When it comes to reliable oxygen generation in industrial and commercial settings, the Max Pro Series sets the standard with its lineup of MAX-5, MAX-8, and MAX-10 models. At the core of this series is the MAX-5—a compact, self-contained oxygen generator engineered for high efficiency, durability, and purity.
Compact Design, Maximum Performance
The MAX-5 delivers 10.5 SCFH of oxygen at 7.5 PSI, producing up to 95% concentrated O2—ideal for applications requiring consistent and high-purity oxygen. Housed in a lightweight aluminum enclosure, this unit is designed with practicality in mind. Removable side panels make servicing straightforward, while cabinet and compressor inlet filters ensure environmental debris never interferes with performance.
With an integrated moisture separator, the MAX-5 effectively removes water vapor before it enters the sieve beds. This not only improves oxygen purity but significantly extends the life of internal components. A smart dual-fan system under the compressor helps regulate internal temperature, making it ideal even in warmer environments (up to 112°F or 44°C).
Built-In Intelligence
One of the standout features of the MAX-5 is its built-in oxygen purity sensor. If oxygen levels drop below 85%, the system activates an alert, ensuring that users are immediately informed of any potential issues. This adds a layer of operational safety and confidence, especially for critical applications.

How It Works: Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)
The heart of the MAX-5 lies in its use of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. Clean, dry compressed air enters a molecular sieve bed that separates nitrogen from oxygen. As nitrogen is adsorbed, oxygen flows through. When one bed becomes saturated, the system switches to a second bed, venting nitrogen and maintaining a continuous flow of oxygen.
This seamless, alternating cycle ensures uninterrupted oxygen delivery with minimal maintenance, making the MAX-5 a smart, scalable solution for many operations.
Final Thoughts
Whether you’re managing a manufacturing floor, running an aquaponics system, or feeding an ozone generator, the MAX-5 offers unmatched reliability in a compact footprint. As part of the Max Pro Series, it’s built to scale with your needs—offering advanced performance today and room to grow tomorrow.
