ScrewGuard ROTAIR ALTAIR

People. Passion. Performance.

ENGINEERED TO PERFORM, DESIGNED TO PROTECT

Effective lubrication is vital to numerous parts of the compression process. To protect your investment, only high-quality, genuine lubricants offer the reliability and efficiency you need. Both the ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR engineered lubricants have passed rigorous testing and meet your needs for any compressor set-up, in any operating conditions.

Approved for use on our complete compressor range, they allow you to reduce maintenance costs, extend your compressor’s lifetime, and maximize its efficiency. The end result is increased profitability.

1 The assurance you needScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR are the only lubricants that are approved and tested to meet the specific quality requirements of your compressor element. Our lubricants have been thoroughly tested to allow you to obtain the highest level of protection, extending the compressor components’ lifetime and keeping your cost of ownership to an absolute minimum. The use of our lubricants ensures reliable operation and will not limit any warranty on your investment.

2 A firm grip on costsClean internal elements and long-lasting components provide increased efficiency and lower the cost of operation. Our lubricants keep your compressor’s internal elements clean, by avoiding the formation of deposits and controlling external contaminations. In addition, they reduce oil carry-over and prevent the filters from getting clogged, which extends the lifetime of your oil separator, oil filter and compressed air filters.

3 Anti-corrosion capabilitiesTo prevent corrosion, our lubricants form a chemical bond with metal surfaces, which not only eliminates the risk of rusting – even during compressor standstill – but also enables the compressor to resist water contamination.

4 Maximum performanceDesigned to match your compressor’s operating conditions, the ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR lubricants with high thermal conductivity maximize performance. As the excellent air release reduces foaming, recompression of compressed air is avoided. You can rest assured that Rotair and Altair will keep the heart of your machine beating at peak performance.

5 Reliable protectionWe don’t compromise on quality. ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR act as structural materials and protect surfaces. They ensure efficient lubrication and correct viscosity across the whole operating range of temperatures and humidity. Even after long standstill periods of the compressor, the lubricants allow for a smooth start. Their anti-foam characteristics eliminate the risk of cavitation. The ScrewGuard ROTAIR and ALTAIR lubricants are fully compatible with our complete range of compressors.

The use of poorly performing lubricants can cause irreversible damage to your equipment and substantially increase maintenance and repair costs.

The consequences of poorly performing lubricants can be:

RISKS YOU CAN AVOID

● Wear of components and increased friction.

● Reduced critical clearance.

● Limited operation range.

● Reduced cooling and overheated bearings, compression elements and/or components.

● Corrosion.

● Wrong pH, damage to parts, seals and internal elements.

● Varnish layer on internal parts (coolers, piping…).

● Low performance, higher energy consumption, higher costs.

● Deposits.

● High, unpredictable maintenance cost.

● Clogging of oil filter, separator and downstream air filters.
