Belt compressor 100 L - 3 HP and 320 L/min at 10 bar
The benchmark workshop compressor: 100-litre tank, 3 HP and 10 bar with belt drive, running from a standard 230 V socket.
The 10 bar matters more than it seems. Between the pressure drop in the hose, the filter regulator and the margin the pressure switch needs to avoid constant restarting, if the compressor only reaches 8 bar you end up working at 5.5 bar at the nozzle. Starting from 10 bar gives you headroom for the entire installation.
✅ Key benefits
10 bar pressure: real headroom for a long hose and several outlets.
Belt drive: designed to work every day.
100-litre reserve: long cycles, rested motor.
320 L/min of sustained air delivery.
Single-phase 230 V: no three-phase installation required.
🏗️ What it is for
Fixed air installation in a workshop or small industrial unit.
Impact tools, ratchets and blowers.
Spray painting and bodywork.
Professional carpentry and light industrial assembly.

💡 Pro tip: do not bolt the compressor rigidly to the floor thinking it will vibrate less. With the feet bolted to concrete, the vibration is transmitted throughout the building and the tank welds suffer fatigue. Fit rubber anti-vibration mounts and leave the unit free-standing: it lasts longer and is quieter.
Frequently asked questions
Why does the 10 bar maximum pressure matter?
Because some of the pressure is lost in the hose, the filter regulator and the pressure switch margin. With 10 bar you have headroom to maintain a useful pressure at the tool, with 3 HP and 320 L/min.
Does it work from a standard socket?
Yes, it is a 230 V single-phase unit and does not require a three-phase installation. As it is a 3 HP unit, check the circuit and protective devices with an electrician.
How should I position it to reduce vibration?
Stand it on rubber anti-vibration mounts rather than bolting the feet rigidly to the floor. The data sheet recommends this so that vibration is not transmitted to the building and does not fatigue the tank welds. Place it in a well-ventilated, level location.
What workshop jobs is this unit suitable for?
With a 100-litre reserve and 320 L/min it is suitable for impact tools, ratchets, blowers and spray painting in a workshop or small industrial unit. If several outlets are in use at the same time, add up their consumption.
How often should I drain the tank?
Condensate builds up when air is compressed, so it should be drained regularly, daily under heavy use. Check the pump head oil according to the manufacturer's manual.
