[30565C] Brüder Compressor Air End Oil – 10L

Description

This compressor air end oil is a premium mineral-based lubricant developed specifically for use in rotary screw and rotary vane air compressors where oil injection is used for lubrication, sealing, and cooling. Supplied in a 10-litre container, it is intended for routine servicing and scheduled maintenance of compressor air ends operating in demanding conditions, including mobile and stationary compressor applications.

The oil is formulated using highly refined mineral base oils combined with an advanced additive system to deliver stable performance over extended service intervals. Under suitable operating conditions and where permitted by compressor manufacturers, oil change intervals of up to 4,000 operating hours can be achieved. Actual drain intervals will depend on factors such as intake air quality, ambient temperature, humidity, and duty cycle, with shorter intervals recommended in hot or humid environments.

In rotary screw compressors, this oil helps lubricate rotors and bearings, seal the compression chambers, and efficiently transfer heat away from the air end. Its thermal stability allows it to resist oxidation, carbon formation, and sludge build-up at sustained discharge temperatures of up to 100 degrees Celsius. This helps maintain clean internal surfaces, particularly within oil separators and coalescer systems, supporting consistent compressor efficiency and reduced oil carryover.

The oil has an ISO viscosity grade of 46 and is engineered to provide reliable lubrication across a wide operating temperature range. It offers excellent air release characteristics and strong resistance to foaming, which are critical for stable compressor operation and reliable start-up, especially in systems that experience frequent cycling. Effective water separation properties further help maintain lubrication performance in environments where moisture may be present in the intake air.

Typical applications include oil-flooded rotary screw compressors and rotary sliding vane compressors used in construction, mining support, civil works, agriculture, workshops, and industrial facilities. It is particularly well suited to mobile diesel compressors operating in harsh or dusty environments, where oil quality plays a major role in protecting internal components and maintaining uptime. When used alongside a new compressor oil filter, it helps ensure contaminants are removed from circulation, extending the life of bearings, gears, and sealing surfaces.

From a safety and handling perspective, this oil is not classified as hazardous under current regulations when used as intended. It is a light brown liquid with a mild hydrocarbon odour and a high flash point, making it suitable for normal compressor operating environments. As with all compressor oils, prolonged or repeated skin contact should be avoided, and used oil should be handled with care due to potential contamination accumulated during service. Proper disposal through authorised waste oil collection channels is recommended.

This product is designed exclusively for compressor air ends and is not intended for use as engine oil, hydraulic oil, or general-purpose lubrication. Engine lubrication requirements should be met separately using the oil grade specified by the engine manufacturer.

Overall, this 10-litre compressor air end oil provides a reliable, long-life lubrication solution for rotary compressors, supporting efficient operation, extended service intervals, and reduced maintenance costs when used as part of a structured maintenance program.
