Compressor Oils

Reliable Lubrication for Industrial Applications

LUBELINE™ supplies premium compressor oils that ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and protection for industrial air and gas compressors. Whether you operate piston, screw, or Roots-type compressors, choosing the right oil is essential to reduce wear, control heat, prevent deposits, and extend equipment life.

Compressor Types and Lubrication Needs

Piston (Reciprocating) Compressors

• Use pistons and cylinders to compress air in cycles
• Deliver high pressure but are suited to low-to-medium volume operations
• Common in HVAC, refrigeration, and automotive air conditioning
• Require oils with excellent anti-wear protection and high thermal resistance

Screw Compressors

• Use helical rotors to provide continuous compressed air
• Ideal for large-scale HVAC, manufacturing, and industrial refrigeration
• Known for reliability, lower vibration, and reduced maintenance needs
• Benefit from oils with oxidation stability and strong film strength under constant load

Roots (Rotary Lobe) Compressors

• Employ two intermeshing lobes to move air efficiently
• Common in pneumatic conveying, wastewater treatment, and process industries
• Require oils that resist foaming and provide consistent lubrication in continuous service

Common Compressor Oil Grades

LUBELINE™ supplies a wide range of compressor oil grades tailored for specific applications:

• ISO VG 32 – Recommended for high-speed rotary screw compressors
• ISO VG 46 – A versatile grade suitable for many screw and piston compressors
• ISO VG 68 – Designed for heavy-duty, high-temperature applications
• Synthetic Compressor Oils – Extended life, improved oxidation resistance, and better protection in extreme conditions
