Atlas® AF5 — 5 HP Air Compressor
A lot of shops start with a compressor sized for “most of the time” instead of “all of the time” — fine until two techs grab impact wrenches in the same ten minutes and the tank drains faster than the motor can refill it.
The Atlas® AF5 is a light-commercial 1-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 5 HP with a 60 gallon vertical tank, built for shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day without paying for accessories they don’t need.
Who the AF5 Is Built For
- ✅ Light commercial shops and serious home garages that run pneumatic tools intermittently rather than all day, every day
- ✅ Shops that want to step up from a portable 20-gallon unit to a 220V system with real tank capacity, without paying commercial-tier prices
- ✅ General maintenance work — tire equipment, impact tools, spray guns — where the compressor isn't the bottleneck of the shop
- ✅ An entry-level sandblast cabinet run for short stretches, understanding this isn't built for continuous high-demand blasting
- ✅ A single-bay or two-bay operation where one compressor covers the whole shop without multiple techs drawing air simultaneously
- ✅ Buyers who already have a 220V single-phase line run and want more headroom than a 110V portable offers
What the AF5 Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Multi-tech shops running several tools at once at higher pressure — the AF5's single-stage pump and 90–125 PSI range tops out where the 2-stage AF6/AF7 begin
- ❌ Continuous sandblasting or paint booth operations — the AF5 can run these briefly, not all day
- ❌ Shops that need the higher 145–175 PSI range for extended-reach pneumatic tools — see the AF6 or AF7 instead
What Makes the AF5 Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The AF5 uses a 3-Cylinder, 1-Stage Cast Iron pump built for daily, all-day duty cycles — not a hobby-grade single-stage unit that struggles under continuous shop use.
CFM & Pressure Output
Delivers 18.0 CFM @ 90 PSI and holds pressure across a 90–125 PSI range, enough headroom to run impact wrenches, tire equipment, and paint tools without the tank running dry.
Plus Package Upgrades
standard AF5, no Plus Package accessories.
Power Requirements
220V, 1-Phase, 30 Amp Breaker, #10 Wire Required. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- Light commercial / serious home garage use
- Intermittent tool use, not all-day duty
- Stepping up from a portable unit
- Multi-tech, all-day commercial shops
- Continuous sandblasting/paint booth work
AF5 vs. FS-Curtis CA5+ (5 HP, 80 Gal Vertical) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | AF5 | FS-Curtis CA5+ (5 HP, 80 Gal Vertical) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 5 HP / 60 Gal Vertical | 5 HP / 80 Gal Vertical |
| Pump stages | 1-Stage | 2-Stage (E57 pump) |
| Pressure range | 90–125 PSI | Up to 175 PSI |
| Best fit | Light-commercial, intermittent shop use | Daily commercial duty, higher-pressure tools |
Choose the AF5 for a lower price point and light-commercial, intermittent use. Choose the FS-Curtis CA5+ when you need 2-stage reliability and higher sustained pressure. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
