Additional Information

Additional Information

 N/A Gardner Denver™ is so confident in the way it has engineered and built its products, it offers a 5-year warranty on the compressor pump. 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.

Because compressed air is an essential utility, dependability is an essential compressor quality. If your compressor goes down, it can hurt your reputation-and your bottom line. Gardner Denver™ reciprocating compressors are proven units, known for their reliability over decades of use. In addition to dependability, you want a compressor that is user-friendly. Gardner Denver™ comes through again, with a wide selection of configurations and options designed for trouble-free operation.

Bare Compressor Pumps

 N/A Gardner Denver™ pumps provide dependable service for industrial applications, OEM applications, and pump replacement. The rugged pump design assures reliability and long maintenance intervals.

Receivers

Receivers

 N/A Receivers are ASME approved and include a pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, drain valve and service valve.

Features

Oil Pressure Gauge

 N/A Mounted on the front of the compressor for an excellent view and easy pressure monitoring.

Tapered Roller Bearing

 N/A Insures long operating life of the crankshaft.

Positive Displacement Oil Pump

 N/A Provides lubricant to all critical areas of the compressor pump that require lubrication.

Select the Options That Match Your Needs

Select the Options That Match Your Needs

 N/A Many options are available to help you develop a Gardner Denver™ compressor package that exactly matches your specific operating requirements.
  1. Magnetic Starter
    For thermal overload protection, a starter is required for units 3 horsepower and above. Starters available as mounted or unmounted. (Included as standard on most models.)
  2. Air-Cooled or Water-Cooled Aftercooler
    The factory mounted, heavy-duty, air-cooled aftercooler effectively reduces up to 65% of the moisture from discharged compressed air.
  3. Automatic Tank Drain (Pneumatic)
    Automatically removes water from air receiver upon demand. Eliminates the need for manual purging.
  4. Vibration Isolators
    Isolates the compressor unit from the foundation or floor. Reduces noise and protects the unit from any out-of-level floor situation that could cause vibration and damage.
  5. Low Oil Level Monitor
    Low Oil Level Monitor shuts down the unit when oil levels are below an adequate level. Prevents the unit from restarting if oil levels are not at an adequate level.
  6. Refrigerated Dryer
    Cools compressed air to a 33 ºF - 39 ºF dew point, eliminating additional downstream condensation in the air line. Normally, a dryer should be used in conjunction with an aftercooler.
  7. DPR Control Panel
    The Microprocessed Duplex Relay Panel was created for controlling a duplex air compressor package. The controller includes visual maintenance and shut down alarms.
  8. Gardner Denver™ Compressor Lubricants
    AEON™ lubricants are blended specifically for Gardner Denver™ compressors for use in harsh compressor environments. They are sourced from extremely stable base stocks and enhanced with carefully selected additive packages to provide long life and superior protection. AEON™ lubricants are suitable for a variety of applications and are available as a mineral oil, synthetic or food-grade synthetic. Available in 55-gallon drums, five-gallon pails, one-gallon bottles and one-quart bottles.

Other Options

Other Options

 N/A
