Description
FS-Curtis CA15 Air Compressor – 15 HP Two-Stage, 120 Gallon, 42.6 CFM @ 175 PSI
The FS-Curtis CA15 Horizontal Simplex air compressor delivers serious industrial airflow for facilities that need production-level compressed air without moving into a rotary screw system. Producing 42.6 CFM at 175 PSI, this 15 HP two-stage reciprocating compressor is engineered for continuous shop demand, multi-operator environments, and equipment that requires stable high-pressure air delivery.
Built around the heavy-duty E15 cast-iron compressor pump and mounted on a 120-gallon ASME horizontal receiver, the CA15 provides reliable compressed air capacity for fabrication, automotive service centers, manufacturing support systems, and maintenance operations running multiple tools simultaneously.
Available voltage configurations include:
- 208–230V Three Phase
- 460V Three Phase
Each unit includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for simplified installation and dependable motor protection.
Built Around the Industrial-Duty E15 Pump
At the core of the CA15 is the rugged E15 two-stage cast-iron compressor pump, designed for higher airflow output, cooler operating temperatures, and long service intervals under demanding workloads.
Heavy-duty construction features include:
- 100% cast-iron cylinders and cylinder heads
- Deep-finned cooling surfaces for reduced thermal stress
- High-flow stainless-steel valve system for improved efficiency
- Precision-fit industrial 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 behaves less like a shop accessory and more like infrastructure ⚙️—built to anchor a serious compressed air system.
