California Air Tools 60040DCAD Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free Air Compressor

CALIFORNIA AIR TOOLS 60040DCAD Ultra Quiet & Oil-Free Air Compressor with Air Drying System

Engineered for serious shop performance without the noise, this 4.0 HP ultra-quiet compressor powers through demanding tasks while delivering clean, dry air. With a robust 60 gallon steel ASME tank and a advanced oil-free dual-piston pump, it’s built to run longer between maintenance cycles and sustain consistent output across a range of applications.

Powerful, reliable performance

• 4.0 HP (rated/running) dual motors: two 2.0 HP SP-9421-22060 units spinning at 1680 RPM for reduced noise and wear
• 12.80 CFM at 40 PSI and 10.60 CFM at 90 PSI to support multiple tools and simultaneous operations
• Oil-free dual-piston pump designed for durability and easy maintenance, with a life cycle > 3000 hours
• Ultra-quiet operation: only 75 decibels, making it suitable for noise-sensitive environments

Air drying system for cleaner, drier air

The integrated air drying system combines an aftercooler and a dryer to dramatically reduce moisture. The aftercooler cools discharge air, causing water vapor to condense and be directed into the Air Dryer. The Activated Alumina desiccant (4000 hour life) adsorbs moisture and sulfur compounds, delivering dryer air to protect sensitive tools and machinery and extend tool life. A dedicated air dryer helps ensure consistent performance in varying temperatures and conditions.

EZ-1 Automatic Drain Valve for hassle-free maintenance

Say goodbye to manual tank draining. The EZ-1 Automatic Drain Valve is designed to automatically drain the tank on a programmable schedule, reducing moisture buildup and maintenance time. The manual timer lets you set both the frequency and duration of drainage to fit your workflow.

Smart design for shop and garage use

• 60 gallon steel ASME air tank with generous reserve for continuous tooling
• 125 PSI maximum pressure for versatile tool compatibility
• Two pressure gauges, 3/8" air hose port, and 3/8" ports for hoses and accessories
• Low amp draw: 14 amps at 220V / 60 Hz / single phase
• Time to fill tank from empty to full: ~6 minutes 30 seconds; recovery from 95 PSI to 125 PSI in ~2 minutes
• Duty cycle: 70/30, with maximum continuous operation typically 30–60 minutes depending on PSI and CFM
• Compact consideration: dimensions of 25.5" L x 29" W/D x 66.5" H and weight 248 lbs for a solid footprint in a shop corner

What makes it stand out

• Oil-free design delivers cleaner air and reduces maintenance compared to oil-lubricated pumps
• Ultra-quiet operation enables collaboration and productivity without the fatigue of loud noisework environments
• Integrated air drying system with long-life desiccant ensures dry air for sensitive tools and finishes
• EZ-1 automatic drain valve minimizes routine upkeep while maintaining optimal moisture control
• Durable 60 gallon tank and robust dual-motor configuration provide extended run times and steady performance
