Product Description
The California Air Tools CALAIR 80050BD is a powerful 5.0 HP continuous-run, oil-lubricated belt-driven air compressor designed for commercial and industrial environments. It features a large 80-gallon ASME-certified steel air tank and a three-cylinder single-stage belt-driven pump engineered for reliable airflow and extended operation.
The CALAIR 80050BD is designed for continuous running for up to 8 hours at 90 PSI. Its belt-driven oil-lubricated pump operates at 1072 RPM and is designed for a 5,000 to 10,000-hour service life before maintenance or service. The compressor delivers 17.5 CFM at 40 PSI and 15.0 CFM at 90 PSI.
The large 80-gallon ASME-certified vertical steel tank provides substantial compressed-air storage for shops, warehouses and factories. The compressor uses a 208–230V, 60Hz, single-phase electrical configuration and requires a dedicated 30-amp outlet.
