Mi-T-M ACS Series 5 HP Industrial Two-Stage Compressors

Mi-T-M ACS Series 5 HP Industrial Two-Stage Compressors

Mi-T-M ACS Series 5 HP Industrial Two-Stage Compressors are heavy-duty, stationary powerhouses designed for dedicated commercial and industrial service. Engineered for automotive garages, production woodshops, fleet maintenance facilities, and small-to-medium manufacturing plants, these units deliver high-volume, reliable air pressure (18.0 CFM @ 175 PSI) built to withstand the demands of continuous daily operation.

By offering a choice between traditional Horizontal (H) or space-saving Vertical (V) configurations, alongside factory-upgraded Deluxe M-Series packages, Mi-T-M provides a premium 5 HP two-stage platform tailored to your shop’s layout and air-treatment requirements.

Understanding the Model Configurations

The model codes indicate the exact tank orientation, electrical infrastructure, and package tier required for your shop:

1. Tank Footprints: Horizontal vs. Vertical

• Horizontal Units (-80H / -80HM): Mounted to a low-profile, 80-gallon horizontal receiver tank. These are ideal for installations under heavy shelving, in low-clearance areas, or along maintenance bays where stability and a low center of gravity are preferred.
• Vertical Units (-80V / -80VM): Mounted to a space-saving 80-gallon vertical receiver tank. Perfect for facilities where floor space is at a premium, allowing the compressor to tuck neatly into corners or between workbenches while maintaining full access to controls.

2. Standard vs. Deluxe M-Series (Suffix “M”)

• Standard Models (-80H / -80V): Feature industrial pumps, motors, magnetic starters, and an 80-gallon ASME-coded tank.
• Deluxe M-Series (-80HM / -80VM): Factory-loaded with a premium air-treatment and component-protection package, including:
  • Air-Cooled Aftercooler: Drops the air temperature to within 10°F of ambient, removing up to 65% of moisture before it can ever enter the receiver tank.
  • Low Oil Sensor Indicator: Automatically prevents the unit from starting if lubricant falls below a safe level, protecting the crankshaft and cylinders from running dry.
  • Automatic Electronic Tank Drain: Programmed to automatically purge accumulated water from the bottom of the tank at set intervals, eliminating manual draining tasks.

Core Engineering & Performance Components

• 100% Cast-Iron Two-Stage Pump: Splash-lubricated with a durable cast-iron crankcase, cylinders, and heads. Precision-ground Swedish steel reed valves provide maximum volumetric efficiency and high thermal resistance under load.
• Industrial Low-RPM Motors: Equipped with high-torque, open drip-proof (ODP) industrial motors designed to run cooler, extend belt life, and lower ambient shop noise levels.
• Magnetic Starters: Standard across all models to provide complete thermal overload protection for the motor right out of the box.
• Vibration-Dampened Construction: Built on a heavy-gauge 3/16-inch steel base plate to eliminate harmonic vibration, minimizing wear on tank welds and stabilizing the entire platform.
• Premium Plumbing & Accoutrements: Features a flexible stainless-steel braided discharge hose for extreme heat and vibration resistance, a large canister intake filter/silencer, an integrated hour meter for easy maintenance tracking, and a clear oil level sight glass.
