EL-AV NEO7 Series 7 HP iPM Variable-Speed Rotary Screw Air Compressor (208-230V/1- or 3-Phase)

The EL-AV NEO7 is a compact 7 HP variable-speed rotary screw air compressor with a direct-drive airend and an IP65 permanent-magnet motor. It delivers 14 – 24 CFM at 116 PSI (12 – 21 CFM at 145 PSI) from 208–230V single-phase or three-phase power, in a 30 × 23 × 30 in cabinet that runs at 65 dB(A).

The drive matches motor speed to air demand across a 25%–100% RPM range, so the CFM figure is a range, not a fixed rating, and the compressor is not burning power to make air the plant is not using. It runs on 208–230V single-phase or three-phase power in the same machine, and the CFM range is the same on either. EL-AV Compressors USA Corp. assembles the NEO Series in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

What EL-AV Recommends to Pair With the NEO7

EL-AV's own team gave us these pairings for this model:

• Receiver tank: 60 gallons or larger. Because the compressor is variable-speed, you can use a smaller receiver than you would with a fixed-speed machine. Browse air receiver tanks.
• Dryer: the EL-AV ELRD40-U refrigerated air dryer (40 CFM). EL-AV sizes the dryer a little above the compressor's maximum flow (24 CFM here) to cover hot or humid ambient conditions.

Why the NEO Series

• Direct drive: no gears or couplings between motor and airend, so less power lost and fewer parts to wear.
• IP65 permanent-magnet motor: IE4 high-efficiency, dust- and water-jet-protected, and compact.
• Stainless steel rotors: a high-efficiency rotor profile designed for heavy-duty use.
• Galvanized steel tubing: durable internal piping to reduce leaks and downtime.
• Built for continuous duty: an active, heavy-duty cooling system for demanding conditions.
• Easy maintenance: the internal layout gives fast, convenient access for routine service.

Warranty and Service

• 1-year full ("bumper-to-bumper") warranty, plus 3 years on all major components when maintenance is done on time.
• The controller monitors service intervals and alerts you when maintenance is due.
• Routine maintenance is changing the oil, oil filter, air filter and oil separator.
• EL-AV also offers a 5-year warranty program that requires oil sampling every 6 months or 4,000 hours. Ask us if you want it included in your quote.

NEO7 — Detailed Specifications

CFM and l/min figures are ranges because the compressor is variable-speed. The CFM range is the same for single-phase and three-phase operation.
