The BelAire BR5503 represents the ideal quiet compressed air solution for automotive repair shops, body shops, and facilities demanding reliable, continuous-duty performance. This 5HP belt drive rotary screw air compressor combines professional-grade engineering with a remarkably compact footprint—occupying less than 12 square feet of floor space while delivering 16.6 ACFM at 150 PSI. Built for 100% duty cycle operation, the BR5503 ensures your shop never waits for air, maintaining consistent pressure even during the most demanding applications. With an exceptionally quiet 62 dBA sound level and a robust 60-gallon ASME/CRN certified receiver tank, this rotary screw compressor delivers the reliability and efficiency your operation requires in a user-friendly, low-maintenance package.
Professional Performance in a Compact Design
The BelAire BR5503 is engineered to provide the kind of compressed air performance that professionals depend on, without monopolizing valuable shop floor space. This rotary screw air compressor delivers continuous compressed air flow with superior efficiency compared to traditional piston compressors, making it the perfect choice for shops that run air tools throughout the workday.
What sets the BR5503 apart is its ability to run continuously without the thermal cycling that limits piston compressors. Whether you're operating spray guns, pneumatic lifts, impact wrenches, or multiple air tools simultaneously, this 5HP three-phase compressor maintains steady pressure and airflow. The belt drive design ensures smooth, efficient operation while reducing wear and extending service life—critical for busy automotive and body shop environments where downtime means lost revenue.
Please note: This unit requires three-phase electric power. The tri-voltage TEFC motor accepts 208-230V or 460V, 60Hz, 3-phase power, providing installation flexibility for a wide range of commercial and industrial facilities. The across-the-line motor starter and UL and UL-C approved control panel ensure safe, reliable operation that meets North American electrical standards.

Rotary Screw Technology Advantages
Rotary screw technology delivers continuous, efficient compressed air for professional applications
Rotary screw compressors like the BelAire BR5503 offer significant performance advantages over reciprocating piston compressors, especially in professional environments. The rotary screw design produces smooth, pulse-free air delivery without the vibration and noise characteristic of piston compressors. This translates to cleaner air quality, reduced maintenance requirements, and exceptional reliability during continuous operation.
The BR5503 ships with a factory fill of premium lubricant rated for 4,000 hours of operation in clean environments—dramatically reducing maintenance intervals compared to piston compressors. The belt drive system further enhances durability by isolating the motor from compressor vibration and allowing for simple belt tensioning and replacement when needed.
Professional-grade components ensure long service life and minimal downtime
Built for Automotive and Body Shop Environments
Automotive repair and body shops have unique compressed air demands. Paint spraying requires clean, dry, consistent air. Pneumatic tools need immediate response and sustained pressure. Lifts and tire equipment demand reliability. The BelAire BR5503 meets all these requirements with professional-grade engineering and robust construction.
At just 62 dBA, this compressor operates quieter than normal conversation, creating a more comfortable work environment for technicians who spend their entire day in the shop. The low sound enclosure not only reduces noise but also protects internal components from dust and debris, extending service life in real-world shop conditions.
With dimensions of 56" × 22" × 50" and a shipping weight of 463-485 lbs, the BR5503 provides a stable, professional installation without requiring excessive floor space. The compact vertical design fits easily in equipment rooms, against walls, or in corners—wherever you need reliable compressed air without sacrificing valuable work area.
