Whether as a pneumatic tool to assist with screwing or nailing, for filling air mattresses or car tires – WALTER compressors make working in your home workshop easier or even possible in the first place.

The right WALTER compressor for every project

Compressed air made easy!

WALTER pneumatic compressors are true powerhouses. They generate precise and powerful compressed air, suitable for a wide range of applications. For example, you can check and adjust your car tire pressure yourself – saving you a trip to the gas station. The compressor also makes it easy to inflate paddling pools and bicycle tires for the upcoming summer.

What exactly is a compressor and how does it work?

A compressor compresses the gases and vapors inside. This increases the pressure while simultaneously reducing the volume. Since air is a gas, a compressor is also called an air compressor. The device draws in ambient air and compresses it into powerful compressed air. This is measured in liters. The compressor temporarily stores the compressed air in a pressure tank before delivering it to the connected pneumatic tool. Whether for paint sprayers, blow guns, tire inflators, or jackhammers – a compressor supplies many tools with air. Portable air compressors are also ideal for inflating car or bicycle tires, balls, or air mattresses.

Good to know: Colloquially, compressors are often also called compressors. However, the compressor is actually just one technical part of the compressor.

Application areas of compressors

• Compressors are ideal for screwing, stapling, nailing and grinding, and are therefore often used as pneumatic tools on construction sites or in workshops.
• Use compressed air tools when you need to loosen wheel nuts, inflate tires, or measure tire pressure.
• Also suitable for painting and varnishing work: With compressed air spray guns you can avoid unsightly color gradients.
• In cleaning processes, compressed air compressors are primarily used in the high-pressure pre-washing of vehicles or masonry.

WALTER safety tip: Depending on the application, safety glasses are recommended. If a lot of dust is stirred up when working with the compressor, the use of a respirator is also advisable.

Pressure specifications of a compressor device

Compressors come in many models and for a wide variety of applications. Therefore, pay attention to the specifications when buying one. They will tell you which compressor is best suited to your needs.

• Air delivery rate in liters per minute: Indicates how much compressed air the device can provide and thus specifies the device's performance.
• Intake capacity in liters per minute: This is the amount of air that is drawn in from the environment and compressed.
• Air consumption in liters per minute: Pneumatic tools have a certain air consumption. This indicates how much compressed air the compressor must deliver per minute to operate the tool.
• Filling capacity or filling volume: This is the amount of compressed air that the compressor pumps into the tank.
• Maximum pressure: This is given in bar and shows how highly the air in the boiler is compressed.
