Air compressor oil: the advantages resulting from the use of specifically formulated lubricants

Based on the experiences gained in various applications and with access to innovative chemical compounds, Pakelo has completely updated the entire range of air compressor oil. The development of the line is based on a new, extremely high-performance antioxidant chemistry, on the use of technologies for sludge management and on particularly effective anti-foam agents, all of which has made it possible to reduce the negative effects of air incorporation.

The Pakelo product range includes mineral-based oils and synthetic-based oils to meet the requirements of all compressor manufacturers who can prescribe different types of fluids. In general, mineral-based oils are recommended for lightly loaded compressors with normal operating temperatures.

Instead synthetic-based oils are used for highly stressed compressors, with long service shifts and high working temperatures. This is because they guarantee greater lubrication and replacement intervals that can reach 2 to 4 times those of mineral oils. A correct lubricating oil, which maintains its characteristics over time, ensures protection from wear, reduction in operating consumption, fewer maintenance downtimes and increases the general productivity of the compressor.

To choose the correct product it is always necessary to refer to the manufacturer's prescriptions based on the working conditions, both in terms of product type and ISO viscosimetric gradation.
