Silent oil-free compressor 12 L - 62 dB and 1 HP for finishing
Quiet oil-free compressor, 12 litres
The step between a briefcase-style compressor and a workshop one. It keeps the 62 dB of the 6-litre model but doubles the air tank, so it starts half as often and lets you work for longer without waiting for it to recover pressure.
Oil-free pump head and a slow 1,400 r.p.m. motor: clean air for paintwork and precision pneumatics, and no lubricant maintenance to keep up with.
✅ Main advantages
12 litres of reserve: twice the autonomy of a 6-litre unit at the same noise level.
62 dB: suitable for indoors, homes and premises with the public present.
Oil-free: clean air and no crankcase maintenance.
115 L/min at 8 bar for finishing tools.
Low-speed motor that runs cooler and lasts longer.
🏗️ What it is used for
Carpentry and assembly with nailers and staplers.
Airbrushing, varnishing and paint touch-ups.
Upholstery and interior finishing work.
Inflating, blowing and cleaning parts.
📋 Technical specifications
Power: 1 HP
Maximum pressure: 8 bar
Flow rate: 115 L/min
Speed: 1,400 r.p.m.
Air tank capacity: 12 litres
Noise level: 62 dB
Lubrication: oil-free
💡 Professional tip: the most common mistake with small compressors is choking them with a thin, long hose. A 6 mm rubber hose of 20 metres loses more than a bar to friction: with 115 L/min available, that is noticeable. Use a hose with an 8 or 10 mm bore and your tool will perform as if you had a larger compressor.
Frequently asked questions
What is the advantage of this 12-litre model over a 6-litre one?
It keeps the 62 dB but doubles the tank to 12 litres, so the motor starts less often and recovers pressure less frequently during continuous work.
Is it very noisy?
Its noise level is 62 dB, with a slow 1,400 r.p.m. motor. It is suitable for indoors, homes and premises with the public present.
Does it need oil?
No. It is an oil-free compressor with clean air for paintwork and precision pneumatics, and no lubricant maintenance.
What can I connect to this compressor?
With 115 L/min at 8 bar it is suitable for nailers and staplers, airbrushing and varnishing, upholstery, inflating and blowing. For continuous-consumption tools you would need a model with a higher flow rate.
How do I get more performance from 115 L/min?
Use a hose with an 8 or 10 mm internal diameter: a thin, long hose causes pressure loss through friction and the tool performs less well.
