EMAX 10 HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Air Compressor ESP10V080V1PK

The EMAX Industrial Plus ESP10V080V1PK is a complete 10 HP compressed air system combining a two-stage piston compressor, 80-gallon vertical tank, and 58 CFM refrigerated air dryer for shops that need clean, reliable air from a 230V single-phase connection. The pressure-lubricated V4 pump delivers 38 CFM at 100 PSI and 34 CFM at 175 PSI, providing enough capacity for air tools, spray equipment, and blast cabinets. Its Silent Air™ intake system reduces operating noise by up to 50% while maintaining easy access for service.

The compressor is built around a pressure-lubricated all-cast-iron pump designed for long-term shop use, with an estimated 70,000-hour pump life. A gear-driven oil pump continuously feeds critical bearing points, while rifle-drilled crankshaft and connecting rods deliver direct lubrication to high-friction components. The included 58 CFM refrigerated air dryer adds moisture control with a built-in prefilter and coalescing filter, helping protect air lines, tools, and finished work from water and contaminants. A dual-timer automatic tank drain removes collected moisture without daily manual draining.

Designed for automotive repair shops, body shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial operations, the ESP10V080V1PK provides a ready-to-install air solution for demanding daily workloads. The continuous-run head unloader system reduces repeated motor starts during high-demand cycles, while features like the multi-belt drive, dual-bolt belt tensioner, magnetic starter, and vibration isolator pads simplify maintenance and support dependable operation. Ships by freight due to system size and weight.

Features

Pressure-Lubricated Pump
A gear-driven oil pump provides continuous pressurized lubrication to crankshaft bearings and connecting rod components, reducing friction, heat, and wear during heavy-duty operation. Includes a bleeder valve, adjustable regulator, liquid-filled pressure gauge, and spin-on oil filter for reliable performance and easy maintenance.

100% Cast Iron Pump Construction
Built with cast iron crankcase, cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, crankshaft, and high-pressure piston for superior durability in high-duty-cycle applications. The two-stage design uses lightweight aluminum low-pressure pistons for improved balance and efficiency.

Heavy-Duty Pistons and Connecting Rods
Cast iron high-pressure pistons resist wear and scoring, while CNC-machined connecting rods with replaceable bearing inserts provide a fully rebuildable design. Rifle-drilled oil passages ensure continuous lubrication to critical components.

Four-Ring Piston Design
Two oil-control rings and two compression rings maximize sealing, reduce blow-by, minimize oil carryover, and extend piston-ring life.

CNC-Machined Disc Valves
Precision-ground concentric disc valves deliver reliable sealing, long service life, and quick maintenance compared with traditional reed-style valves.

Cast Iron Cylinder Heads
Heavy-duty cast iron heads provide improved rigidity, stronger fastener retention, and dependable gasket sealing under demanding operating conditions.

Precision Cast Iron Cylinders
CNC-machined and precision-honed cylinders provide accurate tolerances, easier break-in, reduced oil carryover, and extended ring life. Deep cooling fins improve heat dissipation during continuous operation.

Heavy-Duty Flywheel and Multi-Belt Drive
A 20-inch cast iron flywheel with dual B-style belts increases energy efficiency, reduces amp draw, improves cooling, and lowers vibration for longer system life.

Continuous Run with Head Unloader
The pilot valve unloads the compressor at maximum pressure, allowing the motor to continue running without compression. This reduces electrical demand, minimizes wear from repeated starts, and supports high-demand applications.

Dual-Bolt Belt Tensioner
Provides accurate belt alignment and tension adjustment without pry bars, helping extend belt and pulley life.

Pump Mounting Riser
Raises the pump to improve airflow around the flywheel and oil reservoir for enhanced cooling performance.

Dual-Timer Automatic Tank Drain
Automatically removes moisture from the receiver tank with adjustable drain intervals and open-time settings. Includes an air muffler for quieter condensate discharge.

Specifications

Warranty

The compressor includes a 1-year standard warranty covering defects in materials, workmanship, and parts, with 1 year of warranty labor from an authorized technician. Registering the unit with EMAX and following the extended warranty maintenance plan using EMAX SMART OIL extends coverage up to 5 years.

The maintenance schedule requires replacing the factory break-in oil within the first 70 hours of operation, followed by oil changes every 6 months or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. The EMAX 5-Year Extended Warranty Kit (EFKIT008AWBS, sold separately) is designed for 5–10 HP Silent Air electric models and includes the components and lubricants needed for startup and ongoing maintenance.

The included refrigerated air dryer has its own 1-year warranty with 1 year of warranty labor. Dryer coverage can be extended up to 3 years by registering for the extended warranty plan and purchasing one Airbase dryer filter replacement kit annually.

FAQ

What electrical service does it require?

The unit requires 230V single-phase power (±10%) with a recommended 60A breaker. It operates at 52.9 full-load amps with a 1.15 service factor and has a 270A locked-rotor starting draw. A magnetic starter is included.

Can it run all day?

The compressor is rated for a 60% duty cycle and supports continuous-run operation. For applications above a 40% duty cycle, the pilot valve ball valve can be opened so the head unloader keeps the motor running unloaded between demand cycles instead of stopping and restarting.

How quiet is it?

EMAX Silent Air technology reduces intake noise — the primary source of compressor sound — using baffle plates and high-capacity filter media. It provides up to 50% quieter operation while keeping the pump accessible for service.

What maintenance does it need?

Replace the break-in oil within the first 70 hours, then change oil every 6 months or 1,000 hours, whichever comes first. The oil capacity is 2 quarts. The spin-on oil filter and Silent Air filters are serviced with the EFKIT008AWBS kit, and EMAX-approved oils must be used to maintain warranty coverage.

Does the dryer remove water from the air?

Yes. The included 58 CFM refrigerated dryer removes moisture from compressed air using a built-in 0.001-micron prefilter and 0.005-micron coalescing prefilter. The dual-timer automatic drain also removes condensed water from the air receiver tank.
