$8,000.00
The Champion HPL20-24 is designed for facilities where compressed air is a critical production utility. The large 240-gallon receiver tank helps stabilize system pressure during peak demand periods, while the PL-70A pressure-lubricated pump ensures superior reliability under continuous operation.
Unlike conventional splash-lubricated compressors, the PL-Series lubrication system continuously delivers filtered oil to bearings, connecting rods, and other critical components. This significantly reduces wear, improves cooling, and extends service life in high-duty-cycle environments.
The compressor is capable of supporting:
- Multiple CNC machining centers
- Automated production lines
- Large fabrication shops
- Industrial painting systems
- Multi-user pneumatic tool networks
- Central plant compressed air systems
