FS-Curtis ML15Plus-HUP — 15 HP Air Compressor
It's the busiest Saturday of the month and a tech in bay four is standing there, impact wrench in hand, waiting on the tank to build back up while two other bays are pulling air at the same time — that's the moment a shop owner realizes their compressor, not their crew, is the bottleneck.
The FS-Curtis ML15Plus-HUP is a two-stage reciprocating, ultra pack compressor rated for 15 HP with a 120 gallon horizontal 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 ML15Plus-HUP Is Built For
- ✅ A commercial shop that installed a standard ML15 eighteen months ago and has since added a fourth bay — on a busy Saturday the tank now dips low enough that a tech waiting on an impact wrench notices the lag, and 49.5 CFM is no longer quite enough headroom
- ✅ A body shop running two paint booths at once that's had a job come back with visible moisture streaks in the clear coat, and wants both the highest CFM available at 15 HP and the factory-installed dryer solved in the same purchase instead of chasing the problem after the fact
- ✅ An owner replacing a compressor that's started short-cycling under real multi-bay draw, who's compared the standard ML15-HUP's spec sheet against the ML15+ HUP and decided the extra 6.3 CFM from the C89 pump is worth the price difference for a shop already running near capacity
- ✅ A shift supervisor at a multi-bay fleet-maintenance facility who's watched more than one tech stand around waiting for air pressure to rebuild during a rush, and needs the highest-output 15 HP configuration FS-Curtis makes rather than stepping up to a full duplex setup
- ✅ A multi-location operator who's standardized on FS-Curtis's ML Series at smaller shops and is now equipping the group's busiest location, choosing the top 15 HP tier specifically because that site runs closer to its air-demand ceiling than the others
What the ML15Plus-HUP Is NOT Built For
- ❌ Shops whose demand is fully covered by the standard ML15 (49.5 CFM) or an ML10 unit — the ML15+ costs more for the extra output
- ❌ Budget-conscious buyers who don't need the extra accessories yet — the base ML15Plus-SH saves money
- ❌ Shops needing single-phase power — this series is three-phase only
What Makes the ML15Plus-HUP Different
Commercial 2-Stage Pump
The ML15Plus-HUP uses a C89, 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 55.8 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.
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 only, 230V/460V options available. Confirm your panel and breaker sizing with an electrician before delivery.
- 55.8 CFM — highest 15 HP output
- Factory air-quality accessories
- High-demand commercial shops
- Shops covered by standard 15 HP
- Single-phase-only electrical
ML15Plus-HUP vs. FS-Curtis ML15-HUP (15 HP, Standard C89 pump vs. D97) — Which Compressor Is Right for Your Shop?
| Decision Point | ML15Plus-HUP | FS-Curtis ML15-HUP (15 HP, Standard C89 pump vs. D97) |
|---|---|---|
| Horsepower / Tank | 15 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal | 15 HP / 120 Gal Horizontal |
| CFM @ 175 PSI | 55.8 CFM | 49.5 CFM |
| Pump | C89 — higher-output pump platform | D97 — standard pump platform |
| Best fit | Shops needing the highest CFM available at 15 HP | Shops where standard 15 HP output is sufficient |
Choose the ML15+ HUP for the highest CFM output available in the ML 15 HP tier. Choose the standard ML15-HUP if 49.5 CFM already covers your shop's demand — it costs less. Both stay inside Alamo’s catalog — call (817) 865-3707.
