BelAire 338VE4 5 HP 80 Gallon Vertical 2-Stage "Elite" Air Compressor
IMPORTANT: This compressor requires three-phase electric power (460V/3-Phase). Verify your facility has the proper electrical service before ordering.
The BelAire 338VE4 represents the pinnacle of industrial air compression technology in the Elite Series lineup. This 5 HP, 80-gallon vertical two-stage compressor delivers serious performance with 18.50 CFM at 100 PSI and 16.60 CFM at 175 PSI, making it ideal for demanding automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, and heavy-duty industrial applications. Built with solid cast iron cylinders and designed for continuous-duty operation, this unit combines proven BelAire engineering with premium Elite Series features that set it apart from standard commercial compressors.
This Elite Series compressor comes loaded with professional-grade features including a magnetic starter, low oil level switch for pump protection, automatic tank drain to eliminate moisture buildup, and a triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler for cooler, drier compressed air. Every component is engineered for reliability and long service life, from the fully enclosed high-flow belt guard to the convenient oil level sight glass. Each unit is 100% factory tested at full pressure and backed by a comprehensive 2-year bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Elite Series Advantages
All BelAire Elite Series compressors include premium features that aren't found on standard models. The magnetic starter provides smooth, reliable motor operation and overload protection. The low oil switch automatically shuts down the compressor if oil levels drop dangerously low, preventing catastrophic pump damage. The automatic tank drain eliminates the daily maintenance chore of manually draining condensate, while the triple-pass pump-mounted aftercooler dramatically reduces moisture content in your compressed air system. These aren't optional upgrades—they're standard equipment on every Elite Series unit.
