FS-Curtis ML10-H — 10 HP Air Compressor
A facility running pneumatic tools or equipment rated for high-pressure air — above the standard 175 PSI most shop compressors deliver — needs a pump built for that higher pressure range from the start, plus the aftercooler that keeps the discharge air workable.
The FS-Curtis ML10-H is a two-stage reciprocating, baseplate w/ aftercooler compressor rated for 10 HP with no integral 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-H Is Built For
- ✅ A facility with equipment or pneumatic tools requiring 250 PSI output, well above what a standard 175 PSI shop compressor delivers
- ✅ An operation with an existing receiver tank or central air system pairing a higher-pressure pump into that system
- ✅ A shop that needs the aftercooler built in to bring hot compressed air down to a usable temperature before it reaches downstream equipment
- ✅ A facility replacing a failed high-pressure pump on an existing baseplate-mounted system
- ✅ An operator running specialized industrial processes that call for compressed air above standard shop pressure ranges
What the ML10-H Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Standard automotive/repair shops — 175 PSI (the CA/ML standard line) covers typical shop air-tool needs; 250 PSI is a specialized higher-pressure application
- ❌ Buyers who want a plug-and-play unit — a baseplate compressor still needs a tank, piping, and controls sourced separately
- ❌ Shops needing single-phase power — this unit is three-phase only
What Makes the ML10-H Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The ML10-H uses a C79, 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 26 CFM @ 250 PSI and holds pressure up to 250 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.
- 250 PSI high-pressure output
- Built-in aftercooler
- Specialized pneumatic applications
- Standard 175 PSI shop-air needs
- Single-phase-only electrical
ML10-H vs. FS-Curtis ML10-B (10 HP, Standard 175 PSI Baseplate) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | ML10-H | FS-Curtis ML10-B (10 HP, Standard 175 PSI Baseplate) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Pressure | 10 HP / 250 PSI | 10 HP / 175 PSI |
| CFM | 26 CFM @ 250 PSI | 39.8 CFM @ 175 PSI |
| Aftercooler | Included | Not included on base unit |
| Best fit | Specialized high-pressure pneumatic applications | Standard shop-air applications |
Choose the ML10-H when your equipment specifically requires 250 PSI output and a built-in aftercooler. Choose the ML10-B for standard 175 PSI shop-air needs with more overall CFM. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (844) 480-6059.
