Puma Air Compressors

Belt-driven, cast iron, Australian supported. From a 10 amp garage setup to a three-phase workshop.

Puma have been sold in Australia since 1979. Every 240V model runs a slow-turning cast iron pump and ships with a 5 micron filter regulator and quick-connect coupling already fitted. The range covers 60 to 265 litres, from a standard household outlet through to three phase.

Start with your power supply

This is the first thing to check, because it rules models in or out before anything else matters.

10 amp is the standard outlet in most homes and garages. Two Puma models run from it with no electrical work.

15 amp uses a physically larger plug. Common in commercial premises, but usually needs an electrician to install at home. Three models require it.

415V three phase is a different supply altogether. If your switchboard does not have it, the two largest models are not an option regardless of budget.

3415V three phase

For multi-bay workshops where more than one person needs air at the same time. Both models ship palletised with free delivery.

Check your switchboard first. Both models need a genuine 415V three-phase supply and a licensed electrician to connect. A workshop on single phase cannot run either, whatever the budget.

Free air delivery is the figure to size your tools against, not pump displacement.

Flow or pressure? The Puma trade-off

This is the part of the range that confuses people, so it is worth understanding before you choose.

At each amp rating Puma offer two models. One delivers more air at a lower maximum pressure, the other delivers less air at a higher maximum pressure. You cannot have both.

At 10 amp

P14-60L · 210 L/min · 1,000 kPa

Lower flow, higher pressure. Choose it if you need the full 145 psi on a standard outlet.

At 10 amp

P16-100L · 240 L/min · 800 kPa

More air, lower pressure, bigger tank. The better choice for most detailing work.

At 15 amp

P18-100L · 320 L/min · 1,000 kPa

Lower flow, higher pressure. For nailers or equipment specifying 145 psi.

At 15 amp

P22-100L · 350 L/min · 800 kPa

More air, lower pressure. The better choice for most detailing workshops.

For detailing, flow usually matters more. Blow guns, interior cleaning tools and polishers typically run at 600 to 800 kPa, so the higher-pressure models offer headroom you will never use while giving away air you would. Choose the high-pressure option only if a specific tool requires it.

What comes fitted

Every Puma 240V model arrives with a 5 micron filter regulator and quick-connect coupling already fitted to the air outlet, so you are not buying a basic filter separately. That handles dirt and water and gives you accurate pressure control at the compressor.

For paint, ceramic coating or PPF work you should still add a coalescing filter downstream. A 5 micron element removes particulates and liquid water but does not remove oil aerosol, and these are oil-lubricated compressors. That distinction matters if your air ever reaches a finished panel.


Build the complete system

A compressor is the starting point. What reaches your tool depends just as much on the pipework and filtration between them.
