Description
FS-Curtis CA10 Vertical Air Compressor – 10 HP Two-Stage, 120 Gallon, 34.2 CFM @ 175 PSI
The FS-Curtis CA10 Vertical Simplex air compressor is a heavy-duty 10 HP two-stage reciprocating compressor built for shops that need serious airflow, consistent pressure, and long service life without moving into a rotary screw platform. Delivering 34.2 CFM at 175 PSI, the CA10 supports multiple technicians, continuous tool demand, and production-level compressed air systems.
Mounted on a rugged 120-gallon vertical ASME air receiver, this configuration maximizes floor space efficiency while providing the air storage capacity required for stable system performance across demanding applications.
Available voltage options include:
- 208–230V Three Phase
- 460V Three Phase
Each configuration includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for simplified installation and reliable electrical protection.
Powered by the Industrial-Grade E71 Pump
At the heart of the CA10 is the E71 two-stage cast-iron compressor pump, engineered for higher output, cooler operation, and extended service intervals under continuous shop use. Its slow-speed design reduces heat buildup and mechanical stress, helping extend pump life in real-world industrial environments.
Heavy-duty construction features include:
- 100% cast-iron cylinders and heads
- Deep-finned cooling surfaces for lower operating temperatures
- Industrial stainless-steel valve system for improved airflow efficiency
- Precision-fit roller main bearings
- Corrosion-resistant crankshaft
- Heavy-duty enclosed steel belt guard
- Metal intake filter/silencer
- High-efficiency intercooler
- Factory oil-filled crankcase
This compressor is built like infrastructure, not an accessory.
