EMAX 7.5 HP 80-Gallon Two-Stage Air Compressor ESS07V080Z1

The EMAX Industrial ESS07V080Z1 is a 7.5 HP, 80-gallon two-stage air compressor built for automotive shops, fleet maintenance bays, and advanced home garages that need dependable compressed air throughout the day. Delivering 35 CFM at up to 175 PSI, this 230V single-phase unit combines a three-cylinder pump with a vertical ASME-certified tank to provide the airflow needed for impact tools, grinders, sanders, and other demanding shop equipment. Its patented Silent Air™ silencer reduces intake noise with baffle plates and high-capacity filtration, bringing operation down to around conversational volume while keeping the pump accessible for maintenance.

The two-stage splash-lubricated pump uses connecting-rod oil dippers to distribute oil to cylinders, pistons, and bearings during each cycle, providing a proven lubrication method designed for long-term shop use. A multi-belt V-drive with wider B- and C-width belts spreads the load across more surface area than a single belt system, reducing belt tension, vibration, and stress on the motor and pump bearings for improved durability during frequent operation.

A strong fit for professional repair shops, fleet service facilities, and serious garage setups, the ESS07V080Z1 arrives ready to install with a factory-installed magnetic starter, vibration isolator pads, and a WEG open-drip-proof motor. The 80-gallon vertical tank saves floor space while maintaining air storage capacity, and ETL, ASME, and CRN certifications provide the electrical and pressure-vessel compliance expected in commercial environments. The unit also qualifies for extended warranty coverage through the EMAX SMART Oil™ maintenance program.

Features

• Patented Silent Air™ silencer — Uses baffle plates and high-capacity intake filtration to reduce operating noise to approximately conversational levels while maintaining easy access for inspection and service.
• Three-cylinder, two-stage pump — A splash-lubricated pump design provides consistent oil distribution to cylinders, pistons, and bearings for reliable performance and long service life.
• Multi-belt V-belt drive — Wider B- and C-width belts provide increased grip and improved power transfer while reducing belt tension, vibration, and wear compared with single narrow-belt systems.
• WEG open drip-proof (ODP) motor — Includes a factory-installed magnetic motor starter for reliable operation and simplified electrical installation.
• Vertical 80-gallon ASME-certified tank — Features a stable ring base and manual drain valve, offering a smaller footprint while maintaining durable air storage capacity.
• ETL, ASME, and CRN certified — Meets recognized electrical and pressure-vessel standards for professional shop applications.
• Vibration isolator pads included — Help reduce vibration transmission and improve stability during operation.

Specifications

Warranty

The EMAX ESS07V080Z1 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. Warranty replacement parts include ground freight coverage during the first six months of the standard warranty period.

By registering the compressor and enrolling in the EMAX SMART Oil™ maintenance program, coverage can be extended to a full 5-year warranty, along with a non-prorated limited lifetime warranty on the pump. The lifetime pump coverage remains active as long as the unit stays enrolled in the SMART Oil™ auto-ship program and the required maintenance schedule is followed.

The EMAX 5-Year Extended Warranty Kit, sold separately, includes the SMART Oil™ and filters required for the extended warranty maintenance schedule. Only EMAX-approved oil and filters should be used to maintain warranty eligibility. The first oil change is required within the initial 70 hours of operation, followed by oil changes every 1,000 hours or six months, whichever occurs first.

FAQ

What electrical service does it require?
The ESS07V080Z1 operates on 230V single-phase power and draws 38.9 amps at full load with a 1.15 service factor. EMAX recommends a 50-amp breaker. With a starting (locked-rotor) current of approximately 210 amps, the electrical circuit and starter must be properly sized for startup demand.

How loud is it compared with a standard compressor?
The patented Silent Air™ silencer uses baffle plates and high-capacity intake filtration to reduce operating noise to at or below normal conversational levels. The external silencing system maintains easy access to the pump and belt components without requiring a restrictive enclosure.

How much air does it deliver?
The compressor delivers 35 CFM, with 30 CFM available at its maximum 175 PSI operating pressure. This capacity is suitable for a wide range of shop applications, including pneumatic tools, impact wrenches, and intermittent spray painting.

Is the pump pressure-lubricated or splash-lubricated?
This model uses a splash-lubricated pump system, where rod dippers circulate crankcase oil to lubricate cylinders and bearings. When enrolled in the SMART Oil™ maintenance program and properly maintained, the pump is covered under EMAX’s limited lifetime warranty.

What does the warranty cover?
The compressor includes 1-year coverage for parts and labor from the date of delivery. Registering the unit and maintaining it through the EMAX SMART Oil™ program extends coverage to 5 years and adds a non-prorated limited lifetime warranty on the pump.

The compressor ships by freight, crated on a pallet, with a shipping weight of approximately 899 lb.
