Do you have plenty of air? To the rest of the world that means something different than it does to those of us who work on cars. But if you count on air tools to solve mechanical challenges, you understand. When you need air tools to remove control arms, wheels, changing an exhaust manifold, or running a cut-off wheel, there isn’t really time to keep waiting for an air compressor to go back over 100 psi. As basic as it sounds, you need air when you need it. That is exactly what BendPak’s Air Compressors are built for.
BendPak Air Compressors are now Made in the USA and always ready to supply all the air you need. This means that they are produced with the same great materials and precision as those tools are that you got from your dad. With a Made-in-the-USA BendPak air compressor set up in your garage, you can tell your dad cool stories.
Beneath the paint and decals on a BendPak Air Compressor you will find engineering features like larger pistons for robust air pumping that at the same time, run at lower speeds for reduced wear. This also means less heat and therefore less opportunity for the compressor to produce in-line moisture. Depending on the compressor you select, power levels are available from 5.0 to 10.0 horsepower. Air tank sizes come in 80 to 120 gallon volumes, much larger than the 20 or 26 gallon jobs from many import tool stores. Long-lasting made in USA construction is the theme throughout the BendPak Air Compressor line. The rugged design incorporates cast iron pumps that are more stable under heavy operation as compared to aluminum castings with pressed-in cylinder sleeves. Tubing is manufactured from corrosion-resistant materials for long life in all environments. A beefy ductile iron crankshaft is installed to offer extra strength and longer life. And the flywheel and the crankshaft are balanced for accurate, vibration-free rotational operation.
The upright design of a BendPak Air Compressor is also designed with your work in mind. A BendPak Air Compressor’s vertical orientation allows you to keep more floor space beneath it after installation. This vertical orientation allows the air compressor to be placed in corners or along walls, netting a smaller footprint than a horizontal orientation. This not only frees up more floor space, but it also makes it easier to clean below the compressor. That can be a timesaver when it is time to find and retrieve dropped tools or parts. There is nothing like having to look for your only 8mm socket that has disappeared under a large amount of dust and debris. BendPak series of air compressors are designed for your busy work days. With all of BendPak’s air compressors, you will find this attention to detail and operational access means a high volume of good air pressure each time you need it.
Are you looking for an affordable air compressor that can keep pace with your home garage or shop? BendPak’s TSP-580V-601, Patriot Air Compressor is a useful addition to many work areas, as it is built to provide up to 175 psi air pressure via a low-rpm running sturdy air pump. Integrated pressure unloader valves are built into the intake valve assembly on the compressor head, reducing internal pump heat from initial start‐up compression. That plus the low rpm operation are both designed to allow the unit to last longer, run quieter, run cooler and cost less in electricity to operate. BendPak’s Patriot TSP-580V-601 air compressors have the important features you want. Here are just some of the reasons why the Patriot TSP-580V-601 is one of BendPak’s most popular air compressors:
Examine BendPak’s Patriot TSP-580V-601 closer and you will find that the large vertical tank stores 80 gallons of air pressure supplied via a 5 horsepower motor. The solid 100% cast iron pump provides the quality and performance needed for repeated‐use applications. This means relentless jobs like automotive and body repairs to manufacturing and industrial service.
BendPak’s V-Max Patriot 7580V-601 air compressor brings more power to the party, with a stronger 7.5 horsepower motor. The V-Max Patriot 2-Stage/V-4’s pump makes this larger power possible with a 4-cylinder configuration instead of the 2-piston that the TSP-580V-601 Patriot uses. As with all Patriot air compressors, BendPak’s V-Max 7580V-601 is made in the USA and features an 80-gallon air tank.
But there is more. BendPak’s V-Max Patriot 7580V-601 delivers a larger volume of air per minute into the 80-gallon air tank. Our engineering gurus rank this volume in terms of CFM. That stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. In the case of this 7.5 horsepower V-Max Patriot 7580V-601, the air volume is 26 CFM. Which is significantly larger than the more affordable 5 horsepower Patriot TSP-580V-601 that delivers 17 CFM. This extra dose of V-Max Patriot 7580V-601 air is important. That is because if your shop tends to run on the busier side, this compressor with its larger CFM capability can replenish the air in the tank quicker.
