Overview
The Champion VR10-8S is an industrial-grade, two-stage splash lubricated reciprocating air compressor powered by a 10 HP motor and featuring the proven R-30D cast iron pump. Designed for demanding applications, this unit delivers 33.8 CFM @ 175 PSI while operating at a low 718 RPM for cooler, quieter performance and extended service life. The squat-style 80-gallon vertical tank provides a lower center of gravity for enhanced stability in facilities with limited ceiling height or uneven floors, while maintaining full air storage capacity. Equipped with tapered roller bearings, multi-finned aluminum cylinders with cast iron liners, and a 3.8-liter splash lubrication system, the VR10-8S is engineered for continuous-duty operation in automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, woodworking operations, and heavy equipment maintenance environments where reliable high-pressure air is essential.
