It's suitable for scuba diving tanks, air gun tanks and paintball gun tanks, to name a few. It achieves a maximum pressure of 4500PSI (300 bar) and works quickly (example speeds described below). It can be powered either with a 12V car battery or via the mains.

The GX CS3 PCP Air Compressor has a number of convenient and practical features. We particularly like its 'Auto Stop' functionality which allows you to set a target pressure which the machine will then work towards, and then switch itself off once this pressure is reached. In terms of noise, the compressor runs at around 75dB. It's also oil-free, so there's no risk of oil getting into the air supply.
