The FS-Curtis CA15 Simplex is a 15HP horizontal air compressor engineered for automotive shops, light industrial facilities, and demanding commercial applications where reliability isn't optional—it's essential. Built with 100% cast-iron construction, a precision E15 3-cylinder pump, and a 120-gallon ASME-certified horizontal tank, this compressor delivers a robust 42.6 CFM at 175 PSI, providing the sustained air supply your operation depends on. Available in multiple three-phase voltage configurations (200-208V, 230V, and 460V), the CA15 is designed to integrate seamlessly into professional environments. Factory oil-filled, splash-lubricated, and equipped with a magnetic motor starter, this American-made workhorse is ready to perform from day one.
Built to Last in Harsh Environments
CA Series compressors aren't just built to handle harsh environments—they're engineered in configurations that meet your exact application requirements. For automotive, light industrial, and other challenging applications, these compressors are built to last. Every component is selected based on durability and performance, ensuring that your CA Series compressor delivers reliable performance in demanding applications day after day.
Precision-machined components and a dedication to materials of construction that are meant for real-world working conditions further assure long-term durability. The industrial design delivers the most robust air compressor in its class, providing higher pressures, better efficiency, and longer life than entry-level models, making the CA Series ready to handle the most rugged, heavy-duty applications your shop can throw at it.
The Most Durable Pump Construction Available
Meticulous material selection ensures long-term reliability. The CA15 pump features 100% cast-iron cylinders and cylinder heads that reduce thermal stress for increased reliability. A long-lasting, corrosion-resistant crankshaft paired with deep-finned cast-iron cylinders and cylinder heads promote cool operation even under continuous use. The slow-turning pump design significantly increases pump life, ensuring you get years of dependable service from this investment.
Industrial-Grade Components for Continuous Performance
Quality components deliver extended product life and continuous performance. The CA15 is equipped with industrial-grade main roller bearings that are precision-fit for support of all rotating parts. A high-flow, heavy-duty stainless-steel valve system delivers more CFM per horsepower than competing models. Additional premium features include:
- Robust intercooler that increases compressor efficiency
- Metal intake filter/silencer—superior to plastic alternatives
- Heavy-duty stamped-steel belt guard (OSHA approved, totally enclosed)
- Suction valve head unloaders for continuous running air compressors
- Slow V-belt driver for reduced wear and extended belt life
- UL approved pressure switch and ASME approved safety relief valve
