Description

BUILT TO LAST

All critical components in the CA Series are selected and assembled for long-term performance. So you won’t have to worry about the cylinders, cylinder heads, crankshaft, connecting rods or pistons wearing out before their time. Plus, stainless steel valves are included on all models. Just as important as the materials is the FS-Curtis standard for quality. All parts are manufactured to precision tolerances for high efficiency, powerful performance and years of service under demanding conditions.

• Industrial design for superior performance and reliability in variable demand applications.

• Performance and dependability for challenging applications.

• All cast iron construction for long reliable service life.

• Precision machined components that are meant for real world working conditions.

• High flow, heavy duty stainless steel channel valve design delivers more CFM per horsepower.

• Simple and reliable splash lubrication.

• High efficiency, powerful performance and years of service under demanding conditions.

• Simplex, Duplex, and UltraPack models to suit every application.

• Two-stage compression with inter-cooling to remove heat of compression and improve efficiency.

• Auto start/stop control with optional dual control on 10 hp and above.

• Wide variety of options available.
