VT-720-80

The Saylor-Beall VT-720-80 is a 2-horsepower two-stage reciprocating air compressor mounted on an 80-gallon vertical ASME tank. It delivers 7.5 CFM at 175 PSI using the company’s 705 cast-iron pump, splash-lubricated and belt-driven from the motor with a totally enclosed guard. The unit runs at roughly 685 RPM, well below most consumer compressors, which extends pump life and keeps operating temperatures down. Standard configurations cover 115V and 230V single-phase as well as 200-230V and 460V three-phase, with magnetic starter and aftercooler available as factory options. The compressor is built in St. Johns, Michigan, and ships with a centrifugal unloader for loadless starting and a tank pressure gauge. Recommended oil is 30-weight non-detergent changed every 500 hours of run-time. Saylor-Beall positions the VT-720 series as light-industrial duty for body shops, small fabrication shops, and farm work where a continuous-duty pump matters more than peak airflow. The cast-iron 705 pump is the same component used across the 700 family, so spare parts and rebuild kits remain widely available.
