Description

The MaxAir 90 SE-FD 5K is a fully automatic, electric-driven stationary SCBA breathing air compressor — the most user-friendly fill system available today for small to medium fire departments, fire brigades, and dive centers. It delivers 10.8 SCFM (18.4 m³/hr) at up to 5000 PSI (345 bar), available in single-phase or three-phase electric configurations.

Built for Fire Department Breathing Air Compressor Needs

The Max-Air 90SE-FD5000 is a continuous-duty unit capable of filling 5000 PSI cascade systems or directly refilling 4500 PSI SCBA cylinders — giving fire departments and dive centers the flexibility to run both from a single compressor. It is fully automatic, designed for years of trouble-free service with minimal maintenance, and priced to compete with anything on the market. Whether you run a small fire brigade or a busy dive center, this is the fill system built for your operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can it fill both cascade systems and SCBA cylinders directly?
Yes. The SE-FD 5K fills 5000 PSI cascade systems and directly refills 4500 PSI SCBA cylinders — giving fire departments the flexibility to run both from one compressor.

Is it fully automatic?
Yes. It is designed for fully automatic, hands-off operation with minimal maintenance, making it ideal for busy fire stations and dive centers where staff time is limited.

What size operation is it designed for?
Small to medium fire departments, fire brigades, and dive centers. If you need to fill for a larger operation, contact Max-Air to discuss higher-capacity options.

What electric configurations are available?
Single-phase or three-phase — contact Max-Air to confirm which configuration fits your facility’s power supply.
