Cast-iron workhorse reciprocating compressors, simplex to duplex.
Built iron. Built to last.
BelAire Compressors has built US-assembled cast-iron reciprocating air compressors for nearly four decades. The brand sits inside the Atlas Copco group — the same parent that owns Quincy Compressor — and SPC carries the full line as a direct, authorized account, covering compressors and parts with a single point of contact for quoting, lead time, and after-sale support.
The Iron Series is BelAire's core: all-cast-iron two-stage pumps at slow RPM on ASME-certified vertical and horizontal tanks, rated to 175 PSI, from 5 HP simplex to 20 HP duplex. It is the value-tier cast-iron workhorse — rebuyable, backed by a two-year bumper-to-bumper factory warranty on two-stage units, and priced to close quotes where premium-brand pricing is the objection.
SPC carries BelAire as a direct, authorized account — compressors and parts, no separate distributor relationship required.
When a customer needs proven two-stage cast-iron construction and the Quincy price is the objection, BelAire closes the quote.
From a 5 HP simplex for a single-station shop to a 20 HP duplex for a continuous-duty floor, the Iron Series covers the reciprocating range SPC's industrial customers ask for.
General Manufacturing → Reliable plant air for pneumatic tooling, blow-off, and process lines on shop floors that run air continuously.
Metalworking & Fabrication → Two-stage cast-iron construction handles the high-duty-cycle demands of grinding, blasting, and sandblasting stations.
Automotive Manufacturing → Simplex and duplex coverage for spray booths, lift controls, and pneumatic assembly tooling.
Woodworking & Furniture → Consistent 175 PSI supply for finishing guns, pin nailers, and CNC router vacuum — duplex keeps duty cycle from being the bottleneck.
Construction & Infrastructure → Stationary cast-iron units for prefab shops and job-site compressor rooms needing dependable reciprocating air.
Agriculture & Food Production → ASME-certified tanks and factory-tested safety valves support bulk-handling and processing applications where reliability matters more than the nameplate brand. Intermittent single-shift work fits a simplex Iron Series unit at the right HP. Continuous or two-shift operation — or any application where one pump failure stops the floor — calls for a duplex: two pumps on one receiver, alternating, so the system keeps running if one motor needs service.
Match CFM demand at 100 PSI. BelAire simplex units deliver roughly 15–24 CFM in the 5–10 HP range. Duplex units (2 x 5 HP to 2 x 10 HP) stack CFM to 20–46 CFM at 100 PSI. When in doubt, size up — a compressor running at 70% capacity lasts far longer than one cycling at the limit.
60–80 gallon vertical tanks cover most single-station shop applications. 120–200 gallon duplex receivers suit multiple-drop systems or blast rooms. Single-phase (208–230V) covers most shop panels; three-phase (208–230V or 460V) is available for duplex units where the panel supports it.
Both are cast-iron two-stage lines SPC carries as a direct, authorized account. Quincy QR-25 carries pressure lubrication, slower pump speeds, and a five-year warranty — the rebuildable spec engineers ask for by name. BelAire Iron Series delivers comparable workhorse construction at a lower price point with a two-year warranty. Choose by budget and how long the customer expects to hold the machine.
