Professional-Grade Performance with Whisper-Quiet Operation
The BelAire QP338VLE combines commercial-grade air delivery with sophisticated noise reduction, making it the ideal choice for professional shops where performance and a comfortable work environment matter equally. Delivering 25.3 ACFM at 100 PSI and 22.3 ACFM at 175 PSI from a powerful 7.5HP three-phase motor, this compressor handles demanding air tool applications with ease. The integrated low-sound enclosure keeps noise output to an impressively quiet 69 dBA—comparable to normal conversation—ensuring your shop remains productive without the industrial roar typical of traditional compressors.
The BelAire Quiet Performance (QP) Series represents a fully featured piston air compressor engineered for long-term reliability and carefree operation. At the heart of this unit is a rugged cast iron cylinder pump designed to withstand years of continuous use. The 80-gallon vertical ASME/CRN certified tank provides ample air storage capacity, reducing motor cycling and extending equipment life. With a footprint of just 38.2" x 24.3" and a vertical profile of 80", the QP338VLE maximizes air capacity while minimizing valuable floor space.
Engineered for Worry-Free Operation
BelAire has equipped the QP338VLE with a comprehensive suite of safety and convenience features that set it apart from basic shop compressors. The low oil level protection system automatically shuts down the pump before damage can occur, preventing costly repairs and downtime. A high temperature shut down switch adds an extra layer of thermal protection, monitoring pump temperature and interrupting operation if conditions exceed safe limits. These intelligent safeguards work silently in the background to protect your investment.
Daily maintenance is virtually eliminated thanks to the factory-installed automatic tank drain, which purges moisture from the receiver without operator intervention. A triple-pass pump mounted aftercooler dramatically reduces moisture in the compressed air stream, protecting your air tools and improving finish quality. The magnetic starter provides safe, reliable motor control with built-in overload protection. Vibration isolator pads dampen operational vibration, reducing stress on mounting surfaces and further contributing to the compressor's exceptional quietness.
A high-flow cooling fan ensures superior heat dissipation, maintaining optimal operating temperatures even during extended run cycles. Every BelAire QP338VLE is 100% factory tested at full pressure before shipment, guaranteeing that your compressor arrives ready to perform flawlessly from day one. This rigorous quality control process is backed by the best warranty in the business, giving you complete confidence in your investment.
