FS-Curtis FML30C98M1S

FS-Curtis FML30C98M1S is a 30 HP two-stage reciprocating industrial air compressor delivering 97 SCFM at 175 PSI on a 120-gallon vertical tank, wired for 230V single-phase, pressure-lubricated. The FML series uses cast-iron two-stage pumps with pressure lubrication for extended bearing life in high-duty intermittent shop and contractor applications. At 2,000 lbs, the FML30C98M1S is built for permanent installation in fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and industrial air stations requiring sustained output at 175 PSI max. The 120-gallon receiver supports multi-tool operation and reduces motor cycling. Single-phase 230V wiring accommodates shops without three-phase service. Key gaps: exact duty cycle percentage and OEM datasheet URL not in current record.
