Rotary Screw Compressor Oils & Fluids

logo-16k

First of all, our PuroLube PAG 16K Extended Life Compressor Fluid is one of the industry’s most advanced, longest life rotary screw compressor oils. Our most versatile and popular fluid, PAG 16K is a synergistic blend of polyglycol (PAG) and polyol ester (POE) synthetic non-varnishing base stocks with a unique replenishable user-optimized additive system for unsurpassed protection and service life. PuroLube PAG 16K has excellent water tolerance making it an ideal choice for compressors operating in hot and humid environments, where PAG 16K has been shown to deliver up to 16,000 hours of service life, or TWICE THE LIFE of standard OEM fluids.

PuroLube PAG 16K’s unique user-optimized additive system is available in a convenient preblended concentrate to replenish vital additives that naturally deplete while in service. PuroLube XTEND Additive Concentrate can be easily added as make-up oil to increase fluid protection and service life. Both the PuroLube PAG 16K oil and its companion PuroLube XTEND additives are formulated for use with the award-winning Compressor Oil Purifier (COP) as part of our PuroLube PLUS Compressor Maintenance System. By combining the industry’s longest life fluid with a system that continuously removes acids, replenishes additives and helps maintain and monitor the oil’s physical and chemical properties, the PuroLube PLUS system has been shown to increase oil service life more than 80,000 hours or 10 YEARS before needing to be replaced.

Critical additives are added to all compressor fluids to increase their oxidation resistance, corrosion protection and service life. Unfortunately, these additives also naturally deplete while in service to negatively impact oil performance and force a premature, but avoidable, end to the oil’s useful life. Fluid Metrics’ PuroLube XTEND Additive Replacement Concentrate is a unique additive supplement formulated for use with PuroLube PAG 16K Extended Life compressor fluid. The PuroLube XTEND contains the same vital oxidation and corrosion inhibiting additives used in PuroLube PAG 16K pre-blended and proportioned in a convenient 1 gallon concentrate to easily maintain oil additives at optimum levels. Formulated to be part of the PuroLube PLUS Compressor Maintenance System (PuroLube + Compressor Oil Purifier + PuroLube XTEND)PuroLube XTEND eliminates additive depletion, improves reliability by increasing protection of the oil and compressor internals, while increasing oil life up to 10 YEARS with routine oil analysis.

  • User-optimized & Replenishable Additive System.
  • Eliminates Additive Depletion (root cause of oil failure).
  • Replenished Critical Oxidation & Corrosion Inhibitors.
  • Retards Oxidation & Acid Production.
  • Increases Oil Service Life (up to 10 Years).

PuroLube PAG 8K is a standard OEM-grade rotary screw compressor fluid formulated to meet or exceed the OEM’s specifications and 8,000 hour normal service life. PAG 8K is a synergistic blend of polyglycol (PAG) and polyol ester (POE) synthetic non-varnishing base stocks with an OEM-optimized additive system best suited for “preventative” time-based oil replacements. Like other PAG/POE compressor fluids, PAG 8K also has excellent water tolerance making it an ideal choice for compressors operating in hot and humid environments. PuroLube PAG 8K is an excellent fluid for small and medium size compressors with limited oil volumes, and where preventative time-based oil changes are recommended.

  • OEM-optimized Additives for Limited Life (8,000 hours).
  • True OEM-grade PAG/POE Replacement (100% Compatible).
  • Excellent Oxidation & Thermal Stability.
  • Varnish-free Performance Helps Cleans Varnished Compressors.

PuroLube SHC 10K Compressor Fluid is an advanced synthetic rotary screw compressor fluid formulated to be a superior replacement to the OEMs’ standard polyalphaolefin (PAO) and synthetic hydrocarbon (SHC) non-PAG fluids. SHC 10K is a premium blend of synthetic hydrocarbon and ester base stocks with a user-optimized additive system for maximum performance, service life and value. PuroLube SHC 10K is rated for 10,000 hours normal service life and has excellent varnish resistance compared to other PAO and SHC formulations. Since all PAO and SHC fluids are less tolerant of water than PAGs and capable of producing varnish at elevated temperatures, these fluids are best applied in compressors operating in cooler and drier environments.

  • User-optimized Additive System for Maximum Life (10,000 hours).
  • Excellent Oxidation & Thermal Stability.
  • Excellent Varnish Resistance Compared to other PAOs & SHCs.
  • Low Oil Carryover.
  • Good Viscosity Index.
  • Excellent Corrosion Protection.
  • Reduces Oil Consumption, Disposal & Environmental Impact.

PuroLube XD Extreme Duty Compressor Fluid is an advanced fluid specially formulated to provide increased protection and service life in screw compressors with moderate exposure to acid gases. An advanced blend of polyol ester (POE) and synthetic hydrocarbon (SHC) base stocks, PuroLube XD is less vulnerable to attack from acid gases and is able to perform much longer than poly glycol (PAG) synthetics in comparable acid gas environments. Custom blended in three viscosities, PuroLube XD is an excellent choice for compressors exposed to acid gases and forced to operate in harsh environments.

Oil-injected rotary screw air compressors are extremely vulnerable to their environment and are prone to ingesting air contaminated with harmful acid gases. Acidic and strong oxidizing gases commonly found in pollution and industrial vapors, once ingested by the compressor, will react with the oil and can do serious harm to the compressor. Some oil base stocks and additives, like many used in standard OEM fluids, are more vulnerable to attack from acid gases, which makes choosing the right oil for extreme duty environments so important.

  • Specially Formulated for Extreme Duty & Acid Gas Environments.
  • Longer Life than PAGs in comparable Acid Gas Environments.
  • Excellent Varnish Resistance at High Temperatures.
  • High Flash Point for Improved Safety.
  • Increases Oil Life & Drain Interval.
  • In addition, it reduces Oil Consumption, Disposal & Environmental Impact.
