Product Information

Full details

The POLLOR PLC100RED 100L Silent Air Compressor is an ideal tool for professional workshops and advanced DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, consistent air supply for pneumatic tools, spray painting, and general maintenance. Its primary strength lies in its oil-free, silent motor design which provides high-capacity 13.6 CFM airflow without the constant maintenance associated with oil-lubricated models. However, users should note that the large 100L tank capacity means it requires a dedicated storage area and may take longer to reach maximum pressure compared to smaller, high-pressure portable units.

Do I need to add oil to this compressor?

No, this is an oil-free model. It requires no lubrication, which keeps your air output clean and maintenance simple.

Can I use this for spray painting?

Yes, the oil-free design is perfect for spray painting as it prevents oil from contaminating your paint finish.

How noisy is the compressor?

This model is designed for silent operation, making it significantly quieter than traditional reciprocating air compressors.

What is the maximum pressure rating?

The compressor operates at a consistent 115 PSI (8 Bar).

How often should I drain the tank?

You should drain the tank after every use to prevent water buildup and internal rust.

Can I run two tools at once?

Troubleshooting

Motor runs but tank does not build pressure

Check that the tank drain valve is fully closed and inspect the air hoses for leaks or loose connections.

Unit stops working during operation

The thermal overload protection may have tripped. Allow the motor to cool for 15-20 minutes and check that the unit is not connected to an overloaded power strip.

Excessive moisture in air lines

Ensure you are draining the tank regularly and verify that the integrated moisture trap filter is clean or needs replacing.
