3 HP Reciprocating Presure Lubricateed Piston Type Air Compressor

Pressure-Lubricated
PL-Series

The PL-Series compressor has been
designed to operate in extreme
duty applications. Because the
PL-Series can operate up to 250 psi,
and run in off-level operations, it
is a true industrial use compressor.
The PL-Series features domed
pistons, integral cylinder head,
disc valves, and an oil pump that
provides lubricant to all crucial
parts of the compressor. From its
extra heavy duty design to its ease
of maintenance, the Gardner Denver
PL-Series exemplifies reliability,
durability, and quality.

Pressure Lubrication
Crankshaft and connecting rod
bearings are pressure lubricated
for extended life.
Oil Pressure Gauge
Mounted on the front of the
compressor for an excellent view
and easy pressure monitoring.
Loadless Starting
Hydraulic unloader with factory
set pilot valve provides easy,
loadless starts and low oil pressure
protection for unattended
operation.
Lubricant Filtration
An external spin-on oil filter
and an internal oil inlet screen
protect internal components
from damaging debris.
Babbitt Bearings
Replaceable bearing makes
repairs easy and inexpensive.
Positive Displacement
Oil Pump
Provides lubricant to all critical
areas of the compressor pump
that require lubrication.
