3 HP single-phase screw compressor with 90 L air tank - 230 V
3 HP single-phase screw compressor with 90-litre air tank
The advantages of a screw compressor —continuous operation, low noise and steady air— without needing a three-phase supply: this model runs on 230 V single-phase, so it plugs in at any workshop.
It delivers 261 L/min at 10 bar mounted on a 90-litre air tank, with an IE3 motor, direct drive and a sound level of just 65 dB.
✅ Key advantages
230 V single-phase: no three-phase supply needed to move up to a screw compressor.
Continuous duty: none of the forced rest periods of a piston compressor.
90 L air tank: reserve for consumption peaks, all in a single unit.
65 dB: quieter than a piston compressor with a similar air flow.
IE3 motor: high efficiency and lower power consumption.
🏗️ What it is for
Small workshops and garages with constant air consumption.
Painting, blowing and air tools throughout the working day.
Premises without a three-phase power supply.

💡 Pro tip: a 3 HP single-phase motor draws quite a lot of current at start-up: connect it to a dedicated line with its own circuit breaker and avoid long or thin extension leads. It will start more easily and you will protect the motor.
FAQ
Does it work with a standard 230 V socket?
Yes, it is a 230 V single-phase unit. Given the motor power, we recommend a dedicated line with its own protection.
What air flow does it deliver?
261 L/min at 10 bar, enough for painting, blowing and medium-consumption air tools in continuous use.
Does it have an air tank?
Yes, it is mounted on a 90-litre air tank.
Is it quiet?
It runs at around 65 dB(A), considerably less than an equivalent piston compressor.
Does it include a dryer?
No. If you need dry air for painting, add a separator filter or a dryer at the outlet.
