Air Compressor Adler AD400-100-3 100 l tank 230V, oil-lubricated, single-phase

The Adler AD400-100-3 is a 230V single-phase air compressor with a 100-litre receiver intended for workshop and garage use. Its oil-lubricated pump provides consistent pressure delivery and contributes to longer component life, while the 100 l tank supplies a steady air reserve for intermittent or continuous pneumatic tasks. The unit includes standard safety and control elements for safe, everyday operation in small professional or hobbyist environments.

Advantages

The oil-lubricated design ensures stable pressure output and reduced wear on moving parts, which extends service intervals and component lifespan. A 100-litre receiver balances portability with sufficient stored volume for tasks such as painting or operating air tools. Single-phase 230V compatibility means straightforward connection to standard mains power without special electrical installation. Built-in safety and control components provide predictable operation and basic protection during routine use.

Suitable for

• Operating pneumatic hand tools (impact wrenches, ratchets, nail guns) in a workshop or garage
• Automotive painting and touch-up work where steady air supply is required
• Inflating tyres, sports equipment and other inflatables
• Compressed-air cleaning of work areas and equipment

When it may not be suitable

This model is intended for small to medium workshop tasks and hobby use; it may not meet the demands of heavy industrial environments that require continuous high-flow compressed air or multiple simultaneous tool operation. The single-phase, 230V electrical design suits standard mains supplies but is not intended for three-phase industrial electrical systems.

Key specifications

• Power supply: single-phase 230 V
• Receiver capacity: 100 litres
• Pump lubrication: oil-lubricated compressor pump
• Typical application: workshop, garage, hobbyist use
• Designed for use with pneumatic tools, painting, inflation and cleaning tasks

How to use

Install the compressor on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area and connect to a compatible 230V socket using appropriate cable and earth protection. Before first use, verify oil level according to the manufacturer's guidance and fill with recommended compressor oil if required. Allow the compressor to reach operating pressure and check safety valves and pressure controls. Connect pneumatic tools or accessories using suitable hoses and fittings, and regulate output pressure via the compressor's pressure regulator to match the tool's requirements. Drain condensate regularly from the receiver to prevent water accumulation and follow routine maintenance intervals for oil checks, filter cleaning/replacement and inspection of safety components.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that 230V single-phase supply is available at the installation site
• Assess whether 100 litres of storage and the compressor's flow rate meet the intended tool or application demands
• Plan for regular oil changes and basic maintenance associated with oil-lubricated pumps
• Consider required accessories such as hoses, fittings, pressure regulators and an intake filter if not included

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when operating pneumatic tools, monitor receiver pressure and drain condensate after each use or daily in humid conditions. For painting, allow the compressor to stabilise at working pressure before starting and use an inline moisture separator to improve finish quality.
