To keep your compressor operating reliably and cost-effectively, oil plays multiple vital roles. It protects rotating parts to avoid metal-to-metal contact. It absorbs the heat to ensure optimal working temperatures. It seals the clearances between the rotors and the housing, preventing air backflow and reduced output. Finally, it absorbs contaminants or carries them off to the oil filter.
What makes every Atlas Copco lubricant unique is the mix of additives. These ensure the lubricant will perform just as it should.
Generic, standard oils are made for various types of equipment with standard requirements. However, compressors and vacuum pumps are complex instruments and often operate in demanding conditions. Based on our expertise in compression and in close collaboration with oil companies, we develop a unique additive package that meets all the demands of your equipment.
There are several dangers for the equipment if the wrong lubricant is used. The equipment lifetime can be reduced, deposits can form on the oil circuit and on moving parts, and the lubrication of vital parts is insufficient. Non genuine lubricants can reduce the sealing, corrode metal parts due to oil oxidation, and cause oil carryover, causing poor air quality due to oil particles in the system. Avoid these risks by choosing Atlas Copco lubricants.
Every type of air compressor and vacuum pump needs a specific oil to achieve maximum uptime, performance and lifetime. Our air compressor oils and fluids cover all your needs.
The combination of your compressor or vacuum pump, application and ambient conditions is unique. So to get the best performance and reliability, choose a one-of-a-kind lubricant as well. Our range includes synthetic oil, mineral based oil and NSF Food grade oil. Explore our range or contact your Atlas Copco representative today.
