The Matair AIR3000 is a 24-liter, oil-free silent compressor designed specifically for environments where noise control and air purity are essential. It is a popular "DIY entry-level" unit, but its oil-less design also makes it suitable for specialized industries like medical, dental, and food and beverage, where oil contamination must be avoided.
Technical Specifications
- Tank Capacity: 24 Liters
- Motor Power: 0.75 kW (1.0 HP)
- Noise Level: 66 dB (roughly the volume of a normal conversation)
- Maximum Pressure: 8 Bar (115 PSI)
- Air Displacement: 128 L/min (4.6 CFM)
- Voltage: 220V / Single Phase
- Weight: Approximately 22 kg – 25 kg
Key Features
- Silent Operation: At 66 dB, it is significantly quieter than traditional direct-drive compressors (which often exceed 85 dB), making it ideal for indoor workshops, garages, or home use.
- Oil-Free Design: Since it requires no oil for lubrication, the air output is "clean" and free from oil mist. This also eliminates the need for messy oil changes and reduces overall maintenance.
- Motor Protection: Equipped with an overload protection system and a manual reset button to prevent the motor from burning out during heavy use.
- Portability: Designed with wheels and a vibration-damping foot to ensure stability while remaining easy to move around your workspace.
- Complete Controls: Includes an On/Off pressure switch, a pressure regulator with easy-to-read gauges, and a drain cock for removing moisture buildup from the tank.
Important Usage Tips
- Ventilation: Despite being "low maintenance," the motor can generate heat. Ensure the compressor is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent the thermal cut-off from triggering.
- Drain Regularly: Like all compressors, moisture collects in the tank. Use the drain cock at the bottom of the tank after every use to prevent internal corrosion and maintain air quality.
- Duty Cycle: As a DIY-class machine, it is best suited for intermittent tasks (inflating tires, light air brushing, stapling, or blowing) rather than continuous industrial-scale pneumatic tool use.
