EMAX ERIK150003 – 3PH Rotary Screw Air Compressor

Description

EMAX ERIK150003 – Industrial 15 HP 3-Phase Rotary Screw Air Compressor (120 Gallon Tank Mounted, With Dryer)

The EMAX ERIK150003 is a high-efficiency industrial rotary screw air compressor system designed for continuous-duty factory, workshop, and production environments. It belongs to EMAX’s advanced tank-mounted rotary screw series, combining a 15 HP three-phase motor, oil-injected rotary screw air-end, and a 120-gallon ASME-certified air receiver tank with integrated air treatment.

This system is engineered for facilities that require stable, nonstop compressed air (100% duty cycle) with low noise, high efficiency, and minimal pressure fluctuation, making it significantly more advanced than piston-type compressors.

It delivers approximately 58–62 CFM at 100 PSI with a maximum pressure of around 145 PSI, depending on configuration.

Key Features

• 15 HP industrial three-phase electric motor (230/460V)
• Oil-injected rotary screw air-end (continuous duty, 100%)
• 120-gallon ASME-certified horizontal air tank
• Integrated refrigerated air dryer system (package dependent)
• Air delivery: ~58–62 CFM @ 100 PSI
• Maximum pressure: ~145 PSI
• Sound-insulated industrial cabinet (low-noise operation ~65–67 dBA class)
• PLC-based Logic 9 smart controller (monitoring, scheduling, diagnostics)
• High-efficiency cooling system (oil + air radiator)
• Coalescing filtration for cleaner, drier air output
• Designed for 24/7 industrial operation

EMAX ERIK150003 – 3PH Rotary Screw Air Compressor: Buying Considerations

The ERIK150003 is designed for continuous industrial air demand, where piston compressors would fail due to cycling limits and heat buildup. The rotary screw system provides:

Constant airflow without pressure dips
No start/stop cycling (reduces wear significantly)
High efficiency at long runtime
Much quieter operation than reciprocating compressors

Its ~60 CFM output allows it to support:

Multiple CNC machines
Automated production equipment
Packaging lines
Multi-user workshop air systems
Continuous pneumatic tooling

Before ordering the EMAX ERIK150003 – 3PH Rotary Screw Air Compressor from EMAX, review the points below against your actual site conditions and workload. Published specifications describe the equipment under test conditions, and real-world performance depends on how closely your application matches those conditions. Buyers in the United States, Canada, and Asia should also confirm local voltage and frequency requirements, applicable safety or emissions standards, and freight or import logistics for the destination before finalizing an order.

What to Check Before You Buy

• Total the real CFM demand of every tool that could run at the same time, then add reserve capacity for leaks and future tools – not just the single largest tool's rating.
• Confirm voltage and phase availability (120V/240V, single/three-phase) matches the compressor's electrical requirement.
• Check tank size relative to duty cycle – a larger tank reduces motor cycling on intermittent loads but does not substitute for adequate CFM on continuous-demand tools.
• Review noise rating if the compressor will run in an occupied or noise-sensitive space.

Does tank size matter more than CFM for a shop air compressor?

CFM output matters more for continuous-demand tools (sanders, grinders); tank size matters more for intermittent high-draw tools (impact wrenches, nail guns) where the tank supplies a burst faster than the motor could alone. Undersized CFM cannot be fixed by a bigger tank if the tool's continuous demand exceeds the compressor's output.

For sizing help across the full Compressor category, compare specifications side by side before committing to a specific model, and confirm current pricing, availability, and freight details for your location. Keep the supplier data sheet and any acceptance criteria on record for future maintenance and replacement decisions.
