Puma 2HP V-0.17/8 Air Compressor is an oil-lubricated piston air compressor designed to provide a stable compressed air source for small to medium-scale production, repair, and maintenance needs. With a power capacity of 2HP (1.5kW), air flow rate of approximately 170–180 liters/min, and working pressure of 8 bar, the product efficiently meets tasks such as tire inflation, spray painting, operating pneumatic tools, and cleaning machinery in mechanical workshops, auto garages, carpentry shops, or manufacturing facilities.

Key Features of Puma V-0.17/8
- Durable 100% Copper Core Motor: The 2HP (1.5 kW) motor uses pure copper wire winding, helping the machine run powerfully, generate low heat, dissipate heat efficiently via aluminum fins, and save more energy compared to aluminum core motors.
- Cast Iron 2-Piston V-Head: V-type pump head design with 2 thick cast iron cylinders, good impact resistance, and optimized air intake flow. Fast air intake speed helps maintain stable pressure for continuous work.
- Automatic Safety System: Built-in relay automatically stops when the pressure tank reaches full air capacity (8 bar) and restarts when pressure drops below the set threshold. In addition, a mechanical safety valve relieves pressure in case of overload.
- Sturdy Structure, Anti-Rust: Tank shell made of thick metal, carefully processed welds, and coated with characteristic blue electrostatic powder paint to prevent oxidation from workshop environment.
- High Mobility: Equipped with 4 convenient wheels, allowing users to easily move the unit to different work locations despite its weight of up to approx. 70kg.
Practical Applications
With 2HP power and 8 bar pressure, this model is a popular choice for small and medium scales:
- Repair shops, small motorcycle/car wash stations: Provides compressed air for drying vehicles, inflating tires, operating impact wrenches, staplers, lifting jacks, or foam snow tanks.
- Carpentry, mechanics, civil spray painting workshops: Serves nail guns, staple guns, PU spray painting, blowing clean wood dust and iron filings on product surfaces.
- Small manufacturing and packaging facilities: Provides compressed air to operate clamping pistons, packaging stamping machines, or mini sorting systems that do not strictly require 100% oil-free air.
Important Operating Notes
- Periodic Oil Change Cycle: This is an oil-lubricated air compressor.
- First time: Change oil after approx. 500 running hours (break-in period).
- Subsequent times: Change oil periodically every 1,500 – 2,000 operating hours or when the oil sight glass indicates black/cloudy oil. Never let oil level drop below the red line.
- Drain Bottom Condensate Weekly: Air compression accumulates moisture inside the tank. Open the bottom drain valve at least once a week to purge water, avoiding reduced air capacity and internal rusting.
- Clean Air Filter: Air filter on the pump head should be removed and cleaned (once every 1-2 weeks depending on dusty environment) to prevent air blockage, slow air intake, or motor overheating.
- Ensure Stable Power Supply: Uses 220V/50Hz power. If power extension cords are too long or workshop voltage drops, the motor will struggle to start, easily leading to wire burning or capacitor failure.
Puma 2HP V-0.17/8 Air Compressor is widely used in auto and motorcycle garages, mechanical workshops, carpentry shops, production facilities, spray painting shops, garment industry, woodworking, machinery maintenance, and many other industrial sectors.
