Description
-BelAire 438V4 Iron Series 5-HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Cast Iron Air Compressor (460V 3-Phase)
The BelAire 438V4 Iron Series air compressor packs heavy-duty performance into a vertical footprint. Powered by a 5‑horsepower motor running on 460 volt three‑phase electricity, this unit delivers 18 CFM at 100 PSI and 16 CFM at 175 PSI, making it ideal for medium-to-large workshops and industrial environments where consistent air flow is essential.
Its two‑stage cast‑iron pump is engineered for durability, resisting daily wear and tear while maintaining reliable air delivery over time. The substantial 80‑gallon ASME‑rated vertical tank stores more air without demanding extra floor space, giving you extended runtime on air tools before the motor fires up.
Automatic operation comes courtesy of a magnetic motor starter and intuitive pressure switch, giving you hands-off control while avoiding unnecessary wear. Technicians will appreciate the confidence that comes from its rugged construction, reinforced by BelAire’s two‑year bumper‑to‑bumper warranty for added peace of mind.
Whether for auto body work, commercial garages, or industrial applications, the BelAire 438V4 strikes a solid balance of power, efficiency, and upkeep simplicity—all in a vertical design that fits well in tight shop layouts.
