Rotair
Rotair is a specially developed lubricant for use in single stage oil-injected screw compressors.
Its specific composition keeps the compressor in excellent condition. Rotair can be used for
compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 ˚C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 ˚F). If the
compressor is regularly operating in ambient temperatures between 40 °C and 46 °C (115 °F), oil
lifetime is reduced significantly.

Always drain the compressor oil at all drain points. Used oil left in the compressor can
shorten the lifetime of the new oil.
If the compressor is exposed to external pollutants, is being used at high temperatures
(oil temperature above 90˚C / 194˚F) or is being used under severe conditions, it is
advised to change the oil more frequently. Consult your supplier.
