FS-Curtis FML30C98D4U – 30 HP 240-Gallon Air Compressor

FS-Curtis FML30C98D4U is a 30 HP two-stage duplex reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 97 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 240-gallon horizontal tank, wired for 230V single-phase, pressure-lubricated. The D4U suffix designates a duplex configuration with two pump-motor assemblies on a shared receiver, enabling lead-lag operation, redundancy, and higher combined capacity than a single-pump unit. The 240-gallon horizontal tank provides substantial reserve volume for high-demand industrial applications. Pressure lubrication extends bearing and cylinder life for sustained intermittent-duty production service. 230V single-phase wiring accommodates shops without three-phase service. Key gaps: combined duplex SCFM output, duty cycle percentage, and OEM datasheet URL not confirmed in current record.
