When a quiet 1.5 HP compressor falls short, the answer is not a bigger tank: it is more flow. This unit has two twin-cylinder pump heads working in parallel and delivering 300 L/min, double that of a conventional quiet compressor, without exceeding 65 dB.
Sharing the work between two pump heads has a direct consequence: each one works half as hard, runs cooler and lasts longer. And being oil-free, the air comes out clean for paintwork and precision pneumatics without additional filters.
✅ Main advantages
300 L/min at 8 bar: flow for tools with sustained consumption.
Two twin-cylinder pump heads: less load per head, lower temperature, longer life.
65 dB: workshop power without workshop noise.
Oil-free: clean air from the outset and no crankcase maintenance.
50 litres on wheels to move it around the premises.
🏗️ What it is used for
Spray painting where continuous air is needed.
Mechanical workshop: impact wrenches, ratchets and blowing.
Carpentry with several nailers at once.
Workshops open to the public where noise is a drawback.

💡 Professional tip: with two pump heads, the electrical draw at start-up is high. Check that your supply can cope: 2.8 HP on a single-phase supply calls for a generously rated RCD and circuit breaker and, above all, no thin extension leads. A 25-metre cable of 1.5 mm² causes voltage drops that trip the motor's thermal protection and end up burning it out.
Frequently asked questions
What do the two twin-cylinder pump heads offer?
They share the work between two pump heads running in parallel, so each one works less hard and runs cooler. They deliver 300 L/min at 8 bar.
How much noise does it make?
It runs at 65 dB, a level designed for workshops open to the public where noise is a drawback.
Does it need oil?
No, it is an oil-free compressor: the air comes out clean for paintwork and precision pneumatics, and there is no crankcase maintenance.
Which tools can I use?
Spray painting with continuous air, impact wrenches and ratchets, blowing and several nailers at once in carpentry.
What should I choose if the 1.5 HP model falls short?
The answer is not a bigger tank but more flow. This model delivers 300 L/min, compared with the 150 L/min of the 1.5 HP models, with the same 50-litre tank.
