The FS-Curtis ML10 represents the pinnacle of heavy-duty reciprocating air compressor engineering. Built for industrial professionals who demand reliable, continuous-duty performance, this 10HP simplex compressor delivers 39.8 CFM at 175 PSI with a robust 120-gallon horizontal tank. The Masterline Series combines patented Centro-Ring pressure lubrication technology with 100% cast-iron construction where it counts, making it the most rugged and affordable alternative to splash-lubricated compressors and small rotary units in its class. Available in three-phase configurations at 200-208V, 230V, and 460V, the ML10 is engineered to last a lifetime in the most demanding working conditions while requiring minimal maintenance.
Built Tough 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.
The ML10 simplex configuration is well suited for common applications where only one compressor is needed. With a D79 pump, factory oil fill, and ASME-approved 120-gallon air receiver, this unit arrives ready to power your shop operations right out of the crate. The horizontal tank-mounted design measures 72" L x 28" W x 58" H and ships at 1055 lbs, providing a stable, space-efficient footprint for busy work environments.
Centro-Ring Pressure Lubrication – Patented FS-Curtis Design
The Centro-Ring pressure lubrication system is an FS-Curtis exclusive featuring proprietary technology you won't find anywhere else. This patented design supplies pressurized oil internally to all bearings and critical wear surfaces through rifle-drilled crankshafts and connecting rods. By ensuring continuous, precision lubrication to every moving part, Centro-Ring technology dramatically increases service life and helps maximize uptime—reducing costly downtime and maintenance intervals in your facility.
100% Cast-Iron Where It Counts – Unmatched Durability
All cast-iron construction in the critical components means longer life with less maintenance. Unlike competitors who claim "100% cast-iron" yet still use aluminum cylinders, cylinder heads, connecting rods, or crankshafts, FS-Curtis delivers true all-iron construction. The ML10 features:
- 100% casting-iron cylinders for superior heat dissipation and wear resistance
- Cast-iron cylinder heads that handle high pressure and temperature cycles
- Ductile cast-iron crankshaft and connecting rods that are stronger, more corrosion-resistant, and far less likely to break under stress
- Slow-turning pump design that reduces friction and increases pump life
- Rugged parts and construction engineered for 100% continuous duty in industrial environments
Quality Components Throughout – Built for Continuous Duty
Every component on the ML10 is selected for industrial performance and longevity:
- Industry-leading stainless-steel valve assemblies for increased airflow and reliability
- Oversized tapered main roller bearings to ensure long service life
- Premium finned intercooler that maximizes heat dissipation
- Metal intake filter-silencers—superior to plastic alternatives
- Heavy-duty stamped-steel belt guard that is OSHA approved and totally enclosed
- Slow V-belt drive for smooth, efficient power transfer
- Suction valve head unloaders designed for continuous running air compressors
- Dynamically balanced flywheel for vibration-free operation
- Premium Efficiency Motors on all three-phase models
