Silent Air™ Noise Reduction & Filtration
EMAX Silent Air™ technology targets noise generated at the compressor air intake. The patented silencer channels incoming air through baffle plates and high-capacity filter media. EMAX advertises up to 50% quieter operation for its Silent Air technology; actual noise reduction varies with installation and operating conditions.

Cast-Iron Splash-Lubricated Pump
This compressor uses a splash-lubricated, cast-iron piston pump. During operation, internal rod dippers distribute oil to moving pump components. Maintaining the proper oil level and using manufacturer-recommended lubricant are important for dependable service. This is distinct from the pressure-lubricated pump architecture used in certain higher-series EMAX compressors.
Heavy-Duty V-Belt Drive
The dual V-belt drive transfers power from the electric motor to the compressor pump. Multiple belts help distribute drive loading while leaving the belts and other service points accessible for inspection, adjustment and replacement.
