressor noise would be undesirable. The entire package is mounted on a 60-gallon ASME air receiver and enclosed inside a sound-reducing cabinet.
For applications requiring moisture removal, the system is available with either a refrigerated air dryer or desiccant air dryer. This allows the compressor, receiver, controls, and air treatment equipment to be packaged together into a compact compressed air system.

Benefits
Clean Oil-Less Compressed Air
The scroll compression chamber operates without oil, making the system ideal for applications where compressed-air cleanliness is critical.
Exceptionally Quiet Operation
At only 51 dBA, the enclosed Powerex scroll system can be installed much closer to the point of use than many traditional industrial air compressors.
Continuous-Duty Performance
The oil-less scroll pump is designed for 100% continuous-duty operation, allowing it to meet demanding compressed-air requirements without the operating limitations associated with many light-duty compressor designs.
Compact Turnkey Design
The compressor, controls, aftercooler, enclosure, and 60-gallon receiver are packaged together to minimize floor-space requirements and simplify installation.
Optional Integrated Air Treatment
Choose a refrigerated or desiccant dryer configuration based on the required compressed-air quality for your application.
Dryer Options
Refrigerated Air Dryer
The optional Powerex refrigerated air dryer provides approximately a 35°F to 38°F pressure dew point for general industrial applications.
The refrigerated dryer package includes:
- Non-cycling refrigerated dryer
- 3-micron filter/separator
- Automatic condensate drain
- 0.01-micron afterfilter
- Pressure regulator
- Automatic solenoid timer drain
Powerex specifies that the refrigerated dryer is mounted with the compressor on simplex systems.
Desiccant Air Dryer
For applications requiring significantly drier compressed air, the Powerex system is available with an optional twin-tower desiccant dryer designed to provide a 0°F pressure dew point.
The desiccant dryer package includes:
- Twin-tower desiccant dryer
- Purge-saving controls
- Repressurization cycle
- Prefilter for particulate and liquid removal
- Automatic condensate drain
- 0.5-micron afterfilter
- Filter element change indicators

Why Choose the Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Scroll Compressor?
The Powerex enclosed scroll system combines the advantages of oil-less compressed air, extremely low operating noise, continuous-duty capability, integrated controls, and a compact tank-mounted footprint.
Rather than assembling a compressor, receiver, controls, filtration, and dryer from several unrelated components, Powerex offers a professionally engineered package designed to work together.
For facilities where air quality and reliability matter, the Powerex scroll system provides a premium alternative to conventional lubricated piston and rotary screw compressors.
