5 - 15 Horsepower

Rotary screw air compressors from 5 to 15 HP suit shops that run air all day - lifts, tire changers, impact guns and blow-off. This category holds 27 EMAX models in four sizes: 5, 7.5, 10 and 15 HP, priced from $6,665 to $19,144.

Pick the configuration first. Cabinet-only units are floor-mount models that do not include a receiving tank or air dryer, while tank-mounted packages arrive on an 80 or 120 gallon receiver with the air dryer included. Then pick the drive: fixed-speed Industrial models, or Variable Speed Direct Drive, which EMAX rates at up to 33% lower energy demand. Check your panel as well - at 15 HP the fixed-speed units are three-phase only, and the single-phase 15 HP is a VSD cabinet. Order online or call 800-562-4791.
