VPL15F-12

Champion VPL15F-12 Air Compressor – 15 HP PL-Series Pressure Lubricated Industrial Compressor (120 Gallon)

The Champion VPL15F-12 Air Compressor is a heavy-duty PL-Series vertical pressure-lubricated reciprocating compressor system engineered for industrial users who need high airflow in a space-saving vertical footprint. Built with 15 HP three-phase motor power, Champion’s advanced PL-Series two-stage cast iron pressure-lubricated pump, and a 120-gallon ASME-certified vertical air receiver tank, this model is designed for continuous-duty operation in demanding manufacturing and service environments.

The “VPL” configuration typically indicates a vertical tank layout, making it ideal for facilities where floor space is limited but high compressed air output is required. The system is designed for reliability, efficiency, and long service life under heavy workloads.

This compressor delivers approximately 53–57 CFM at 175 PSI, depending on exact configuration and pump variant, making it suitable for medium-to-heavy industrial applications.
