TEH TAC130L Oil-Free Air Compressor | Quad Motor 8HP | 400 L/min 14.1 CFM | 8 Bar 116 PSI | Intelligent Controller | Industrial & Bodyshop

Product Description

The TEH TAC130L is the flagship of the TEH Tools oil-free air compressor range — a professional-grade 130-litre industrial oil-free air compressor powered by a quad motor configuration delivering approximately 8HP of combined power. With a real-world free air delivery (FAD) of 480 L/min (17.0 CFM) at 6 Bar and 400 L/min (14.1 CFM) at 8 Bar (116 PSI), the TAC130L is built for the most demanding industrial, bodyshop, manufacturing, and heavy trade environments where continuous high-volume airflow is non-negotiable.

Equipped with an intelligent digital controller with real-time monitoring, the TAC130L manages all four motors simultaneously, protects against overload, and delivers consistent pressure no matter how many tools are running. The 100% oil-free design means zero maintenance, no oil contamination in your airline, and instant start every time — no warm-up required. Built with 100% copper winding motors for maximum thermal efficiency, long motor life, and consistent performance throughout every working day.

Whether you're running full-car HVLP spray painting, multiple orbital sanders, industrial air grinders, heavy-duty impact wrenches, or up to 6 pneumatic tools simultaneously — the TAC130L delivers without hesitation. This is the most powerful compressor in the TEH oil-free range, backed by a 1 year warranty and free UK mainland delivery.

Full Technical Specifications

Performance & Flow Rate Guide

The TAC130L delivers a smooth, linear flow curve from 1,000 L/min at 0 Bar down to 400 L/min at maximum working pressure of 8 Bar. All figures below are taken directly from the factory-measured performance chart and represent actual free air delivery (FAD) — not theoretical displacement. Use this guide to match your tools and working pressure to the compressor's real-world output.

Note: FAD (Free Air Delivery) is the actual usable airflow delivered at the outlet at the stated pressure. This is always lower than the theoretical max displacement figure. All tools should be matched against FAD — not displacement — when calculating simultaneous tool requirements.

Tool Compatibility & Simultaneous Use Guide

The TAC130L is rated for up to 6 simultaneous tools at full working pressure. Use the guide below to calculate your workshop's airflow requirements and confirm compatibility.

Continuous Full Support (Rated for non-stop operation)

• Full-size HVLP spray guns (~12 CFM each): Run 1–2 simultaneously for complete car body and industrial spray painting without pressure drop
• Orbital / DA sanders (~12 CFM each): Run multiple workstations simultaneously for continuous bodyshop sanding operations
• Industrial air drills (~5–8 CFM each): Continuous heavy drilling across multiple bays
• Industrial air grinders (~8–12 CFM each): Sustained grinding and surface preparation
• Blow guns & air dusters (~3–5 CFM each): Multiple stations simultaneously — no restriction
• Tyre inflation & workshop tools: Continuous operation — well within rated capacity
• Multi-tool workstations (up to 6 tools simultaneously): Ideal for busy industrial workshops, production lines, and multi-bay bodyshops

Burst / Intermittent Heavy-Duty Support

• 1-inch impact wrench (~25 CFM peak burst): HGV, plant, and heavy vehicle wheel nut removal — burst loads well supported by 130L tank
• Medium-large sandblasting cabinets (~20–30 CFM): Heavy blasting applications — runs well with duty cycle management
• High-output plasma cutters (~15 CFM): Industrial cutting operations — intermittent use
• Air saws and heavy cut-off tools (~10–15 CFM): Intermittent heavy cutting — full support

UK Workshop Installation Guide

Power Requirement

IMPORTANT: The TAC130L requires a 32 Amp Blue Commando industrial socket. Standard UK 13A or 16A domestic plugs cannot support the quad-motor startup load and must not be used. If you are unsure whether your workshop has the correct supply, consult a qualified electrician before ordering.

Daily Maintenance

Water condensate will collect in the 130-litre tank during use. Open the bottom drain valve daily to release condensation and prevent internal corrosion. This is normal operation for all large-tank compressors and takes less than 60 seconds. Do not skip this step — accumulated moisture shortens tank life.

Positioning

Place the TAC130L on a level, solid workshop floor with at least 500mm clearance on all sides to allow adequate ventilation around the motors. Do not operate in enclosed spaces without ventilation.

Warranty & Support

The TEH TAC130L is covered by a 1 Year Manufacturer's Warranty from the date of purchase, covering manufacturing defects in parts and motors under normal operating conditions. Warranty is valid for UK purchases through TEH Tools UK. Daily tank drainage as described above is required to maintain warranty validity.
