Description

Michelin MB 100 B Belt-driven Electric Air Compressor

The Michelin MB 100 B air compressor is regarded as the best choice among demanding hobbyists and professionals looking for a reliable, durable belt-driven equipment.

Powered by a 2 Hp electric motor, this air compressor features a compressed air suction capacity of 250 L/min. It is capable of reaching a maximum pressure of 10 bar.

The air compressor comes with an electromechanical pressure switch, pressure reducer with pressure gauge and universal quick release valve.

It features a large-sized compressed air storage tank of 100 L.

The air compressor weighs 58 Kg and can be easily transported thanks to its wheels and the upper handle.

Michelin MB 100 B - Belt-driven Electric Air Compressor - 2 Hp Motor - 100L

Technical features

Air intake flow: 250 L/min

Pumping unit type: belt-driven

Pressure: 10 bar

Electric motor power: 2 Hp

Tank: 100 L

Overall dimensions:
- Width: 1000 mm
- Height: 800mm
- Depth (or thickness): 500 mm

Weight: 58 kg

2 Hp single-phase electric induction motor

Power supply: 230 V

Power: 2 Hp
The induction motor is characterised by a very long service life and low maintenance requirements.

In fact, this motor is brushless, the brushes being the main component subject to wear in electric motors. The absence of this component grants high durability to the motor.

It is a top product in terms of reliability, low noise, durability, energy efficiency and maintenance.

Cylinder head

Air intake flow: 250 L/min
Cylinder head type: twin-cylinder with cast iron cylinders
Suction type: single stage
Lubrication: oil
No. of revolutions: 1310 rpm

The degree of professionalism and more generally the life of the air compressor is largely determined by the number of revolutions per minute of the cylinder head.

The lower the rpm, the longer the life of the air compressor. The reduction ratio of the number of revolutions is obtained by the pulleys of different diameter that are fitted to the motor and to the cylinder head respectively.

Belt drive

These Michelin air compressors feature a belt drive.

The use of the belt, combined with an induction motor, contributes to the durability of this air compressor, drastically reducing the number of revolutions of the cylinder head, increasing its life and reducing wear.

The grid protection serves to prevent the drive belt and the transmission from being damaged by external objects that might hit it during operation. It also allows the status of the drive belt to be continuously checked.

Bolted Motor–Pump Assembly Connection

In this model, the link between the pump assembly and the tank is not welded but secured using a heavy-duty bolted system.
This design solution, typical of higher-end compressors, has been developed to provide:

Increased durability over time: the bolted mechanical joint helps prevent micro-cracks and structural failures that can affect welded joints when exposed to vibration or high pressures.
Simplified maintenance: the connection can be disassembled swiftly, facilitating inspection, cleaning and replacement of parts.
Improved operational stability: the bolted connection ensures a stronger and more durable coupling, particularly beneficial for compressors subjected to heavy-duty use.

Overall, this configuration results in a compressor that is more reliable, more durable and easier to maintain.
