Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor – 60 Gallon Tank

Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor – 60 Gallon Tank Quiet, Clean Oil-Less Air in a Compact Tank-Mounted Package Short Product Description The Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Air Compressor delivers 15.2 SCFM at 100 PSIG with exceptionally quiet 51 dBA operation. This compact system combines a Powerex oil-less scroll compressor, sound-reducing enclosure, controls, and 60-gallon ASME receiver, with optional refrigerated or desiccant air dryer configurations. Product Description The Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Scroll Tankmount Compressor System is designed for industrial and critical-process applications where clean compressed air, low noise, reliability, and a compact footprint are important. At the heart of the system is Powerex's proven oil-less scroll compressor technology. Unlike lubricated compressors, the scroll compression chamber requires no oil for operation, helping eliminate the risk of lubricant contamination in the compressed air stream. The compressor is designed for 100% continuous-duty operation and uses serviceable bearings and composite PTFE tip seals for long-term reliability. Producing 15.2 SCFM at 100 PSIG, the 5 HP system operates at only 51 dBA, making it an excellent choice for installations where traditional industrial compressor noise would be undesirable. The entire package is mounted on a 60-gallon ASME air receiver and enclosed inside a sound-reducing cabinet. For applications requiring moisture removal, the system is available with either a refrigerated air dryer or desiccant air dryer. This allows the compressor, receiver, controls, and air treatment equipment to be packaged together into a compact compressed air system.

Exceptionally Quiet Operation At only 51 dBA, the enclosed Powerex scroll system can be installed much closer to the point of use than many traditional industrial air compressors. Continuous-Duty Performance The oil-less scroll pump is designed for 100% continuous-duty operation, allowing it to meet demanding compressed-air requirements without the operating limitations associated with many light-duty compressor designs. Compact Turnkey Design The compressor, controls, aftercooler, enclosure, and 60-gallon receiver are packaged together to minimize floor-space requirements and simplify installation. Optional Integrated Air Treatment Choose a refrigerated or desiccant dryer configuration based on the required compressed-air quality for your application. Dryer Options Refrigerated Air Dryer The optional Powerex refrigerated air dryer provides approximately a 35°F to 38°F pressure dew point for general industrial applications. The refrigerated dryer package includes: Non-cycling refrigerated dryer 3-micron filter/separator Automatic condensate drain 0.01-micron afterfilter Pressure regulator Automatic solenoid timer drain Powerex specifies that the refrigerated dryer is mounted with the compressor on simplex systems. Desiccant Air Dryer For applications requiring significantly drier compressed air, the Powerex system is available with an optional twin-tower desiccant dryer designed to provide a 0°F pressure dew point. The desiccant dryer package includes: Twin-tower desiccant dryer Purge-saving controls Repressurization cycle Prefilter for particulate and liquid removal Automatic condensate drain 0.5-micron afterfilter Filter element change indicators Best For The Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Oil-Less Scroll Compressor is an excellent choice for: Laboratories Food & Beverage Processing Food Packaging Instrument Air Gas Generation Environmental Applications Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Electronics Manufacturing Research Facilities Clean Manufacturing Processes Industrial Applications Requiring Oil-Less Air Noise-Sensitive Compressor Installations Powerex specifically identifies laboratory, food/beverage processing and packaging, sterilizer, gas-generation, and environmental applications for its enclosed scroll systems.

Why Choose the Powerex 5 HP Enclosed Scroll Compressor? The Powerex enclosed scroll system combines the advantages of oil-less compressed air, extremely low operating noise, continuous-duty capability, integrated controls, and a compact tank-mounted footprint. Rather than assembling a compressor, receiver, controls, filtration, and dryer from several unrelated components, Powerex offers a professionally engineered package designed to work together. For facilities where air quality and reliability matter, the Powerex scroll system provides a premium alternative to conventional lubricated piston and rotary screw compressors. Why Buy from Compressed Air Advisors Online? Compressed Air Advisors Online specializes in compressed air systems and equipment for industrial and commercial applications. We can help you properly configure your Powerex system based on: Required CFM Operating pressure Available voltage and phase Required compressed-air quality Refrigerated vs. desiccant drying requirements Installation and application requirements Our goal is to make sure you purchase the right compressor and air treatment system for the application, not simply the compressor that happens to fit a horsepower rating. Frequently Asked Questions Is the Powerex 5 HP scroll compressor oil-free? The Powerex scroll compressor is an oil-less design, meaning no oil is required within the compression chamber. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where lubricant contamination in the compressed-air stream is unacceptable. How much air does the Powerex 5 HP compressor produce? The 5 HP Powerex enclosed scroll compressor produces 15.2 SCFM at 100 PSIG. How loud is the Powerex 5 HP scroll compressor? The enclosed 5 HP system is rated at only 51 dBA, making it significantly quieter than many traditional industrial air compressors. What size tank is included? The compressor is mounted on a 60-gallon ASME-rated horizontal air receiver. Can this compressor run continuously? Yes. Powerex specifies the oil-less scroll compressor for 100% continuous-duty operation. Can I order this compressor with an air dryer? Yes. The system can be configured with either an integrated refrigerated air dryer or desiccant air dryer. What is the difference between the refrigerated and desiccant dryer? The refrigerated dryer provides approximately a 35°F to 38°F pressure dew point and is appropriate for most general industrial applications. The desiccant dryer provides a 0°F pressure dew point for applications requiring significantly drier compressed air. Is this compressor available in single-phase power? Yes. A 230V single-phase 5 HP configuration is available in addition to 208V, 230V, and 460V three-phase configurations. What applications are best suited for an oil-less scroll compressor?
