Expert Advice

Paul Jones says

This is a 10 hp, 270 litre, three‑phase, belt‑driven piston compressor suited to busy bodyshops and fabrication workshops where multiple air tools run all day. In practice it sits as a fixed plant unit feeding ring mains for DA sanders, spray guns, blow guns and general workshop pneumatics, typically at around 8–10 bar.

The main technical points I look at are free air delivery versus demand, and the electrical supply. This type of unit gives roughly 29 CFM FAD at 10 bar, which is fine for a couple of sanders and a gun, but it will struggle if you try to run the whole shop from it. It also needs a proper 400 V three‑phase supply, usually on a 32 A breaker with correct cable sizing and isolation.

Common issues I see are undersized airline systems, poor drainage and no allowance for aftercooling or dryers, leading to water in the lines. Set up correctly and maintained, this size of compressor is a solid, reliable workhorse for a professional workshop.

Technical Features

Cast iron twincylinder pump for consistent, highvolume air delivery suitable for demanding bodyshop and workshop applications.
10HP threephase 400V heavy duty industrial motor with overload protection for reliable continuous operation on a 32A supply.
Large 270litre static receiver providing good stored air capacity for spray booths, air tools, DA sanders and general workshop use.
Approximate 38.5 CFM displacement and around 29.5 CFM FAD, giving enough output for multiple air tools or continuoususe equipment.
Beltdriven layout with slowrunning pump speeds to reduce noise, lower pump stress and extend service life.
Integrated aftercooler to drop air temperature from the pump, improving moisture separation and protecting downstream equipment.
Aerodynamic flywheel design to aid compressor cooling and maintain stable running temperatures in busy workshops.
Automatic start/stop control on pressure switch for unattended operation and reduced energy waste when the receiver is charged.
Air receiver built and tested to the latest European pressure vessel standards, supporting safe use and compliance for professional sites.
Built and tested in Manchester, UK, with genuine Workhorse/Fiac parts, simplifying service, spares and longterm support.
Full factory engineer backup and conditional twoyear warranty when installed and maintained correctly, giving trade users confidence in longterm reliability.
Supplied prewired ready to install by a qualified electrician, helping minimise setup time in a new or existing workshop.
Suitable as a primary shop compressor for medium to large bodyshops, or as a dedicated supply for highdemand equipment such as shot blasting cabinets or multibay air tool lines.

FAQs

What kind of workshop is this compressor suited to?

It suits a busy bodyshop, garage or fabrication workshop that needs a proper 3-phase air supply for tools with steady demand. With a 270 litre receiver and around 29.5 CFM free air delivery, it is better for regular workshop use than light intermittent jobs.

Does it need three-phase power?

Yes. This model is a 400V, 3-phase belt-driven compressor, so it needs an appropriate three-phase supply and starter arrangement rather than standard 230V single-phase power.

What air output does it deliver?

The compressor is rated at 38.5 CFM displacement and 29.5 CFM free air delivery, with a maximum pressure of 10 bar. That makes it suitable for running multiple air tools, bodyshop equipment and general workshop tasks where a larger receiver helps maintain pressure.

What are the key build features?

It uses cast iron blocks, twin-cylinder pumps, aftercoolers, aerodynamic flywheels and automatic stop/start controls. The slow-running pump design is intended to keep noise down and improve service life, which is useful in a workshop that runs air equipment daily.
