Choosing the correct Air Compressor lubricant, (oil and grease), for your equipment is an important decision as the lubricant plays an important role in protecting your investment. Arguably, the two most expensive items within a lubricated air compressor are the dryer motor and rotary screw air end assembly. The bearings should be greased regularly, with the correct quantity and type of grease recommended by the OEM, (manufacturer). Similarly, the rotary screw air end should be cooled, sealed, and lubricated using the oil that the manufacturer designed the air compressor around.
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten. Pirate and aftermarket lubricants are not recommended.
In addition to the lubrication these oils provide, they also offer numerous other benefits for air compressor use, including:
- Heat absorption
- Oxidation resistance
- Longer life span
- Viscosity in cold temperatures
- Demulsification
- Anti-foaming abilities

Vacuums
Kaeser's Rotary screw vacuum packages are the perfect solution to industrial Vacuum applications. Featuring our award-winning Sigma Profile™, airend, our range of machines produce 166 to 551 acfm.
Boosters
When compressed air or gas applications require higher pressure than a “standard” air compressor can produce, high pressure booster compressors are an economical and effective solution.
Air Compressors for sale
Our range of air compressors includes reciprocating piston, oil free, and oil injected rotary screw air compressors, from 3hp up to 660hp, and everything in between. If you do not know what you are looking for, we can assist with that too.
Condensate Management
Disposing of the compressed air oil/water condensate bi product, created by your compressor station, carries big legal, and environmental responsibilities. The person knowingly discharging oil to drain, is responsible.
The ultimate guide on rightsizing your compressed air system
Choosing the right compressed air system is crucial to minimize the total cost of ownership. How do you calculate the air demand in flow rate (CFM) and pressure (PSIG), what's the power requirement (V), and how does that translate in a compressed air system with one or more compressors (hp)?
