The Atlas Air Force AF8 is the perfect compressor for the 3-4 man auto shop... or for the one man shop that wants to be prepared for future growth. The AF8 is what we recommend for a small business that depends on their air compressor to deliver flawlessly every business day. The Atlas Air Force AF8 operates between 145-175 PSI. The AF8 comes standard with a USA made 80 gallon steel tank and also includes a magnetic starter. The magnetic starter controls the electric input and adds to the longevity of the unit.

The Atlas Air Force air compressors are powerful, belt driven reciprocating air compressors designed and built to offer years of trouble-free service. The Atlas Air Force shop compressor is built to the same exacting standards as the entire line of Atlas professional grade automotive equipment.

FEATURES INFORMATION:

Magnetic Starter: The Magnetic Starter is the "thinking cap" for the motor of the air compressor. Magnetic starters are electromagnetically operated switches that provide a safe method for certain motors to be started under a large motor load. The overload relay inside the magnetic starters will prevent the supply voltage from energizing the motor if the starter detects a motor overload situation. Heaters (in series) are responsible for allowing current to reach the motor (and start it) or prevent the current from reaching the motor (preventing a motor failure). Magnetic starters will allow a motor (when properly sized to the compressor pump) to operate at a 100% duty cycle. A heavy-duty pressure switch can also be used (with some motors) to mimic the actions of a magnetic starter.

Hands Free Water Drain: The water drain is conveniently located on the base of the air compressor for hands free water drain operation. You can also hook up a hose to ensure your air compressor drains the water where you want it to.

Oil Drain Extension Tube: The oil drain extension tube allows you to easily drain the oil in the air compressor.

Vibro-Isolation Pads: When the compressor "starts up", there is a vibration created which puts a stress on the legs of the air tank. The pads absorb the vibration and prevent damage to the weldment between the tank and the legs.
