Transportable compressors
Portable breathing air compressors are compressors that operate without a fixed installation – completely independent of the power grid with a gasoline engine, or easily relocatable with an electric motor (230V). Delivery rate 150 to 450 l/min, filling pressure up to 300 bar.
Gasoline or electric – which powertrain for which application
The gasoline engine variants (e.g., BAVARIA FUN 2, FUN-MARINE) run completely independently of any power source – perfect for open water or remote locations. The electric motor variants (NAUTIC-150L EM/ET, FUN 2 EM/ET, FUN MARINE EM/ET) run on a standard 230V outlet and are suitable when a power supply is available, but the compressor needs to be moved between locations.
Delivery rate and filling pressure at a glance
Depending on the model, the delivery rate is between around 150 and 450 l/min – the NAUTIC series (150 l/min) for smaller diving clubs, the TPO 270-450 HB-YD for higher throughput at events. The filling pressure reaches up to 300 bar, and variants dimensioned for 200 bar requirements are also available. Which combination fits best is best determined in a direct conversation.
Where portable compressors are used
On board submersibles, at mobile filling stations at diving events, in the field during fire department exercises, at shooting ranges without their own compressor room. Those looking for a permanently installed compressor instead will find the right devices at the stationary compressors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a portable breathing air compressor?
Can be used at changing locations without a fixed installation – independent of the grid with a gasoline engine or with an electric motor at a 230V socket.
What flow rate do I need for a diving club?
Smaller clubs: approx. 150 l/min. Higher throughput or events: 250–450 l/min. We will determine the appropriate sizing during a consultation.
200 bar or 300 bar?
200 bar is common in recreational diving, while 300 bar is now standard for many fire departments and in sports shooting. Both pressure levels are available.
Can it also be operated on a boat?
Yes, there are special marine variants for this (NAUTIC-MARINE, FUN-MARINE), available as either gasoline or electric motor versions.
Difference to stationary compressors?
Stationary: permanently installed, higher continuous throughput. Transportable: intended for relocation.
Is a permit or training required for operation?
That varies depending on the area of application (fire department, diving, authorities) – we will discuss this directly with you.
How quickly ready for use?
Electric immediately after connecting, gasoline after starting the engine.
Are spare parts and service available even after years?
Yes – as a manufacturer, we have been producing ourselves in Brannenburg for 36 years.
Which portable compressor suits your application depends on the number of cylinders, filling pressure, and location of use – contact us, and we will advise you on the right configuration. Request consultation
