Curtis R/S Series Air Compressors 5-50 HP Rotary Screw
HIGH PERFORMANCE, ENERGY EFFICIENT

Since 1854 CURTIS has been synonymous with quality products and service. CURTIS continues this tradition with the R/S Series Rotary Screw Line.

Through superior engineering our compressors are unmatched in terms of durability and performance. Our advanced R/S air-end design along with an energy efficient control system delivers more air output per energy dollar. Our units are simple to install, easy to maintain and engineered to give dependable, trouble free service.

AIR END
Curtis air-ends are manufactured to ISO-9001 standards. The R/S profile with it's high precision finish offers you the shortest possible sealing line ton minimize internal loses. Along with low running speeds, our design gives you maximum CFM output per brake horsepower. Zero wear Curtis rotors run in an oil bath and have no metal to metal contact. Large, oversize diameter bearings give you more than twice the needed thrust loading for extended air-end life.

R/S Control Panel INSTRUMENTATION
The display includes discharge and sump pressure gauges, temperature gauge, hour meter, dual high air/oil temperature shut down switches with indicating light, start-stop buttons, timed dual control switch, standby light, power on light and optional PSID indicators.

ELECTRICAL CABINET
Conveniently located with hinged access door. Built in across the line magnetic starters with thermo overload protection ensures long motor life. 115 volt control circuit with fused protection is provided for safe operation. Standard NEMA 1 control panel comes U.L. and C.U.L. listed with electrical components U.L. and C.S.A. approved.

LOW POWER CONSUMPTION
For proven maximum energy savings, Curtis offers as standard on line-off line and start-stop control with delay off timer. Modulation also comes standard on 25-50 HP units. During load cycle, compressor capacity automatically adjusts to system demand. When system demand drops, sump system automatically blows down to a low idle pressure and maintains extremely low unloaded horsepower. Unit can also be set to shutdown after a predetermined idle period. Lead-lag/sequence control is available. Start-stop control is standard on 5-7.5 HP units.

Easy to service spin-on separator system is used on 5-7.5 HP base mounted units.
ELECTRIC MOTORS
Curtis R/S Series is designed using off the shelf motors and drive train parts. Heavy duty NEMA design motors are used to ensure long, dependable life.

LEAK FREE DESIGN
Using minimal components along with SAE O-ring sealed connections, Curtis units are designed to eliminate potential leaks.

SIDE BY SIDE AIR/OIL COOLER
Our large, oversize coolers allow for low approach temperatures and provide for a cooler running compressor and enhanced unit performance. Thermostatically controlled oil bypass valve ensures optimum oil temperature to extend air-end life. our side by side coolers also offer easy access for cleaning.
