Antlia Air Compressor 2.5hp 180L/min 40L - AN2540-HF-1

Antlia Air Compressor 2.5hp 180L/min 40L

High-Flow Performance for Garage Enthusiasts

The Antlia 2.5HP Hi-Flow Air Compressor is designed for serious car enthusiasts and DIYers who require a robust and efficient source of compressed air. Suited to power a broad range of high-pressure and high-flow air tools, this compressor supports tasks such as panel painting, engine removal with impact wrenches, tyre inflation, and die grinding custom fabricated parts. It pairs well with Mechpro and Repco Air Tools, offering reliable performance in a variety of garage settings.

This model builds on the capabilities of a standard 2.5HP compressor by delivering an enhanced free air delivery of 180 litres per minute (compared to 120L/min for the base unit), while maintaining the same 40-litre tank capacity. This improvement means the tank refills faster, reducing downtime between jobs and improving overall workflow efficiency in the garage or workshop.

Durable, Efficient Engineering

Powered by a single cylinder direct drive pump with a displacement of 270 litres per minute, the compressor provides powerful and consistent air compression while maximising operational efficiency. The aluminium crankcase, head, and valve plate are designed to dissipate heat effectively, allowing prolonged use without overheating.

Featuring stainless steel reed valves and a 2.6mm plain carbon steel tank, this compressor is built to withstand demanding conditions. Whether it’s regularly transported in the back of a ute, used extensively at a worksite, or made part of a home workshop, it’s constructed to last.

Convenient Controls and Maintenance

Ease of use is a priority, with an on/off switch and easy-to-read, quick-set regulator, vessel, and output gauges. These features provide simple control and accurate monitoring of air pressure, vital for fine-tuning pneumatic tools. A screw-type drain valve facilitates easy removal of condensation from the tank, preventing corrosion and maintaining air quality over time.

The compressor is shipped with oil already in the crankcase, just install the included vented oil breather after unpacking to get it ready for operation, minimising setup time.
