The EMAX Silent Air™ 5HP 60-Gallon Industrial Air Compressor (ESS05V060V1) is built for professional shops that demand reliable compressed air performance without the excessive noise of a traditional industrial compressor. Combining a rugged 5 HP motor, 60-gallon ASME-certified air tank, and 19 CFM at 100 PSI, this compressor delivers the airflow needed for demanding automotive, fabrication, maintenance, and industrial applications.
At the heart of the EMAX Silent Air compressor is a heavy-duty 2-cylinder, single-stage, all-cast-iron, splash-lubricated pump engineered for dependable long-term operation. With a service life of up to 50,000 hours based on B-10 bearing life with proper maintenance, the compressor is designed for professional environments where durability and consistent air delivery are essential.
Using the correct compressor oil and viscosity is especially important with a splash-lubricated pump. The oil must properly adhere to the internal components and dippers so it can be distributed throughout the pump during operation. Following the manufacturer’s recommended oil type, level, and maintenance intervals helps promote proper lubrication, reduce premature component wear, and maximize compressor service life.
Splash lubrication has been used in reciprocating air compressors for generations and remains a widely used solution for dependable pump lubrication. When maintained correctly, this straightforward design provides effective lubrication while helping support reliable performance in demanding automotive, commercial, and industrial applications.
EMAX’s patented Silent Air™ Technology significantly reduces compressor intake noise by channeling incoming air through a series of specially engineered baffle plates. This design helps reduce operating noise levels by more than 35% while incorporating four stages of air filtration to help protect the compressor and improve incoming air quality.
The ESS05V060V1 is powered by a heavy-duty 5 HP, 1740 RPM industrial electric motor with a 1.1 Service Factor for dependable performance in demanding shop environments. Premium components include a reliable Condor pressure switch, manual tank drain, and an OSHA-approved 18-gauge steel belt guard for added durability and protection.
A rugged 60-gallon ASME-certified powder-coated air receiver provides substantial compressed air storage, while reinforced mounting pads and included isolator pads help provide a stable installation. A large 3/4-inch air outlet supports high airflow to compatible shop equipment and pneumatic tools.
With its combination of 19 CFM at 100 PSI, industrial-grade construction, quieter operation, and a durable 60-gallon tank, the EMAX Silent Air™ 5HP compressor is an excellent choice for automotive repair shops, service garages, fabrication facilities, maintenance departments, and professional workshops requiring dependable compressed air throughout the workday.
Built and performance-tested in Ohio, EMAX air compressors are engineered for long-term reliability and backed by a strong manufacturer warranty, making the ESS05V060V1 a professional-grade compressed air solution designed for years of demanding service.
The EMAX heavy-duty V-belt drive system is engineered for reliable power transfer, reduced vibration, and long-lasting performance in demanding commercial and industrial applications. Unlike compressors that rely on narrow, single A-width belts, EMAX compressors utilize a multi-belt drive system with wider B- and C-width belts for increased belt contact and improved grip.
The increased belt surface area allows power to transfer more efficiently while requiring less belt tension. Reduced tension helps minimize unnecessary stress on the motor and compressor pump bearings, supporting longer component life and dependable operation.
The multi-belt V-belt design also helps reduce operating noise and vibration while promoting more even load distribution across the drive system. This can help extend belt life, reduce maintenance requirements, and provide smoother performance throughout demanding compressor duty cycles.
The result is a durable, efficient, and low-maintenance air compressor belt drive system engineered to provide dependable power transfer and thousands of hours of professional service.
