Quiet 5.5 HP Single-Phase VSD Rotary Screw Compressor for Garages and Small Shops
The AERO-COMPRESSOR PM5.5 is a 5.5 HP single-phase permanent magnet VSD rotary screw compressor designed for serious DIY users, home garages, small workshops, and light commercial shops that need more reliable air than a traditional piston compressor — without requiring 3-phase electrical service. With 18 CFM at 100 PSI, 15.9 CFM at 145 PSI, a built-in 42-gallon ASME air tank, and 220V single-phase power, this compressor delivers professional-style compressed air performance on standard shop electrical service.
Unlike loud reciprocating compressors that constantly cycle on and off, the PM5.5 uses a direct-drive rotary screw airend and a permanent magnet VSD motor for smoother, quieter, and more efficient operation. Variable speed drive technology automatically matches output to real-time air demand. At only 65 dB(A), it is a strong choice for garages and small shops where noise matters. It is ideal for air tools, tire inflation, blow guns, small sanding work, light fabrication, maintenance tasks, and general compressed air use.
The MAM6080 touchscreen controller gives users simple access to pressure, temperature, operating status, alarms, maintenance information, WiFi connectivity, and real-time monitoring. With an oil-cooled direct-drive design, IP65 protection rating, 100% continuous-duty capability, and an ASME-certified air receiver, the AERO-COMPRESSOR PM5.5 is built for users who want a compact compressor system with industrial-grade features.
