Champion HR15-12

Champion HR15-12 is a 15 HP two-stage splash-lubricated piston compressor with the cast-iron R-40 pump mounted on a 120-gallon horizontal ASME tank and rated 54.1 SCFM at 175 PSI at 776 pump RPM. The R-40 pump steps up from the smaller R-30 with larger cylinder bores, heavier crankshaft, and a larger intercooler, scaling to support the higher CFM and continuous-duty rating. Standard package is 230/460V three-phase with a magnetic starter, automatic tank drain, low oil-level monitor, air-cooled aftercooler, and dual-control panel. Best for production lines, automotive facilities running multiple lifts, tire shops, body shops, weld and fabrication shops, and any 15 HP continuous-air application that needs 175 PSI service. Champion (Gardner Denver) backs the pump with a 5-year extended warranty when registered. Made in the USA.
