The FS-Curtis CA7.5 Vertical Simplex air compressor delivers dependable industrial compressed air performance for shops that need more airflow than a 5 HP system without stepping into rotary screw territory. Built around the legendary E57 two-stage cast-iron pump, this compressor produces 23.2 CFM at 175 PSI, making it ideal for demanding automotive, fabrication, woodworking, and maintenance operations.
Mounted on an 80-gallon vertical ASME air receiver, the CA7.5 maximizes floor space efficiency while maintaining stable air storage for consistent tool performance throughout the workday.
Available voltage options include:
- 230V Single Phase
- 208–230V Three Phase

Each configuration includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for dependable motor protection and simplified installation.
Industrial-Grade Pump Built for Long Service Life
At the heart of the CA7.5 is the slow-turning E57 cast-iron compressor pump, engineered for durability under continuous shop use. Precision-machined components reduce thermal stress, improve efficiency, and extend maintenance intervals compared to lighter-duty compressors.
Heavy-duty construction features include:
- 100% cast-iron cylinders and cylinder heads
- Deep-finned cooling surfaces for lower operating temperatures
- Stainless-steel valve system for improved airflow efficiency
- Industrial-grade roller main bearings
- Corrosion-resistant crankshaft
- Heavy-duty enclosed steel belt guard
- Metal intake filter/silencer
- High-efficiency intercooler
- Factory oil-filled crankcase
This is a compressor designed to anchor a shop’s air system for years, not seasons.
