Atlas Air Force AF6 80 Gallon 2-Stage Air Compressor | 5 HP | 220V Single Phase | 175 PSI | 18.5 CFM @ 145 PSI The Atlas Air Force AF6 is an entry-level commercial-grade two-stage air compressor built for automotive repair shops, fabrication facilities, manufacturing operations, and professional service centers that demand higher air pressure and continuous performance. Powered by a heavy-duty 5 HP motor and a rugged three-cylinder cast iron two-stage compressor pump, the AF6 delivers outstanding airflow while producing operating pressures up to 175 PSI. Featuring an American-made 80-gallon ASME vertical air tank, the AF6 provides excellent air storage for high-demand pneumatic equipment. The low-RPM motor, combined with two low-pressure cylinders and one high-pressure cylinder, produces 18.5 CFM at 145 PSI and 14.5 CFM at 175 PSI while maintaining exceptionally quiet operation compared to many competing compressors. The AF6 includes premium features designed for long-term reliability and simplified maintenance, including vibration isolation pads, a finned tank inlet tube that reduces moisture accumulation, a hands-free tank drain extension, and a heavy-duty metal belt guard. It is also the recommended entry-level compressor for operating Atlas sandblast cabinets using medium or medium-fine glass bead media, making it an excellent choice for shops requiring dependable, high-pressure compressed air.
