The BB range
Bambi BB air compressors feature super quiet oil-lubricated pumps operating between 6 and 8 bar. Fitted with a SMC filter regulator as standard as well as a top-quality Condor pressure switch, they provide the perfect balance of quality and quiet operation.
The oil-lubricated pumps are welded shut by design removing the need for any internal pump maintenance. This also allows us to ship these compressors pre-filled with oil to our customers. The only maintenance required on these oil-lubricated compressors is regularly draining the tank after usage and checking the oil level through the sight glass, topping up if required. All new Bambi compressors are delivered with 1 litre of compressor oil for topping up.
Tanks across the BB range are internally coated to help prevent corrosion and have a 1-year warranty. Optional wheel kits are also available horizontal tank versions, which allow for added versatility by adding compressor mobility.
Key features:
- Oil lubricated 0.45 HP / 0.34kw pump – larger units operating with multiple pumps.
- 9 to 50 litres tanks in vertical or horizontal shape depending on model.
- All units operate up to 8 bar pressure with a 2-bar differential.
- 240 volt / 13 amp electrical supply – UK plug (available with EU plug on request)
35/20 – Small and powerful!
The 35/20 compressor is a compact oil lubricated compressor ideal for pneumatic pressure testing applications, circuit testing, door opening systems and veterinary dental carts.

High pressure versions feature a special filter regulator with additional bowl protection to ensure safety. High-pressure versions should only be used for applications with low intermittent usage such as watch testing.
