Description
-BelAire 438VL4 Iron Series 7.5-HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Cast Iron Air Compressor (460V 3-Phase)
The BelAire 438VL4 brings heavy-duty capability to a compact vertical design. Its 7.5 horsepower motor running on 460 volt Three Phase power delivers approximately 23 CFM at 100 PSI and around 21 CFM at 175 PSI, making it ideal for commercial garages and industrial environments where high airflow is required without sacrificing floor space.
Built with a solid cast-iron two-stage pump, this compressor is engineered to handle rugged daily use while maintaining stable, consistent pressure. The vertical 80-gallon ASME-certified tank offers ample air reserve, supporting longer tool operation in a footprint-efficient package.
Operation is streamlined with a magnetic motor starter and a pressure-sensing start/stop switch, allowing hands-off functionality and improved energy efficiency. Additional features include a fully enclosed high-flow belt guard, a manual tank drain, and a conveniently located three-quarter-inch tank outlet rated up to 175 PSI.
