Description

The P17 petrol has become the largest selling model due to its performance of 350 litres of free air. This is one of the largest petrol models you can buy with a GX200 Genuine Honda engine, built for our tough environmental conditions that also meets the Australian emissions standards.

Again it is super quiet and efficient for the amount of air you receive. It will run die grinders, most common air sanders and 1/2 “ impact guns. This unit is truly manufactured for the professional.

Fitted with the Peerless N75 Pump, full cast iron, slow revving at 1061RPM it is perfect for the Australian conditions. It also features an outstanding 5 year pump warranty. The Conrader idle control valve system (made in America) will save you fuel by cutting in and out with optimal performance when the air demand is required.

P17 petrol models have an oil filled stainless steel pressure gauge (not plastic), braided Teflon exhaust hose, solid metal belt guard and solid rubber wheels. Being built in our Bendigo factory, we run and test each and every single air compressor built. Pressure test vessels, fittings, bolt tensions and pump up times. Quality assurance is our number one.

Electric start engine does come with battery leads but no provisions for battery.
We can manufacture to your design plus there are other standard designs for each model.

All Peerless belt-driven air compressors are manufactured to meet AS4637 standards, ensuring superior performance and reliability.

Important Usage Guidelines:
Piston-type compressors are not designed for continuous operation.

Direct Drive Models: 40–50% duty cycle
Belt Drive Hobby Models: 60–70% duty cycle
Industrial Belt Drive Models: 75–85% duty cycle

Exceeding these duty cycles may lead to compressor failure. Always check site voltage before operation—low voltage (under 230V) can damage the motor. Avoid extension leads, as they cause voltage drop; use longer air hoses instead.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I purchase industrial machinery from a tool shop or reseller, or from an industrial machinery specialist?

Tool shops and general resellers may offer a wide product range, but often lack the specialised knowledge to properly assess applications or provide ongoing technical support. An industrial machinery specialist ensures the right machine is selected and fully supported long after purchase. In most cases, buying directly from the importer or specialist also results in a lower purchase cost, as additional reseller margins are not added.
