FS-Curtis CT10

FS-Curtis CT10 is a 10 HP two-stage splash-lubricated piston compressor with the cast-iron CT75 pump, rated 29.7 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon horizontal ASME tank. The CT10 shares the CT75 pump platform with the smaller CT7.5 but is paired with a 230/460V three-phase motor and a larger receiver tank for steady-state shop production. Construction is 100 percent cast-iron with ductile-iron crankshaft, stainless-steel reed valves, V-belt drive, and OSHA-approved belt guards. The package is a UL-approved electric design with a NEMA-rated motor and ASME-certified receiver. Best for 3-5 bay auto and tire shops, body shops with paint booths, weld shops, and fabrication facilities running 175 PSI service air on three-phase service. FS-Curtis (formerly Curtis-Toledo) backs the pump with a 2-year warranty extendable to 5 years on registration. The CT-Series is positioned slightly below the heavier-duty CA-Series and Champion R-Series at attractive pricing.
