Description
FS-Curtis CA10 Horizontal Air Compressor – 10 HP Two-Stage, 120 Gallon, 34.2 CFM @ 175 PSI
The FS-Curtis CA10 Horizontal Simplex air compressor is a heavy-duty 10 HP two-stage reciprocating compressor engineered for demanding industrial applications that require higher airflow, dependable pressure stability, and long service life. Producing 34.2 CFM at 175 PSI, the CA10 supports multiple technicians, continuous air tool operation, and production-level compressed air systems without stepping into rotary screw complexity.
Mounted on a rugged 120-gallon horizontal ASME air receiver, this configuration provides excellent installation flexibility and stable air storage for consistent performance across fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and manufacturing environments.
Available voltage configurations include:
- 208–230V Three Phase
- 460V Three Phase
Each model includes a factory-mounted magnetic starter control panel for simplified wiring and reliable motor protection.
Powered by the Industrial-Grade E71 Cast-Iron Pump
At the core of the CA10 is the E71 two-stage compressor pump, designed for high airflow output and extended service intervals under continuous shop operation. Its slow-speed, cast-iron construction reduces heat buildup and mechanical wear while improving long-term reliability.
Industrial 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
- 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 is the type of compressor built to support real production workloads day after day.
