Rotary Screw Compressor Oil Types and Selection

Compressor oil lubricates the airend, seals the rotors and carries away heat, so choosing the right oil protects the machine.

Mineral vs Synthetic

Mineral oils suit standard conditions, while synthetic oils last longer and perform better at high temperatures and long intervals.

Food-Grade Oils

Food processing plants need H1 food-grade lubricants where incidental contact with product is possible.

Matching Oil to Machine

Follow the maker’s specification, change at the recommended interval and avoid mixing different oil types.
