BelAire 338HE 5 HP 80G V 2-Stage "Elite" Air Compressor
BelAire 338HE 5 HP 80 Gallon Vertical Three Phase 2-Stage "Elite" Air Compressor
⚠ IMPORTANT: Three-Phase Power Required
This compressor MUST have three-phase electric power (208-230V / 3-Phase) to operate. Verify your facility has the correct electrical supply before ordering.
The BelAire 338HE represents the pinnacle of the Elite Series line, delivering 5 HP of reliable power in a robust 80-gallon horizontal tank configuration. Engineered for professional shops and industrial facilities that demand consistent, high-volume compressed air, this 2-stage compressor delivers impressive performance with 18.50 CFM at 100 PSI and 16.60 CFM at 175 PSI. Built with premium components and backed by a 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, the 338HE is designed to provide years of dependable service in the most demanding environments.
What sets the Elite Series apart is the comprehensive package of professional-grade features included as standard equipment. This compressor comes fully equipped with a magnetic starter for smooth, reliable motor control, a low oil level switch that protects the pump from damage, an automatic tank drain that eliminates moisture buildup without manual intervention, and a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler that significantly reduces moisture in your compressed air lines. These aren't optional upgrades—they're all included to give you a turnkey, professional-grade air compression solution right out of the box.
Elite Series Engineering Excellence
The BelAire 338HE is built on a foundation of industrial-grade construction and precision engineering. At its heart is a solid cast iron cylinder pump design that delivers superior heat dissipation, extended service life, and consistent performance under heavy-duty use. The pump features an oil level sight glass for easy maintenance monitoring, ensuring you can always verify proper lubrication at a glance.
Safety and reliability are paramount in the Elite Series design. The ASME code tank meets rigorous pressure vessel standards, while ASME safety valves provide critical overpressure protection. The start-stop pressure switch control provides reliable, automatic operation, cycling the compressor on and off as your air demand fluctuates. A fully enclosed high-flow belt guard protects operators while maintaining optimal cooling airflow to the pump and motor.
Every 338HE is equipped with a versatile tri-voltage motor that accommodates various three-phase power configurations, and each unit is 100% factory tested at full pressure before shipping—ensuring that your compressor arrives ready to perform exactly as specified.
