BelAire 318HE 5 HP 80G H 2-Stage "Elite" Air Compressor
BelAire 318HE 5 HP 80 Gallon Horizontal Single Phase "Elite" Air Compressor
The BelAire 318HE represents the pinnacle of single-phase air compressor engineering, delivering professional-grade performance with the convenience of 208-230V single-phase power. This 5 HP, 80-gallon horizontal tank compressor is built for demanding shop environments where reliability and air delivery are critical. Featuring a 2-stage cast iron pump that produces 18.50 CFM at 100 PSI and 16.60 CFM at 175 PSI, the 318HE provides the sustained airflow needed for body work, sandblasting, painting, and running multiple air tools simultaneously.
As part of BelAire's prestigious "Elite Series", this compressor comes equipped with premium features that set it apart from standard industrial models. This 5 HP 80-gallon compressor arrives loaded with all the bells and whistles including a magnetic starter, low oil level switch, and automatic tank drain — critical components for safe, efficient operation and extended equipment life. The inclusion of a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler further distinguishes this unit, dramatically reducing moisture in your compressed air lines and protecting your tools and finish quality.
Why Choose the BelAire 318HE Elite Series?
The 318HE delivers the commercial-duty performance your shop demands with features engineered for longevity and ease of maintenance:
- Solid Cast Iron Cylinder Construction — Superior heat dissipation and durability compared to aluminum pumps, ensuring decades of reliable service under heavy use.
- Triple Pass Pump Mounted Aftercooler — Dramatically reduces moisture and heat in compressed air, protecting downstream equipment and improving finish quality.
- Magnetic Starter Included — Provides low-voltage protection and smooth motor starting, protecting your investment from voltage fluctuations and electrical issues.
- Automatic Tank Drain — Eliminates manual draining hassles and ensures condensate is removed consistently, preventing tank corrosion and moisture-related problems.
- Low Oil Level Switch — Automatically shuts down the compressor if oil level drops too low, preventing catastrophic pump damage from running dry.
Built for Professional Duty
The BelAire 318HE is constructed to meet the rigorous demands of professional automotive shops, body shops, and industrial facilities. The 80-gallon horizontal ASME Code tank provides substantial air storage capacity, minimizing pump cycling and ensuring consistent air delivery during peak demand. With a maximum operating pressure of 175 PSI, this compressor handles everything from impact wrenches and die grinders to HVLP spray guns and sandblasters with ease.
Every unit features a fully enclosed high-flow belt guard that protects operators while maintaining optimal cooling airflow to the pump and motor. The oil level sight glass allows for quick visual inspection of lubrication levels without interrupting operation, and the start-stop pressure switch control provides reliable automatic operation. An ASME Code tank with certified safety valves ensures compliance with industry safety standards, and every compressor is 100% factory tested at full pressure before shipment.
