This compressor is dedicated to be used with airbrushing equipment and must not be used otherwise!

Manual

We're still looking for the PDF manual for this exact model. The manual for a similar model (AS-186) can be found here.

Recommended Pressure Settings for Airbrushing

Our compressor has 2 air outlets, each of which has its own pressure gauge. The output pressure can be adjusted by turning the blue "on/off" knob next to the pressure gauge.

The required pressure setting depends on a number of factors such as

  • type of paint (thicker paints require higher pressures, for example our "Aero Pearl" and "Aero Shine" effect colors)
  • airbrush needle diameter
  • gravity feed (paint compartment at the top, for example our Iwata Neo airbrush)
  • syphon feed (paint bottle below the airbrush, for example our black Bader Ideal 350 airbrush)

Apart from the above, the "ideal" pressure setting also depends on personal preference. As a rule of thumb, start with low pressure and slowly go higher. For our Iwata Neo (a double action, gravity feed airbrush), start with 15-20 psi. The pressure should be high enough to create a good atomised misty spray from your airbrush, but also low enough to allow for control of the trigger.

A higher pressure setting atomises the paint better, but this also results in faster drying time.

Specifications

  • boiler capacity: 3 liters
  • working pressure: 0.2 - 4 bar
  • engine power 150 watts / 1/6 HP.
  • number of cilinders: 1
  • voltage: 220 - 240 volts
  • noise level: approx. 50 dB (A)
  • net air yield: 23 L/minute
  • weight: 8.6 kg

Both connections have their own pressure regulator and pressure gauge.

Built-in Moisture separator in the tank.

Terminal and overpressure protection above 6 bar.

Oil-free compressor.

How to Connect an Airbrush to the Compressor

To connect the compressor hose to an airbrush, please use the adaptor piece. The compressor will keep its pressure even if no airbrush is connected.
