5 HP Rotary Screw Air Compressors

A 5 HP rotary screw compressor typically produces approximately 13 CFM or more, depending on the operating pressure and specific model configuration. Gardner Denver's L Series is engineered for high efficiency, ensuring that the delivered CFM meets the demands of connected tools and equipment while maintaining low energy consumption and superior specific power output.

Rotary screw compressors deliver continuous, pulse-free airflow and operate much quieter than piston (reciprocating) compressors, making them better suited for sustained-duty environments. Piston compressors run in cycles and are better for intermittent use. At 5 HP, a rotary screw unit like the Gardner Denver L Series offers lower maintenance requirements, a longer service life, and a more compact footprint.

The Gardner Denver L Series 5 HP rotary screw compressor is oil-flooded, using AEON lubricants for efficient airend lubrication, cooling, and sealing. Oil-flooded units are highly reliable and cost-effective for general industrial applications. For applications requiring oil-free air - such as pharmaceutical or food-grade environments - Gardner Denver also offers dedicated oil-free compressor series.

The Gardner Denver L Series operates across a pressure range of 75 to 190 PSIG, providing flexibility for a wide variety of industrial applications. Whether you need lower pressures for light pneumatic tools or higher pressures for more demanding processes, the L Series can be configured to meet your operational requirements without compromising energy efficiency.

Gardner Denver's L Series includes a standard 2-year warranty. Customers can also choose the Platinum 10-Year Extended Warranty for long-term coverage or the Platinum+ Full Package Warranty, which includes a 5-year renewable service agreement with factory-trained distributors covering wear items and package components, minimizing unplanned downtime and total cost of ownership.

No. The Gardner Denver L Series features a compact footprint and sound-insulating enclosure panels for whisper-quiet operation, eliminating the need for a dedicated compressor room in most installations. This makes the L Series ideal for facilities with limited space, such as auto shops, medical offices, and small manufacturing areas where noise and space constraints are a concern.

Comp-Air Ohio supplies Gardner Denver and CompAir lubricated rotary screw compressors in the 5 HP class, with Hydrovane rotary vane units where a quieter footprint suits the space. Aftermarket parts, lubricants and filtration supplies are stocked for each.
