Curtis Air Compressors

Reciprocating

Reciprocating air compressors, also known as piston compressors, are the economical compressor system option ideally suited for intermittent duty cycles. Our durable designs are adaptable for many applications and range from inexpensive .75HP to more rugged industrial models up to 30HP. We carry oil-lubricated, oil-free, and gas driven reciprocating compressor models.
