BelAire 338HE Air Compressor – 10HP Horizontal

BelAire 338HE Air Compressor: Elite Series 5-HP 3-Phase Industrial Powerhouse

The BelAire 338HE Air Compressor is a premium, full-featured industrial solution designed for high-demand automotive shops, woodworking facilities, and small manufacturing plants. As a cornerstone of the Elite Series, this 5-HP 3-phase horizontal system comes pre-configured with a complete suite of performance-enhancing accessories factory-mounted on a rugged 80-gallon ASME receiver. Investing in the 338HE through our platform guarantees a ready-to-work pneumatic infrastructure that eliminates the hidden costs of field installations, providing superior air quality and pump protection from the moment of startup.

At its technical core, the 338HE utilizes the high-performance T39 two-stage pump, delivering a reliable 18.6 CFM at 100 PSI and 16.6 CFM at 175 PSI. As a top-tier choice in our stationary industrial air compressor collection, this unit is engineered with a solid cast iron cylinder and aluminum heads for optimal heat dissipation. The Elite package upgrades the standard build with an integrated aftercooler and an automatic tank drain, ensuring that the air delivered is both cooler and drier, which significantly extends the lifespan of your downstream pneumatic tools and piping.

“The 338HE is a true ‘set it and forget it’ machine. Having the automatic drain and low oil switch built-in gives us total peace of mind in a busy shop environment. The 16.6 CFM at 175 PSI is rock-solid for our impact tools and tire machines, and it runs much cooler than our old single-stage unit.”

Advanced Durability & Lifecycle Architecture

The BelAire 338HE is engineered for 100% continuous duty cycles through a combination of thermal management and automated maintenance features:

• Solid Cast Iron Cylinders: Provides the structural rigidity required for high-pressure compression while resisting thermal expansion and wear.
• Triple-Pass Aftercooler: Reduces the temperature of discharge air significantly, causing moisture to drop out of the air stream before it enters the tank.
• Automatic Tank Drain: Removes condensate automatically, preventing internal tank corrosion and ensuring your air storage volume isn’t displaced by water buildup.
• Low Oil Level Switch: A critical safety feature that prevents the pump from operating if the lubricant level drops, protecting against catastrophic seizure.
• Magnetic Starter: Provides essential thermal overload protection for the motor, guarding against voltage fluctuations and phase loss.

Operational Impact: Tool Compatibility & Application

The BelAire 338HE is the ideal air source for professional environments requiring consistent pressure:

• Automotive Repair: Easily powers multiple 1/2-inch Impact Wrenches, tire changers, and pneumatic lifts simultaneously.
• Body Shops: Provides the clean, cool air needed for LVLP Paint Guns and dual-action sanders.
• General Maintenance: Perfect for Pneumatic Greasers, air blow-off stations, and small-scale sandblasting cabinets.
