Atlas® AF7 5HP 80 Gal Vert Air Compressor w/Mag Starter #ATEMPAF7-FPD

Atlas® AF7 — 5 HP, Low RPM Air Compressor

An 80-gallon tank only solves half the problem if the compressor still needs a tech to walk over and flip a switch every time it kicks on. Shops running multiple bays need the motor to start and stop itself without someone babysitting it.

The Atlas® AF7 is a commercial 2-stage reciprocating (magnetic starter included) compressor rated for 5 HP, Low RPM with an 80 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 AF7 Is Built For

• ✅ Full-service automotive shops that want the same 2-stage 80-gallon performance as the AF6, but with the magnetic starter already built in for simpler, safer setup
• ✅ Shop owners who'd rather pay a bit more upfront for the motor-protection and longevity benefits of a magnetic starter than deal with sourcing and wiring one separately
• ✅ Shops running tire equipment, pneumatic tools, and sandblast cabinets that need consistent 145–175 PSI output for longer duty cycles than a single-stage unit allows
• ✅ Buyers who want easier installation than the no-starter AF6 — the included starter regulates electrical input and reduces the setup burden on your electrician
• ✅ Operations that value extended equipment lifespan — the magnetic starter protects the motor from voltage spikes and extends its service life
• ✅ Shops that plan to keep this compressor running for years and want the electrical protection built in rather than retrofitted

What the AF7 Is NOT Built For

• ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who already have starter infrastructure in place — the no-starter AF6 covers the same core specs for less money
• ❌ Shops needing higher CFM than 18.5 at 145 PSI for heavier multi-tool draw — look at the 7.5HP AF9 instead
• ❌ Operations planning to run 3-phase power — the AF7 is a single-phase unit; see the AF10 for 3-phase options

What Makes the AF7 Different

Commercial 2-Stage Pump

The AF7 uses a 3-Cylinder, 2-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 18.5 CFM @ 145 PSI and holds pressure across a 145–175 PSI range, enough headroom to run impact wrenches, tire equipment, and paint tools without the tank running dry.

Plus Package Upgrades

magnetic starter included as standard, no additional 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.
