What Does Air Compressor Oil Actually Do?
Compressor oil is primarily a coolant. It removes the heat generated during the air compression process. In other words, the oil cools the system so that the element doesn’t overheat.
The oil also lubricates the rotors and seals the compression chamber during air compression for optimum function and efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions
The oil change is usually carried out along with the recurring maintenance of a compressor. Mineral compressor oil should be changed every 4000 operating hours. Synthetic compressor oils can usually be operated twice as long. However, depending on the installation and suction conditions, the oil change intervals may vary. In case of doubt, it is recommended to collect some oil samples, send it to any qualified laboratory for an oil analysis (oil check).
KEEP THE MOTION WITH THE LEAST FRICTIONS
From as simple as a door hinge at home to sophisticated types of machinery bearings that moves during production, adequate lubrication will significantly reduce the friction of these moving parts. Hence the wear and tear are minimized. The key to a smooth motion of the moving parts is applying the suitable lubricant with the proper means. Our engineers at BiOG International Sdn Bhd have many success stories to share and are ready to assist at your doorsteps.

The right type of compressor oil can help reduce compressor component wear, as a result, reduce maintenance requirements.
