FS-Curtis FML30C98BXS

FS-Curtis FML30C98BXS is a 30 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 97 SCFM at 175 PSI, base-mounted (no tank), wired for 230V single-phase, pressure-lubricated. The BXS suffix indicates base-mounted configuration, pairing with a remote or existing receiver. The FML series cast-iron two-stage pump provides pressure lubrication for extended service life in fabrication shops, maintenance bays, and industrial facilities where a separate air receiver is already installed. 230V single-phase power suits shops without three-phase service. The base-mount design allows flexible positioning and custom tank pairing for specific system volumes. Key gaps: weight, duty cycle percentage, and OEM datasheet URL not in current record.
