Built For

This compressor is suitable for powering a range of pneumatic tools including impact wrenches, grinders, sanders, spray guns, and other air-driven equipment. Its 150-litre tank and 10.6 FAD at 100 psi support continuous operation in automotive repair, fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and general industrial maintenance where a consistent air supply is critical.

Construction

The unit features a substantial horizontal receiver tank, finished in a medium to dark teal, providing a stable base. The compressor head assembly and motor housing are also finished in a matching teal. The motor is mounted directly above the tank, driving the pump via a visible belt and pulley system. The pulleys appear to be cast metal, likely iron or aluminum, with a natural metallic finish. The belt is a standard V-belt type, typically rubber or synthetic. A pressure gauge is prominently mounted on the manifold for direct pressure monitoring. The overall construction emphasizes durability and industrial application, with visible welds and heavy-gauge steel components for the tank and frame.
