FS-Curtis CA10-VUP — 10 HP Air Compressor
A growing shop that's maxed out a 5-7.5 HP unit's output but doesn't have floor space for a full duplex setup needs the extra CFM of a 10 HP pump — without moving to a horizontal tank that eats up the bay.
The FS-Curtis CA10-VUP is a two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 10 HP with a 120 gallon vertical ASME tank, built for multi-bay shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day. The included Ultra Pack — factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — cuts down on the maintenance routine so your team spends less time babysitting the compressor and more time on paying work.
Who the CA10-VUP Is Built For
- ✅ A multi-bay shop that's outgrown the CA5/CA7.5 line's output but doesn't have floor space or budget for a duplex setup, needing the extra CFM headroom of a single 10 HP pump instead
- ✅ A paint or finishing operation running several bays off one compressor that needs the factory-installed dryer to keep moisture out of every gun on the line, not just the closest one
- ✅ A shop with a narrow footprint that specifically wants the vertical tank's smaller floor print at the 10 HP tier rather than a bulkier horizontal 120-gallon unit
- ✅ An owner who's had a tank rust from inconsistent manual draining and wants the auto-drain handled automatically at this higher-capacity tier
- ✅ A commercial operation standardizing on FS-Curtis's Ultra Pack accessory bundle across its larger-capacity units for consistent maintenance
What the CA10-VUP Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or smaller shops — a 5 HP or 7.5 HP unit already covers lighter demand at a lower price
- ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who don't need the extra accessories yet — look at a base (non-Ultra Pack) 10 HP configuration
- ❌ Shops needing true redundancy — this is a simplex (single-pump) unit; a duplex configuration is the better fit if uptime insurance matters more than raw CFM
What Makes the CA10-VUP Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The CA10-VUP uses an E71, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage, 3-Cylinder pump built for daily, all-day duty cycles — not a hobby-grade single-stage unit that struggles under continuous shop use.
CFM & Pressure Output
Delivers 34.2 CFM @ 175 PSI and holds pressure up to 175 PSI, enough headroom to run impact wrenches, tire equipment, and paint tools without the tank running dry.
Ultra Pack Upgrades
Includes factory-installed automatic tank drain and refrigerated air dryer — upgrades that reduce maintenance and extend the life of the tank and pump versus a base-model compressor.
Power Requirements
Three-Phase, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- 34.2 CFM at 10 HP
- Factory air-quality accessories
- Compact vertical footprint
- Single-bay / smaller shops
- Shops needing duplex redundancy
CA10-VUP vs. Atlas AF9-120H (7.5 HP, 120 Gal Horizontal) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | CA10-VUP | Atlas AF9-120H (7.5 HP, 120 Gal Horizontal) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 10 HP / 120 Gal Vertical | 7.5 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 34.2 CFM | 22 CFM |
| Tank orientation | Vertical — smaller floor footprint at this tank size | Horizontal — lower overall height |
| Included accessories | Ultra Pack bundle (auto-drain/dryer) | Standard commercial configuration |
Choose the CA10-VUP for more raw CFM and factory-installed accessories in a compact vertical footprint. Choose the Atlas AF9-120H for a lower overall height if ceiling clearance is the deciding factor. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
