The Atlas Air Force AF9P is a 7.5 HP, two-stage air compressor with a 120-gallon horizontal steel tank, designed to supply compressed air for busy automotive and maintenance operations. Its belt-driven, two-cylinder pump runs at 1,750 RPM and operates within a 145–175 PSI range, providing a substantial air reserve for equipment used throughout the workday. The compressor requires 220V single-phase power, a 40-amp breaker, and #8 wire.

The AF9P includes Atlas’s Plus Package, which combines automatic low-oil monitoring, an automatic tank drain, and an air-cooled aftercooler. The low-oil monitor shuts the unit off if oil levels become unsafe, helping protect the pump from damage. The automatic drain clears collected condensate without requiring staff to drain the tank manually each day, while the aftercooler lowers the temperature of compressed air before it enters the tank. A finned inlet tube also helps cool incoming air and limit water accumulation. Together, these features reduce routine attention and help manage moisture in the compressed-air system.

Industrial controls include a Hubbell pressure switch and an EATON magnetic starter. The starter manages electrical input to the motor, while the heavy-duty metal belt guard encloses the drive components. Included vibro-isolation pads help reduce vibration transferred to the shop floor, and drain extension tubes make service points easier to reach.

The AF9P is suited to multi-bay repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and professional garages that depend on compressed air for daily tasks such as operating lifts, impact tools, sanders, and spray equipment. Its large tank and two-stage pump make it a practical option for shops with sustained air demand.

FAQ

Is the AF9P suitable for a multi-bay shop?

Yes. Atlas recommends the AF9P for large multi-bay shops and businesses that rely on compressed air daily. Its 7.5 HP motor, 120-gallon tank and 145–175 PSI operating range are designed for shop air demands, including lifts, impact tools, sanders and spray equipment.

What electrical service does it require?

The AF9P requires 220V single-phase power, a 40A breaker and #8 wire. Confirm that your electrical panel can support the circuit before ordering. This model is not compatible with 110V-only or three-phase service.

What’s included in the Plus Package?

The Plus Package includes three features:

• Automatic low-oil monitor: Shuts the compressor down if oil levels become too low.
• Automatic tank drain: Removes condensate without manual draining.
• Air-cooled aftercooler: Cools discharge air to help reduce moisture entering the air line.

Is the tank made in the USA?

Yes. The AF9P’s 120-gallon steel tank is manufactured in the United States.

Does the AF9P include a magnetic starter?

Yes. An EATON magnetic starter is standard equipment and controls electrical power to the motor.

What is the warranty?

The AF9P has a 1-year, parts-only warranty. Confirm coverage details at the time of order.
