FS-CURTIS CT Series Reciprocating Compressors
FS-Curtis CT Series reciprocating air compressors are the ideal compressed air solution for applications requiring intermittent duty cycles. Affordable and rugged at the same time, the FS-Curtis CT compressor’s 100% cast-iron critical components are long lasting and hard to beat.
FS-Curtis CT Reciprocating Compressor 5-10 HP
The FS-Curtis CT reciprocating compressors offer unmatched durability and performance. With a 100% cast-iron build for all critical components, these compressors outperform and outlast those with aluminum parts. The two-stage cast-iron pump, deep-finned cylinders, and ductile iron crankshaft ensure efficient operation and exceptional longevity. Quality features include a high-flow stainless steel valve system and precision-fit bearings, enhancing pump life. Designed for ease of maintenance with a visible oil level sight glass and a robust metal intake filter, the CT Series sets a high standard for affordable, industrial-grade compressors, delivering superior pressures and durability.
A LOT OF CAST IRON
- Critical components including cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and high-pressure pistons are crafted from cast iron for peak durability.
- The most robust two-stage pump, made of cast iron, significantly surpasses aluminum pumps in durability, ensuring reliable performance.
- Designed with deep-finned cast iron for the cylinders and heads, this feature aids in maintaining cooler operational temperatures.
- The series is renowned for its durability, thanks to the cast iron construction of its critical components and high-pressure pistons.
- A ductile iron crankshaft enhances the compressor’s strength and corrosion resistance, minimizing the likelihood of breakage.
QULITY COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS
- Features a high-flow, heavy-duty stainless steel valve system for improved efficiency and airflow.
- Incorporates precision-fit, industrial-grade roller bearings to support all rotating parts, extending the pump’s operational life.
