EMAX ES10V080V1 – 10 HP Silent Air 2-Stage Vertical Compressor

Description

EMAX ES10V080V1 – 10 HP Silent Air 2-Stage Vertical Compressor (80 Gallon)

The EMAX ES10V080V1 is a heavy-duty 10 HP industrial “Silent Air” 2-stage vertical air compressor designed for professional workshops, automotive facilities, and light industrial environments that require high airflow, reduced noise, and continuous-duty performance capability.

It is part of EMAX’s ES (Silent Air / Whisper Series), which uses a noise-suppression intake system + low-RPM cast iron pump design to significantly reduce operating sound levels compared to standard piston compressors.

This model features a 10 HP single-phase electric motor, a two-stage pressure-lubricated cast iron pump, and an 80-gallon ASME-certified vertical tank, delivering approximately 38 CFM at 100 PSI with a maximum pressure of 175 PSI.

Key Features

• 10 HP industrial electric motor (208–230V single phase)
• Advanced Silent Air / Whisper intake noise reduction system
• Heavy-duty two-stage cast iron, pressure-lubricated pump
• Air delivery: ~38 CFM @ 100 PSI
• Maximum pressure: 175 PSI
• 80-gallon ASME-certified vertical steel tank
• Low-RPM industrial pump design (high durability, reduced wear)
• Magnetic starter (common configuration)
• Heavy-duty belt drive system
• Built-in intercooling and aftercooling for cooler air output
• Designed for continuous workshop operation with reduced noise footprint

Advantages

Silent Air Technology

Intake silencer reduces noise by routing air through baffle chambers, improving operator comfort.

High Airflow (38 CFM Class)

Supports multiple tools running simultaneously.

Heavy-Duty Cast Iron Pump

Designed for long service life and continuous shop use.

80-Gallon Tank Stability

Reduces pressure drops and compressor cycling.

Ideal Applications

• Automotive workshops
• Light industrial facilities
• Fabrication shops
• Maintenance departments
• Paint and finishing operations
• Multi-user pneumatic systems

EMAX ES10V080V1 – 10 HP Silent Air 2-Stage Vertical Compressor: Buying Considerations

The ES10V080V1 is designed for high-output shop environments where noise reduction is important. Compared to standard 10 HP piston compressors, it offers:

Much lower perceived noise (intake silencing system)
Stable airflow for multiple pneumatic tools
Reduced vibration due to low-RPM pump operation
Strong 38 CFM output suitable for demanding shop tasks

Typical applications include:

Automotive repair shops
Tire and service centers
Fabrication and welding shops
Maintenance facilities
Multi-tool pneumatic workstations

Before ordering the EMAX ES10V080V1 – 10 HP Silent Air 2-Stage Vertical 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.
