 Some companies are founded on hard work. More than 150 years ago, the FS-Curtis way of doing business was established through two key commitments:
a dedication to building quality products and a dedication to responsive customer service.
Others are founded on ideals.
Over the decades, the company and its products have evolved through innovation and new technologies. But those
commitments to quality and service remain unchanged. Today, just as in 1854, FS-Curtis customers can depend on
FS-Curtis was founded on both. our products for reliable, long-term service. Equally as important, they can depend on getting the same from our people.

The famous FS-Curtis attention to detail shines through with features like a heavy-duty powder-coated enclosure and washable
efficiency, improved reliability and extended service life. cabinet filters to protect internal components. Cleanable inlet filtration panels pre-clean the incoming air stream for lower operating
costs, greater compressor reliability and higher air quality. Energy-efficient NEMA Premium Efficient motors ensure long operating
life. Plus, the deep pleats on our filters provide 200% more surface area than typical filter elements to remove finer contaminants
with less flow resistance. That means air and lubrication circulation systems stay cleaner, last longer and require less energy.
dBA Shield Noise Reduction — A Sound Investment A thermostatic oil controller with an integrated FS-Curtis oil filter further ensures that only cool, clean air is compressed.
Noisy compressors can limit your installation options. FS-Curtis has the solution. The SE Series combines a special fan design, airflow
baffling and sound insulation for extremely quiet operation. It’s so quiet, you can install the unit closer to where you want to use it.

Air Intake Filter

engineered to harness gravity and direction of rotation to ensure optimal belt tension under all operating conditions, greatly reducing
maintenance time. Additional efficiency comes from the positioning of the premium efficiency TEFC motor to provide variable belt tension for Air/Oil Separator
efficient operation during changing conditions. Here again, FS-Curtis is 33% more efficient than most competitors. Deep-pleated construction and inside-to-outside
flow paths provide excellent oil coalescence, resulting in 3ppm or less oil carryover and low pressure drop before the
Optional Dryer aftercooler. That translates to lower make-up oil costs and higher-quality compressed air.
With virtually no installation cost, you can increase air quality and gain peace of mind with an FS-Curtis dryer. By removing moisture and oil,
a dryer protects your system and helps maintain production quality. FS-Curtis has a complete offering of compressed air treatment products AIMS PlusTM Controller
and solutions to keep your production high and your air system dry. With a large, easy-to-read display, this user-friendly control interface ensures easy operation. The informative menus
guide you through settings, and service timers let you know when it’s time for maintenance. The warning/alarm
