The EMAX ERIK070001 is a 7.5 HP single-phase rotary screw air compressor package built for shops that need consistent airflow throughout the day. Unlike reciprocating piston compressors that require cool-down periods, the oil-injected rotary screw air end supports up to 100% duty cycle operation, delivering steady compressed air for demanding applications. The system arrives as a complete package with a 120-gallon horizontal air receiver tank and an integrated 30 CFM refrigerated air dryer. Note: requires 230V single-phase power with a 40-amp breaker.
The rotary screw design uses interlocking male and female rotors to produce continuous airflow with less cycling and downtime than traditional piston systems. The integrated refrigerated dryer removes moisture before air reaches your tools and equipment, while the dual-timer automatic drain clears condensate from the tank on a programmable schedule. A swing-arm dryer mount allows the dryer to move away from the cabinet for easier service access, and the multi-belt V-drive reduces belt strain, vibration, and wear during long operating hours.
A strong choice for busy automotive shops, manufacturing facilities, production environments, and service bays that need reliable compressed air for extended periods. The 120-gallon tank helps handle changing air demand, while the factory-assembled design with connecting hoses, initial filters, and break-in oil simplifies installation and setup.
Features
-
Rotary Screw Air End
Oil-injected male and female rotor design delivers steady compressed air with up to 100% duty-cycle capability for continuous operation and reliable airflow.
-
Integrated 30 CFM Refrigerated Air Dryer
Built-in dryer removes moisture from compressed air using a condenser and cooling fan to help protect tools, air lines, and finished surfaces.
-
Dual-Timer Electric Auto Drain

Warranty
The ERIK070001 rotary screw compressor includes a 1-year standard warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship, including the rotary screw pump and electric motor, plus 1 year of warranty labor from an authorized technician.
Extended coverage is available through EMAX warranty and SMART OIL auto-ship maintenance programs, providing up to 10 years of coverage on the rotary screw pump and 5 years on the single-phase motor. Owners enrolled in the auto-ship program may also qualify for a limited lifetime pump warranty. The integrated refrigerated air dryer includes a 1-year standard warranty, extendable up to 3 years.
Extended and lifetime warranty coverage requires registration, use of EMAX SMART OIL, and compliance with the recommended maintenance schedule.
FAQ
What electrical service does the ERIK070001 require?
The compressor operates on 230V single-phase power and draws 28.8 full-load amps, including a 1.15 service factor. EMAX recommends a dedicated 40A breaker.
Does it include an air dryer?
Yes. The package includes an integrated 30 CFM refrigerated air dryer that removes moisture from compressed air before it reaches tools and air lines.
Can it run continuously?
Yes. The oil-injected rotary screw air end is rated for up to 100% duty cycle, allowing continuous operation without the frequent cycling associated with piston compressors.
What maintenance does it need?
The unit ships with break-in oil and filters that are replaced at 600 hours, then serviced according to the EMAX maintenance schedule (annually or every 4,000 hours). The recommended service kit is SKIT001AWB, and EMAX SMART OIL is required to maintain extended or lifetime warranty coverage.
