Belt compressor 100 L - 3 HP and 336 L/min with V-head
100-litre belt-driven compressor with V-twin head
It runs at 1,100 r.p.m., the lowest speed in the whole single-phase range. That figure is what really determines a compressor's service life: fewer revolutions mean less friction, less heat and a pump head that can work for fifteen years without problems.
It combines belt transmission with a V-twin head and a 100-litre air tank. It is the classic fixed workshop compressor configuration: plenty of reserve, a steady flow of 336 L/min and operation from a 230 V socket, with no need for a three-phase supply.
✅ Main advantages
Only 1,100 r.p.m.: the lowest speed in the single-phase range, the one that lasts longest.
Lubricated, repairable V-twin head.
100-litre air tank: long, well-spaced cycles.
336 L/min sustained for several air outlets.
Single-phase: workshop power without any special electrical installation.
🏗️ What it is for
Fixed air installation in a mechanics or bodywork workshop.
Prolonged daily use with pneumatic tools.
Spray painting and finishing work.
Carpentry, assembly and industrial maintenance.
📋 Technical specifications

💡 Professional tip: check the belt tension every six months. Pressed with a finger at the midpoint between the pulleys, it should give by roughly one centimetre: if it slips you lose flow without noticing and the belt glazes; if it is too tight you ruin the motor bearings. It is a one-minute job and hardly anyone does it.
Frequently asked questions
Does this compressor need a three-phase supply?
No. It is single-phase at 230 V and runs from a 230 V socket. As the motor is 3 HP, a line with suitable protection is advisable; check with your electrician.
What is the advantage of it running at 1,100 r.p.m.?
According to the specification sheet, it is the lowest speed in the single-phase range. Fewer revolutions mean less friction and less heat in the V-twin head, which is lubricated and repairable.
Is it suitable for a mechanics or carpentry workshop?
Yes. It delivers 336 L/min with a 100-litre air tank and belt transmission, designed for daily use. It powers impact wrenches, sanders or a spray gun; if several workstations operate at once, add up their consumption.
What basic maintenance does it need?
Check the belt tension every six months: at the midpoint between the pulleys it should give by roughly one centimetre. As the head is lubricated, check the oil level and change it according to the manufacturer's manual.
How should I install it?
In a ventilated place on level ground. It is better to rest it on rubber anti-vibration pads than to anchor it rigidly. Drain the condensate from the air tank regularly.
