Description
Overview
The BendPak TSP-580V-601 is a two-stage, 5 HP reciprocating air compressor built around an 80-gallon vertical ASME tank. It is part of the Patriot line, assembled in the USA for shops that run air all day and need the pump to stay alive for years, not seasons.
This is a slow-running compressor. The cast-iron pump turns at 625 RPM, which keeps the unit quieter and cooler than high-speed designs and stretches service intervals. For an automotive bay, a body shop, or a light industrial line, that translates to steady delivery and lower lifetime operating cost.
Key Features
- 17 CFM at 175 PSI - enough continuous air for impact tools, sanders, and spray work in a single or two-bay shop.
- Two-stage cast-iron pump - compresses in two cylinders for higher pressure, with splash lubrication and finned cylinders for 360-degree cooling.
- 5 HP motor, 208-230V single phase - draws 24 amps and calls for a 40-amp breaker, so it runs on common single-phase shop power.
- 80-gallon vertical ASME tank - large reserve and a small floor footprint, with an electronic drain valve to clear condensate.
- Dual drive belts and magnetic starter - lower belt tension for longer belt and bearing life, plus thermal overload protection on start.
