HillCompressor EC-3000 Evo

With this UK developed and made Hill EC-3000 Evo compressor, you can fill up the air reservoir of your PCP airgun in a matter of minutes. The compressor can also be used to fill large charging cylinders. The previous EC-3000 has evolved and is now the EC-3000 Evo:

This new make now comes with Automatic Air Pressure Purge, which starts when the motor stops and the compressor goes into the cooling cycle when a fill is paused or finished. This takes strain off of the motor when starting again and purges the unit from air and with that, moisture. Another upgrade is the renewed Shuttle Valve, which is made from a more durable material. This makes the compressor sound a little different, but makes it more efficient and durable. It now also comes with a highly accurate digital pressure sensor with an analogue gauge, which is not only very accurate, but also takes away the need to re-calibrate the compressor after a major service. The electronics and software have also been revised and updated to further improve functionality and ease of use.

The compressor is extremely quiet for its class, with a sound level of just 75 dB. It can fill PCP reservoirs up from 50 bar (755 psi) to 310 bar (4500 psi) and the desired pressure can be set on a digital display (units can be displayed in bar/psi/MPa) with a practical rotating control knob. The Hill EC-3000 Evo compressor will automatically switch off when the set pressure is reached and features a ⅛” filling hose with male quick release coupling.

Longevity of a compressor largely depends on its lubrication and for this, the Hill EC-3000 Evo compressor has two oil reservoirs; one with oil for the crankcase and one with silicone oil for the pump. We recommend changing the oil every fifty hours or at least once a year. The compressor can be used between 5 and 75 °C and when reaching the latter, it will automatically switch off to cool down and after that, continue filling.

We’ve extensively tested the Hill EC-3000 Evo compressor ourselves and can tell you it will fill up a 480 cc air bottle from 100 to 250 bar in just 2.5 minutes. Filling up a 3 litre charging cylinder from 100 to 300 bar took 45 minutes, including the cooling-down time.

This EU version of the EC-3000 Evo comes with a 2-pin EU plug.
