Product Information

Full details

The POLLOR 100L Silent Oil-Free Air Compressor (PLC100BLA) is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts, home workshops, and garage users who require a high-capacity air source without excessive noise. Its key benefit is the combination of a large 100L capacity with an oil-free, quiet-running motor system, providing reliable performance for tasks like spray painting and pneumatic tool operation. A primary caveat is that, while it offers significant air volume, its sheer size and 100L tank capacity require adequate floor space and clear pathways for movement.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this compressor require oil?

No, the PLC100BLA features an oil-free pump design, meaning it requires no oil changes or lubricant maintenance.

What is the maximum pressure of this unit?

The maximum working pressure is 115 PSI (8 Bar).

Is this unit loud?

The compressor is specifically designed for 'silent' operation, significantly reducing noise output compared to traditional piston compressors.

Can I use this for spray painting?

Yes, it is suitable for spray painting. The integrated moisture trap helps ensure the air is clean and free of water, which is essential for a good paint finish.

How often should I drain the tank?

It is recommended to drain the tank after every use to prevent the accumulation of moisture and internal corrosion.

Troubleshooting

Compressor fails to start

Check the power supply and ensure the motor protection switch has not been triggered. Allow the motor to cool if it is hot.

Air pressure drops too quickly

Inspect all hose connections and fittings for air leaks using a soapy water solution; tighten or replace any leaking connectors.

Excessive moisture in the air line

Drain the tank thoroughly via the bottom drain valve and ensure the moisture trap filter is clean or replaced if saturated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally quiet operation compared to traditional compressors
  • Oil-free design significantly lowers ongoing maintenance requirements
  • Large 100L tank reduces cycling frequency
  • 13.6 CFM output supports a wide range of air-powered tools
  • Clean air output suitable for sensitive applications like spray painting

Cons

  • Large physical footprint requires significant storage space
  • Heavier unit weight makes it less portable than compact models
  • Limited to 115 PSI, which may not meet requirements for heavy industrial machinery

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the PLC100BLA, ensure it is placed on a level, stable surface to prevent vibration issues. Since it is oil-free, no oil checks are needed, but you must regularly drain the moisture from the tank using the drain valve located at the bottom of the vessel to prevent internal rust.

Compatibility: This unit utilizes standard air fittings; ensure your air hoses and tool couplings are rated for at least 115 PSI.

Care Instructions:

  1. Always drain the condensation from the tank after every use.
  2. Periodically clean the air intake filters to maintain optimal CFM performance.
  3. Check the power cord and motor housing for any debris that might block airflow.
  4. Store in a dry, temperature-controlled environment when not in use.
