Description
-BelAire 438VL Iron Series 7.5-HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Cast Iron Air Compressor (208-230V 3-Phase)
This powerhouse unit features a robust 7.5 horsepower motor operating on 208–230 volt three‑phase power. It delivers impressive airflow, producing approximately 22 CFM at 100 PSI and sustaining around 19 CFM at 175 PSI—ideal for high-demand shops and continuous heavy-duty use.
The two-stage cast-iron pump is built for longevity, resisting grit and daily wear while maintaining consistent performance. Its vertical 80‑gallon ASME tank saves valuable workshop space without sacrificing air storage, allowing longer tool use before the motor cycles on.
Engineered for seamless operation, the BelAire 438VL includes a magnetic motor starter and a reliable pressure switch, enabling automatic control and reducing wear. Technicians benefit from the durable welded steel tank and a reinforced design that withstands rigorous environments.
