The Curtis air compressor has always provided the best service to its customers. Its range in compressors spans one-third hp to 300 hp. Curtis makes reciprocating compressors, oil-injected and water-injected rotary screw compressors, and natural gas compressors. It also manufactures accessories, lubricants, and aftermarket products. Here's some info on some of its products. Its ML (master line) series air compressors are recips and feature a cast iron frame construction and stainless steel valve assemblies. They also feature heavy duty connecting rods made of cast iron, a heavy duty ductile iron crankshaft, and oversized tapered roller main bearings. You get the option of a tank-mounted or base-mounted unit as well as gas engine or electric motor driven compressor. Moreover, these compressors are pressure lubricated. The ML series compressors feature standard V-belt drive transmission and an OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Association) compliant belt guard. The air receiver and tank outlet valve is ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) approved. The flywheel is dynamically balanced and the electric motor is designed to NEMA specifications. The features are rounded off by large metal intake filter silencers, a manual condensate tank drain valve, a dial read out pressure gauge, and a 5 year Limited Warranty. Optional equipment includes a water-cooled after cooler or an air-cooled after cooler. Dual control, magnetic motor starter, an automatic tank drain, tank isolator pads, and low oil guard are some other options. You can either integrate your system with the FSCurtis CF5 or CF7 pre-filter and a CR series or CAF dryer. ML series compressor specs feature a power range from 5 to 30 hp, a low RPM (revolutions per minute). The two-stage pressure lubricated air compressors tank mounted units under the series are rated for a pressure of 145 to 250 psi. There are five models featured under this category. They include the D-96 (5 HP for 18.2 air cubic feet per minute (ACFM) and 7.5 HP for 23.2 ACFM), the C-79 (7.5 HP for 27.6 ACFM), and the D-97 (10 HP for 37.4 ACFM and 15 HP for 49.5ACFM). They also include the C-89 (15 HP for 55.8 ACFM and 20 HP for 65.1 ACFM) and the C-98 (20 HP for 76.5 ACFM, 25 HP for 91.4 ACFM, and 30 HP for 102.2 ACFM. All the above ratings are considered at a pressure of 175 psi. Changes in the above basic model numbers are caused due to various changes in configurations. Options with base mounted and water cooled units, simplex tank mounted electric motor driven units, vertical and horizontal receivers, and ultra pack units with simplex - single stage and duplex - two stage units effect changes in the model numbers. Certain configurations are only available for lower ranges of power up to 10 hp, whereas some others are available only in the range above 10 hp.
