Description
FS-Curtis CA15 UltraPack Horizontal 15HP 42.6 CFM 175 PSI 120 Gallon Air Compressor
The FS-Curtis CA15 UltraPack Horizontal Air Compressor delivers high-output industrial compressed air performance in a factory-integrated package designed to improve reliability, simplify installation, and reduce long-term maintenance requirements. Producing 42.6 CFM at 175 PSI, this two-stage reciprocating compressor is mounted on a rugged 120-gallon horizontal ASME air receiver and equipped with the FS-Curtis UltraPack performance upgrade system.
At the core of the CA15 UltraPack is the heavy-duty E15 three-cylinder cast-iron compressor pump, engineered for sustained airflow demand, cooler operation under load, and dependable service across automotive facilities, fabrication environments, production shops, and maintenance operations.
The UltraPack configuration transforms a proven compressor platform into a shop-ready compressed air system with integrated protection, moisture reduction, and installation-ready controls ⚙️
What Makes This an UltraPack Compressor?
The UltraPack package includes the most commonly requested protection and performance upgrades installed directly at the factory, eliminating aftermarket accessory installation while improving air quality and extending compressor life.
UltraPack enhancements include:
• Air-cooled aftercooler for reduced discharge temperature
• Magnetic motor starter (Simplex configuration)
• Dual control capability (start/stop or constant run operation)
• Low oil level shutdown protection
• Automatic tank drain
• Tank isolator vibration pads
• Factory oil-filled crankcase
These integrated features reduce installation time, stabilize airflow performance, and protect downstream pneumatic equipment from moisture carryover.
UltraPack compressors are also eligible for the industry-leading 5-Year UltraShield warranty 🛡️
Heavy-Duty FS-Curtis E15 Three-Cylinder Two-Stage Pump
The E15 compressor pump is designed for higher displacement output and continuous operation in demanding shop environments requiring steady compressed air delivery.
Pump advantages include:
• All cast-iron construction for maximum durability
• Three-cylinder two-stage compression for efficient 175 PSI operation
• Designed for higher airflow output at 15HP capacity
• Slower pump speeds that extend bearing and ring life
• Precision-machined internal components
• Built for continuous industrial and production-level duty cycles
The E15 platform supports multiple tools running simultaneously and sustained shop demand throughout the workday 🔧
Integrated Aftercooler Improves Air Quality
Compressed air exits the pump hot and moisture-laden. The factory-installed air-cooled aftercooler lowers discharge temperature and removes bulk condensate before air enters your piping system.
Benefits include:
• Reduced moisture entering distribution lines
• Improved pneumatic tool protection
• Better finish consistency in paint and woodworking environments
• Longer downstream filter life
• Reduced maintenance requirements
Cleaner compressed air begins at the compressor, not downstream 🌬️
Magnetic Starter with Dual Control Capability
The CA15 UltraPack includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter with dual control operation, allowing operators to match compressor performance to system demand.
Operating modes include:
• Start/stop mode for intermittent air usage
• Constant run mode for steady production airflow
Additional advantages include overload protection and simplified electrical installation.
120-Gallon Horizontal ASME Air Receiver
The horizontal receiver configuration provides strong reserve air storage capacity and flexible installation where vertical clearance is limited.
Key advantages include:
• Stable pressure during peak demand cycles
• Reduced compressor cycling
• Improved system efficiency
• Easier placement under shelving or mezzanines
• Heavy-duty ASME-certified construction
