FS-Curtis ML10-SH — 10 HP Air Compressor
A commercial shop that's just added a second and third bay has watched its compressor's tank empty faster than it recovers once two techs pull air at the same time — that's the moment an owner realizes a smaller CA-series unit has run out of headroom and it's time to step up to the ML Series' industrial pump platform.
The FS-Curtis ML10-SH is a two-stage reciprocating compressor rated for 10 HP with a 120 gallon horizontal ASME tank, built for shops and commercial operations that need compressed air on tap all day without paying for accessories they don’t need.
Who the ML10-SH Is Built For
- ✅ A multi-bay commercial shop that's outgrown the CA-series output and needs the ML Series' heavier-duty pump platform, but doesn't need the Ultra Pack accessories yet
- ✅ An owner replacing a worn compressor who wants the lower entry price of a base configuration and plans to add accessories later if needed
- ✅ A shop with an existing air dryer or filtration system already installed that doesn't need factory-bundled accessories duplicating what's already in place
- ✅ A commercial operation running several bays simultaneously that needs sustained 40 CFM output without the added cost of Ultra Pack extras
- ✅ A shop standardizing on FS-Curtis's ML Series for parts and service commonality, starting with the base tier
What the ML10-SH Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Single-bay or smaller shops — the CA5/CA7.5/CA10 line covers lighter demand at a lower price
- ❌ Shops wanting factory auto-drain/dryer accessories standard — the Ultra Pack (ML10-HUP) adds those, this base unit doesn't
- ❌ Shops needing 120V/240V single-phase power — this series is three-phase only
What Makes the ML10-SH Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The ML10-SH uses a D97, Cast-Iron, Two-Stage 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 39.8 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.
Power Requirements
Three-Phase only, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- Higher CFM at lower entry price
- ML Series industrial pump platform
- Multi-bay commercial shops
- Single-bay / smaller shops
- Single-phase-only electrical
ML10-SH vs. FS-Curtis CA10-VUP (10 HP, 120 Gal Vertical, Ultra Pack) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | ML10-SH | FS-Curtis CA10-VUP (10 HP, 120 Gal Vertical, Ultra Pack) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 10 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal | 10 HP / 120 Gal Vertical |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 39.8 CFM | 34.2 CFM |
| Included accessories | Standard configuration, no bundled accessories | Ultra Pack bundle (auto-drain/dryer) |
| Best fit | Shops wanting more CFM at a lower entry price | Shops wanting factory air-quality accessories included |
Choose the ML10-SH for more CFM output at a lower entry price if you don't need bundled accessories. Choose the FS-Curtis CA10-VUP if factory-installed air-quality accessories matter more than raw CFM. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
