The new air station is ideal for garages, repair shops and small industrial units that require a reliable, dependable compressed air supply where available floorspace is at a premium and affordability is a priority.

Conventional compressed air systems require separate downstream equipment that needs to be specified and installed.  In contrast, the Champion ELITE series includes all components in a single, easily integrated unit, requiring up to 30 percent less footprint.

As a complete system, the unit is also fully tested for air leaks.  This means that users do not have to carry out further pipework or filter testing and the compressed air station is ready for use as soon as it is plugged in.

Available with either a 7.5 kW (the ELITE 7) or 11 kW (the ELITE 11) efficient IE3 motor, the 10-bar rotary screw compressor is mounted onto a 270-litre horizontal tank.  It includes a refrigerated dryer, filtration pack, automatic condensate drain, and an oil/water separator.

As a result, installation costs are reduced significantly and all components are assembled into a single, easy-access unit with removable panels, helping to make service and maintenance quick and simple.  The new C-Pro-2 integrated electronic controller helps users manage important compressor parameters easily, including pressure, flow rates and running temperatures to name a few.

The full package

Included in the full plug and play package is the CHR Series refrigerated dryer, with a user-friendly electronic controller and its own separate power supply.  The oil/water separator features multi-stage separation and ensures easy disposal of condensate to comply with waste regulations.

The CHF filter package includes a cyclonic separator for water and liquid oil removal. It is available with either a Grade M filter for particulates to 0.1 microns and oil aerosol to 0.03 mg/m2 or a Grade S filter 0.1 microns and oil aerosol to 0.03 mg/m2.

Finally, the robust condensate drain is designed for long life in harsh applications, featuring stainless steel moving parts for extended life and direct acting valve construction.
