EMAX ESP05V080I1PK – Silent 1PH Vertical Air Compressor

Description

EMAX ESP05V080I1PK – Silent Air 5 HP 1-Phase Vertical Compressor (80 Gallon, 2-Stage + Dryer)

The EMAX ESP05V080I1PK is a premium industrial “Silent Air / Whisper Series” 5 HP two-stage vertical air compressor system designed for workshops that need quiet operation, continuous-duty capability, and clean, dry compressed air.

It combines a 5 HP single-phase electric motor, a two-stage cast iron pressure-lubricated pump, an 80-gallon ASME vertical tank, and often includes an integrated refrigerated air dryer package, making it a complete shop air solution rather than just a basic compressor unit.

This model is widely used in professional environments where noise reduction and air quality matter as much as performance.

Key Features

• 5 HP industrial single-phase electric motor (230V)
• Advanced Silent Air / Whisper intake noise suppression system
• Heavy-duty two-stage cast iron, pressure-lubricated pump
• Air delivery: ~19 CFM @ 100 PSI
• Maximum pressure: 175 PSI
• 80-gallon ASME-certified vertical tank
• Low-RPM pump design (~800 RPM) for longer service life
• Belt-drive system with industrial-grade components
• Integrated automatic tank drain (on PK bundle variants)
• Optional/typical refrigerated air dryer system (PK package)
• Designed for continuous or high-duty workshop use

Before ordering the EMAX ESP05V080I1PK – Silent 1PH Vertical 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.
