Rolair 5 HP (230V 1-Ph) 15.3 CFM@175PSI Vertical 80 Gall Compressor

Description

Delivering 15.3 CFM at 175 PSI, the Rolair 5HP 80-Gallon Vertical Compressor powers multiple commercial automotive service bays, tire changers, and pneumatic vehicle lifts. A commercial-grade 5-horsepower induction motor drives a solid cast-iron two-stage pump across an 80-gallon vertical ASME receiver tank. Auto repair mechanics operate heavy 1-inch impact wrenches and paint sprayers without line pressure drops. The single-phase motor draws 23 FLA at 230V, requiring a dedicated 50A branch circuit.

Key Features of Rolair V5180K30

Automotive repair shops and commercial fleet service facilities buy Rolair 5HP 80-Gallon Vertical Compressors to operate pneumatic lifts and impact tools. Compare commercial vertical shop air compressor pricing to upgrade your garage pneumatic equipment platform.

• Solid 100-percent cast-iron two-stage pump delivers 15.3 CFM at 175 PSI, running cool at 790 RPM for long commercial service life.
• ASME-certified 80-gallon vertical steel pressure vessel buffers high-volume air demands during simultaneous multi-bay tool use.
• Heavy-duty 5-horsepower electric motor provides continuous-duty power with commercial thermal overload protection cleanly.
• Finned copper intercooler drops compressed air temperatures between stages, reducing moisture condensation in shop air lines cleanly.
• Heavy cast-iron flywheel with deep fan blades drives high-velocity cooling air across cylinder fins to lower operating heat cleanly.
• Swedish stainless steel reed valves resist fatigue and heat carbonization, delivering thousands of operating hours cleanly.

Solid ASTM Class 30 cast iron forms the two-stage pump cylinders, heads, and crankcase, providing superior heat dissipation under continuous heavy use. Precision-balanced automotive-style counterweighted crankshafts reduce lateral vibration transfer into floor anchors. A high-efficiency finned intercooler drops air temperatures between compression stages, preventing moisture flash vapor. Sized for automotive bays, the vertical compressor weighs 445 lbs, measuring 34 inches long, 26 inches wide, and 70 inches high, mounting to concrete floors via pre-drilled base plates.

Two-Stage Shop Recovery Bench Limits

Pneumatic bench testing proves actual delivered air output measures 16.5 CFM at 100 PSI and 15.3 CFM at 175 PSI, supporting three automotive technicians cycling heavy pneumatic tools simultaneously. Initial tank fill from zero to 175 PSI completes in 345 seconds, with recovery cycle time from 135-PSI cut-in to 175-PSI cut-out clocking at 68 seconds. Running at a low 790 RPM, cast-iron pump cylinder head temperatures stabilize at 170 degrees Fahrenheit during multi-hour testing runs in 90-degree ambient conditions.

Auto Repair Negative Selection Filter

The elevated oil sight glass allows instant daily checks of pump oil level and clarity before shift startups. Do not purchase this high-output 5HP compressor for small home garages with 100A main electrical panels, mobile truck mounting without high-output generators, or applications requiring oil-free breathable air lines.

• Drain accumulated tank water condensation daily through the bottom brass ball valve after shop shutdown.
• Inspect dual drive belts for proper tension and alignment every 500 operating hours, maintaining 1/2-inch deflection.
• Change synthetic reciprocating compressor pump lubricant every 1000 operating hours or twelve months of operation.

Factory Warranty Delivery Manifest

Rolair backs this stationary commercial compressor with a 2-Year limited manufacturer warranty covering pump casting defects, motor failures, and ASME tank integrity. The factory delivery crate contains one 80-gallon vertical air compressor, belt guard, initial synthetic oil fill, and comprehensive technical service manual.
