Description
Overview
The BendPak VMP-10120V-603 is a 10 HP, two-stage V-Max Elite air compressor on a 120-gallon vertical ASME tank, wired for 208-230V three-phase power. It is the largest unit in the V-Max line, built for shops that demand big air under continuous load.
The four-cylinder cast-iron pump runs at a low 625 RPM with a built-in intercooler and air-cooled after-cooler, which holds operating temperatures down and keeps condensation in check. With the 120-gallon reserve, it is suited to running several air tools at once without rapid cycling.
Key Features
- 26 CFM at 175 PSI - high continuous delivery for multi-bay automotive, body, or industrial work.
- 10 HP motor, 208-230V three phase - draws 18 amps on a 50-amp breaker, with a magnetic starter for overload protection.
- V-Max four-cylinder cast-iron pump - two-stage design at 625 RPM with V-4 finned cylinders for 360-degree cooling.
- 120-gallon vertical ASME tank - large reserve to support heavy simultaneous tool use with less cycling.
- Continuous duty cycle - intercooler and after-cooler keep the air dry and the pump cool on long runs.
