6.2 Oil specifications
It is strongly recommended to use genuine Atlas Copco vacuum Lubricants. They are the result of years of
field experience and research. See section Preventive maintenance schedule for the advised replacement
intervals and consult your Spare Parts list for part number information.
Avoid mixing lubricants of different brands or types as they may not be compatible and the oil
mix may have inferior properties. A label, indicating the type of oil filled ex factory, is stuck on
the air receiver/oil tank.
Atlas Copco vacuum mineral fluid
Atlas Copco's vacuum mineral Fluid is a specially developed lubricant for use in single stage oil-sealed screw
vacuum pumps. Its specific composition keeps the vacuum pump in excellent condition. The vacuum mineral Fluid
can be used for vacuum pumps operating at ambient temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F). If the
vacuum pump is regularly operating in ambient temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), oil lifetime is reduced
significantly. In such case, use Atlas Copco's vacuum synthetic Fluid for a longer interval for oil exchange.
If the vacuum pump is regularly operating in ambient temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), oil lifetime is reduced (see
table oil lifetime Preventive maintenance schedule).
Atlas Copco vacuum synthetic fluid
Atlas Copco's vacuum synthetic Fluid is a high quality synthetic lubricant for oil-sealed screw vacuum pumps which
keeps the vacuum pump in excellent condition. Because of its excellent oxidation stability, vacuum synthetic Fluid
can be used for vacuum pumps operating at ambient temperatures between 0 °C (32 °F) and 46 °C (115 °F).
If the vacuum pump is regularly operating in ambient temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F), oil lifetime is reduced
(see table oil lifetime Preventive maintenance schedule).
Atlas Copco vacuum foodgrade Fluid
Special oil, delivered as an option.
Atlas Copco's vacuum Foodgrade Fluid is a unique high quality synthetic lubricant, specially created for oil sealed
screw vacuum pumps that provide vacuum for the food industry. This lubricant keeps the vacuum pump in
excellent condition. Vacuum Foodgrade Fluid can be used for vacuum pump operating at ambient temperatures
between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F).
If the vacuum pump is regularly operating in ambient temperatures above 35 °C (95 °F), oil lifetime is reduced (see
table oil lifetime Preventive maintenance schedule).
