The FS-Curtis ML15 Simplex with a 120-gallon horizontal tank delivers 49.5 CFM at 175 PSI, making it the ideal choice for demanding industrial applications that require reliable, continuous compressed air. Featuring the D79 pump with FS-Curtis's exclusive Centro-Ring pressure lubrication technology, this 15HP three-phase compressor is engineered for shops, service centers, and facilities that need robust performance day in and day out. With 100% cast-iron construction on all critical components and a simplex configuration designed for single-compressor applications, the ML15 combines rugged durability with efficient operation in a space-saving horizontal tank design.
Built Rugged for Industrial Performance
Masterline is the most robust, heavy-duty reciprocating air compressor lineup available. The perfect combination of quality components and efficient design make the ML Series rugged, affordable and smart. Because every model is built tough to last a lifetime in demanding working conditions, the ML Series is an outstanding alternative to splash-lubricated reciprocating compressors and small rotary compressors. Choose higher quality. Choose superior durability. Choose ML Series pressure lubricated air compressors.
This simplex compressor is well suited for common applications where only one compressor is needed. Factory oil filled and ready to run, the ML15 arrives with an ASME approved 120-gallon air receiver, Premium Efficiency Motor (three-phase only), and an impressive suite of standard features that ensure long-term reliability and minimal maintenance.
Centro-Ring Pressure Lubrication – Patented FS-Curtis Design
Proprietary technology that is an FS-Curtis exclusive and sets the ML Series apart from the competition:
- Supplies pressurized oil internally to all bearings and critical wear surfaces through the rifle-drilled crankshaft and connecting rods
- Helps ensure maximum uptime and increase service life
- Superior to splash lubrication systems found on competing models
100% Cast-Iron Where It Counts
All cast-iron cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and crankshaft for longer life with less maintenance:
- Some pumps claim 100% cast-iron yet still have aluminum cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods and crankshafts – not FS-Curtis
- Ductile cast-iron crankshaft and connecting rods are stronger, more corrosion-resistant and less likely to break
- Slow-turning pump increases pump life and reduces wear
- Rugged parts and construction engineered for industrial performance and 100% continuous duty
Quality Components Throughout
Built for 100% continuous duty, the ML15 includes premium components designed to maximize reliability and minimize downtime:
- Industry-leading stainless-steel valve assemblies for increased airflow and reliability
- Oversized tapered main roller bearings to ensure long life
- Premium finned intercooler maximizes heat dissipation
- Metal intake filter/silencer is superior to plastic
- Heavy-duty stamped-steel belt guard meets OSHA requirements
- Suction valve head unloaders for continuous running air compressors
- Dynamically balanced flywheel for smooth operation
- Slow V-belt drive reduces maintenance and extends component life
