Air compressor with tank

I couldn’t get my tubeless Continental 5000s tire to seal on the rim after deflating it to add sealant. I am using an AstroAI compressor with a max psi of 150. I took the wheel to my local bike shop and they were able to get the tire sealed immediately when they put air in it. At that point it was obvious to me that my air compressor wasn’t putting out enough air to push the tire bead outwards. I read somewhere where someone said that you need an air compressor with a tank because they provide a more powerful blast of air. I am wondering what type of compressor others are using, tank or non-tank.
