The FS-Curtis ML30 Ultra Pack represents the pinnacle of reciprocating air compressor engineering, delivering 102.2 CFM at 175 PSI from a robust 30HP motor paired with the legendary C98 pressure-lubricated pump. This horizontal 200-gallon tank simplex configuration is built for professionals who demand industrial-grade performance, reliability, and longevity. Designed for 100% continuous duty, the ML30 combines FS-Curtis's patented Centro-Ring pressure lubrication system, 100% cast-iron construction in all critical components, and premium quality parts to deliver decades of dependable service in the most demanding environments.
The Ultra Pack configuration takes this workhorse even further by including the most essential accessories and upgrades in one turnkey package. You'll get an air-cooled aftercooler to improve air quality, low oil level shutdown for pump protection, automatic tank drain to reduce maintenance, and tank isolator pads for vibration dampening—all factory-installed and ready to go. With available three-phase power options including 200-208V, 230V, and 460V, this compressor adapts to virtually any facility power configuration.

Masterline Series: Built to Last a Lifetime
Masterline is the most robust, heavy-duty reciprocating air compressor lineup available on the market today. 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.
Centro-Ring Pressure Lubrication – Patented FS-Curtis Design
FS-Curtis's exclusive Centro-Ring pressure lubrication system is a game-changer in compressor engineering. This proprietary technology supplies pressurized oil internally to all bearings and critical wear surfaces through the rifle-drilled crankshaft and connecting rods. The result? Maximum uptime, dramatically increased service life, and unmatched reliability. No other manufacturer offers this patented design—it's an FS-Curtis exclusive that ensures your investment pays dividends for years to come.
100% Cast-Iron Construction Where It Counts
Some manufacturers claim "100% cast-iron" yet still use aluminum cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and crankshafts. Not FS-Curtis. The ML30 features 100% cast-iron cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, and crankshaft—all cast-iron where it truly matters for longer life with less maintenance.
- Ductile cast-iron crankshaft and connecting rods are stronger, more corrosion-resistant, and far less likely to break under stress
- Slow-turning pump design significantly increases pump life and reduces wear
- Rugged parts and construction deliver true industrial performance in continuous-duty applications
Quality Components – Engineered for 100% Continuous Duty
Every component in the ML30 is selected for maximum durability and performance:
- Industry-leading stainless-steel valve assemblies for increased airflow and rock-solid reliability
- Oversized tapered main roller bearings engineered to ensure long service life
- Premium finned intercooler maximizes heat dissipation for cooler operation and improved efficiency
- Metal intake filter/silencer – superior to plastic alternatives in durability and longevity
- Heavy-duty stamped-steel belt guard – OSHA approved and totally enclosed for safety
- Suction valve head unloaders for continuous-running air compressors
- Dynamically balanced flywheel reduces vibration and extends component life
- Slow V-belt drive for smooth, efficient power transmission
Dual Control Operation: Hand-Off-Auto (HOA)
The ML30 is equipped with the intelligent HOA Dual Control feature, giving you the flexibility to run in either Constant Run or Automatic Start-Stop mode depending on your air demand. The FS-Curtis design utilizes a three-way solenoid valve controlled by a selector switch built directly into the magnetic motor starter. Simply change the position of the selector switch to adjust compressor operation:
- "Auto" position: Automatic Start-Stop operation conserves energy during low-demand periods
- "Hand" position: Constant Run mode for high-demand applications requiring continuous air supply
This versatility allows you to optimize energy consumption and compressor performance based on your facility's real-time needs.
Ultra Pack: The Ultimate Value Package
An FS-Curtis Ultra Pack gives you a Masterline Simplex compressor fully packaged with the most commonly requested options and accessories. You'll save money and installation time by getting it all in one comprehensive package, and you'll be assured of increased air quality while reducing maintenance needs. The Ultra Pack includes:
- Air-cooled aftercooler for improved air quality and reduced moisture
- Magnetic motor starter for reliable electrical control
- Dual control (10-30HP Simplex models) with pilot valve for flexible operation
