Saylor-Beall VT-737--120-460/3-MS

Saylor-Beall VT-737–120-460/3-MS is a 5 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 18.5 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 460V/3-phase. The VT series uses splash lubrication and a simplex configuration, suited to intermittent industrial duty in auto shops, small fabrication cells, and maintenance facilities. At 5 HP with two-stage compression, the VT-737 achieves 175 PSI max with stable output at moderate cycle rates. The 120-gallon receiver reduces motor start frequency and supports multiple downstream tools simultaneously. The 460V three-phase power requirement targets commercial and light industrial facilities with three-phase service. List price approximately $7,680. Saylor-Beall is a Michigan-based manufacturer with a long history in cast-iron reciprocating pumps for industrial service. Key gaps: duty cycle percentage and weight not confirmed; no OEM datasheet URL available in current record.
