Vacuum Pump Oil and Lubricants

High quality oils and lubricants designed to protect and optimise vacuum and low pressure equipment used in industrial and food grade applications.



Our vacuum pump oil is designed for Elmo Rietschle machines but can be used on a number of other manufacturers equipment. Exhaustive testing programmes have been developed solely to create a superior product that you can have complete confidence in. They deliver levels of performance that meet or exceed any published standards so that we can truly say:


"ELMO RIETSCHLE LUBRICANTS ARE YOUR LIQUID ASSETS"

 

 

GENUINE PARTS PROVIDE GENUINE BENEFITS

Not every vacuum pump has the same reaction towards lubricants. The temptation to source cheaper alternative vacuum pump oil can often lead to the wrong buying decision being made. The negative impacts of low quality lubricant are often not considered, resulting in poor performance, increased energy consumption and equipment damage. A costly mistake which often far outweighs the initial cost savings.

Elmo Rietschle Lubricants Range
Elmo Rietschle, is synonymous with quality, performance and reliability, offering high quality vacuum pump lubrication technology. Our Vacuum pump oil is specially formulated to combat the harsh elements of compression while maximizing efficiencies and equipment longevity. Our specially designed vacuum pump oil and lubricants support the innovative extended warranties (Care3) and their use validates the machines owners warranty. No other lubricant can provide this protection for Elmo Rietschle equipment and their owners.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING HIGH QUALITY VACUUM PUMP OIL?

- Higher equipment availability

- Reduced lifetime cost of ownership

- Reduce Maintenance Cost

- Extended oil life

- Reduced lubricant consumption

- Maintain energy efficiency and overall machine performance

- Maintain operating safety

- Help protect the environment

WHY SHOULD YOU AVOID USING THE WRONG LUBRICANTS?

 

- Breakdown of the lubricant and its ability to protect the pumps critical components i.e. bearings

- Oxidation / varnishing

- Increased energy consumption

- Higher risk of catastrophic equipment failure

- Increased condensation

- Swelling or cracking of air system seals / seal material

- Lost production time whilst expensive repairs are carried out

WHY DO YOU NEED VACUUM PUMP OIL?

Vacuum pump oil and lubricants provide four basic needs to your equipment, these are:

  1. TO COOL To help maintain proper operating temperatures in the Vacuum Pump
  2. TO CLEAN To migrate the particles and impurities from the Vacuum Pump into the filter for removal
  3. TO SEAL Creates a barrier between the open gaps to maintain compression
  4. TO LUBRICATE Lubricating all moving parts to limit wear and high temperatures caused by friction

 

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN PURCHASING A VACUUM PUMP OIL?

  • SUITABLE LIFETIME / change interval
  • THERMAL STABILITY - Does not break down at high temperatures
  • LUBRICITY RESISTANCE TO OXIDATION – Strong molecular structure that resist attack from oxidizers and free radicals
  • SYNERGY WITH ADDITIVES - Good solvency / works in conjunction with additives. Does not compete with additives
