3.2 hp. 320 L/min FAD. 100 litre tank. 15A supply. 1,000 kPa (145 psi). The Puma P18-100L is the high-pressure option in the 15A range. Most of the Puma 240V range tops out at 800 kPa, which suits detailing work, but if any equipment specifies 145 psi this is the model that meets it on single phase.
Best Puma compressor for workshops needing 1,000 kPa (145 psi) on a single-phase supply, for nailers, high-pressure inflation or mixed tool requirements.
| Application | Suitability |
|---|---|
| Blow guns | ExcellentWell suited to typical blow-gun use. |
| Air blow-out and detailing tools | ExcellentWell suited to typical detailing work. |
| Tornador-style interior guns | Excellent320 L/min gives solid headroom for continuous use. |
| Pneumatic polishers | ExcellentSuitable for sustained single-operator use. |
| Pneumatic sanders | SuitableWorkable for one operator. Check your sander's stated consumption. |
| Multiple air tools at once | Check requirementsDepends on the combination. Contact us with your tool list. |
| High-consumption tools | Check requirementsConfirm the requirement against 320 L/min, or consider three-phase. |
Ratings above are guidance based on the compressor's Free Air Delivery against typical air consumption for each tool type. They are not a performance guarantee. Actual results depend on your specific tools, working pressure, air line setup and how continuously you run them. Check your tool's air requirement before ordering, or get in touch and we will check it for you.
The highest pressure available in the 15 amp Puma range, and the reason to choose this over the P22-100L.
Comfortably ahead of any 10 amp model, with the pressure headroom the P22 does not offer.
The slowest-turning pump in the 240V range, which means less heat and longer service life.
Enough stored air to hold pressure steady through sustained tool use.
A 5 micron filter regulator is fitted as standard, removing dirt and water and giving accurate pressure control, with a Nitto-style coupling on the outlet.
The 240V motor was developed and tested in Australia. Totally enclosed fan-cooled construction keeps dirt and moisture out of the windings.
Solid rubber on steel wheels with ball bearing hubs, rated for all-terrain handling.
Compressor air output is quoted two different ways, and the difference catches a lot of buyers out.
Pump displacement is the volume the pump sweeps on every rotation. It is a theoretical figure and it is always the larger of the two, which is why it often appears first in marketing.
Free Air Delivery (FAD) is the air that actually reaches your tool once losses through the valves, rings and heat are accounted for. This is the number that determines whether your equipment will run properly.
We list FAD as the headline figure on every Puma page. If you are comparing this against another compressor and that one only quotes displacement, you are not comparing like with like. Always ask for the FAD figure.

A compressor on its own is only the starting point. What reaches your tool depends just as much on filtration and pipework.
Glenco publish a full maintenance schedule for oil-lubricated compressors. Keeping to it is what determines how many years you get out of the pump.
| Interval | Task |
|---|---|
| Daily | Check the oil level and inspect for oil leaks. Drain accumulated condensate from the tank; daily draining is recommended where the compressor is used frequently. |
| Weekly | Check or clean the air filter, test the safety valve, inspect for air leaks. |
| Monthly | Check the V-belt, tighten fasteners, clean the unit. |
| 3 months or 500 hours | Replace the oil. |
| 12 months or 2,000 hours | Replace the air filter. |
| 2 years or 4,000 hours | Replace the filter-regulator and V-belt. |
Consumables including filters, lubricants and V-belts are not covered by warranty. Service intervals should be shortened in harsher working conditions.

Free air delivery is the figure to size your tools against. Higher pressure and higher flow are a trade-off at each amp rating, so pick based on what your tools actually require.
320 L/min free air delivery (11.3 cfm) at up to 1,000 kPa (145 psi). Pump displacement is 400 L/min, but FAD is the figure that matters when sizing tools.
Free Air Delivery, the air that actually reaches your tool once internal losses are accounted for. Pump displacement is theoretical and always reads higher. Compare FAD against FAD.
It comes down to pressure. The P22-100L delivers more air, 350 L/min against 320, but tops out at 800 kPa (115 psi). This model reaches 1,000 kPa (145 psi). If any of your equipment specifies 145 psi, choose the P18. If everything runs at 800 kPa or below, the P22 is the better buy.
Blow guns, detailing tools, interior cleaning guns and pneumatic polishers comfortably. Sanders are workable for one operator. It also suits nailers and other tools needing the full 145 psi.
That depends on the specific tools and how continuously they run, so we do not publish a fixed number. Send us your equipment list and we will size it properly.
240V single phase on a 15 amp circuit. This uses a physically larger plug than a standard household outlet, and a licensed electrician will need to install the circuit if you do not have one.
Yes. For pure detailing work the P22-100L gives you more air for the money, but if your workshop also runs higher-pressure equipment this covers both. A 5 micron filter regulator is fitted as standard, though you should add a coalescing filter for paint or coating work.
Delivery is charged at cost. Contact us with your postcode for a freight quote.
The compressor itself does not, but the 15 amp circuit does if you do not already have one.
