EMAX 7.5 HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Air Compressor ESS07V080Y1

The EMAX Silent Air Industrial ESS07V080Y1 is a 7.5 HP, 80-gallon two-stage vertical air compressor designed for shops that need reliable airflow throughout the workday while keeping noise under control. The three-cylinder pump delivers 26 CFM at up to 175 PSI, making it suitable for impact tools, paint equipment, grinders, and other shop applications. Its compact vertical design keeps the footprint around 39" x 25", while the patented Silent Air™ intake silencer reduces compressor noise by targeting the loudest source — the air intake — with noise-reducing baffle plates and high-capacity filtration.

The external Silent Air system provides up to 50% quieter operation compared with traditional intake setups while keeping the pump, belts, and fittings accessible for routine maintenance. The splash-lubricated two-stage pump uses connecting-rod oil dippers to deliver lubrication directly to the cylinders and pistons during operation, offering a simple, proven design with an estimated 50,000-hour pump life. A multi-belt V-drive spreads the load across wider belts, reducing tension on the motor and pump bearings while lowering vibration and wear during long run cycles.

Built for automotive repair shops, fabrication spaces, and professional home garages that need dependable compressed air without taking up excessive floor space, this unit arrives ready for installation with a factory-installed magnetic starter, vibration isolator pads, and an 80-gallon ASME-certified tank. Its combination of reduced noise, service-friendly design, and continuous shop capability makes it a practical choice for daily-duty air applications.

Features

Silent Air™ Intake Silencing

The patented Silent Air™ intake silencer reduces compressor noise by targeting the intake system, one of the loudest sources of operating sound. Using stacked baffle plates and high-capacity filter media, it helps lower intake noise while providing improved filtration by removing more airborne debris than standard intake filters.

The external mounting design keeps the pump accessible, allowing quick inspection, maintenance, and service without the need for a fully enclosed cabinet system.

Multi-Belt V-Belt Drive

The compressor uses a multi-belt drive system with wider B- and C-width belts instead of a single narrow A-width belt. The increased belt surface area improves power transfer while allowing each belt to operate at lower tension.

This reduces stress on the motor and pump bearings, helping minimize vibration and noise while improving belt durability and overall system reliability over thousands of operating hours.

Three-Cylinder, Two-Stage Splash-Lubricated Pump

The three-cylinder, two-stage pump (model APP3Y0732TR2) compresses air in two stages to efficiently reach a maximum pressure of 175 PSI. The splash-lubricated design provides reliable operation and is rated for an estimated 50,000-hour pump life. The pump has an oil capacity of 1.6 quarts.

Specifications

Warranty

Every EMAX piston compressor includes a 1-year standard warranty covering defects in materials, workmanship, and parts from the date of delivery, along with one year of warranty labor performed by an authorized technician. Ground freight for warranty parts is also covered during the first six months.

Coverage can be extended to a full 5-year warranty, along with a limited lifetime warranty on the pump, by registering the compressor and enrolling in the EMAX SMART OIL™ maintenance program. This requires following the scheduled oil and filter maintenance plan using the EFKIT008AWB service kit. The limited lifetime pump warranty is non-prorated and has no hour limitations.

Routine maintenance, including oil changes, filter replacements, and belt adjustments, as well as normal wear components, are not covered under warranty. Warranty coverage requires proper operation and maintenance according to the owner’s manual.

FAQ

What electrical service does it require?
The compressor requires 230V single-phase power with a dedicated circuit. It draws 38.9 full-load amps, and EMAX recommends a 50-amp breaker. With a 210-amp locked-rotor starting current, this is not a standard 120V plug-in unit and should be installed as a hardwired connection to the included magnetic starter.

How loud is it?
The patented Silent Air™ silencer reduces intake noise and is rated for up to 50% quieter operation compared with standard open-intake compressors, bringing sound levels closer to conversational volume.

Is it a continuous-duty compressor?
The compressor is rated for a 60% duty cycle rather than true continuous operation, meaning it is designed to run approximately six minutes out of every ten minutes under load. This provides sufficient capacity for most shop applications and tool usage, while the 80-gallon tank helps handle short periods of higher demand.

How do I receive the 5-year warranty and limited lifetime pump coverage?
To qualify, register the compressor with EMAX and enroll in the SMART OIL™ maintenance program. Maintaining the required oil and filter service schedule upgrades coverage from the standard 1-year warranty to 5 years on the compressor and provides a limited lifetime, non-prorated warranty on the pump.
