Filter and oil: changing saves money

When air filters and oil of blowers and compressors are not checked and replaced at regular intervals, this can lead to premature wear, impaired functionality and/or longer breakdowns. Regular change is therefore essential. But not all filters and oils are the same. AERZEN has therefore developed high-performance filter solutions and high-performance oils especially for its machines, incorporating 160 years of expertise and practical experience. This guarantees maximum performance, highest energy efficiency and optimum cost-effectiveness.

Reduced energy consumption thanks to regular filter changes

A brand-new filter has a pressure loss of approx.10 mbar. The degree of contamination increases continuously as a result of operating the plant – and with it the pressure loss. A clogged or partially clogged air filter causes increased energy consumption and leads to a significant reduction in energy and cost efficiency. The increased electricity consumption quickly adds up to €10,000 per year. These costs can be avoided with a regular filter change.

Filter solutions for every application

AERZEN offers filters in a series of options tailored to a wide range of machine technologies, such as positive displacement-, screw- and turbo blowers as well as screw compressors and room air conditions. For example, the F7 filter solution for demanding applications. The filter cartridge is identical in design to the standard filters. It can therefore also be easily replaced in existing Generation 5 machines. In order to operate blower and compressor packages safely in potentially explosive areas, AERZEN has designed suitable zone separation filters for the various ATEX requirements and zones. The change interval for the air filter depends on the degree of contamination of the sucked-in medium and can be determined precisely using the maintenance indicator.

Extended machine service life thanks to regular oil changes

72% of all anti-friction bearing damage is due to unsuitable, unclean or rapidly ageing lubricants. Thanks to AERZEN’s modern high-performance oils, such scenarios belong to the past. The high-quality lubricants are optimised for the blower and compressor specialist’s precision machines and have been tested over many millions of operating hours. High temperature and oxidation stability, proven viscosity/temperature behaviour and outstanding cold flow behaviour not only ensure optimum operating performance, but also extend the service life of the packages. A balanced combination of additives also offers perfect protection against corrosion and ageing. Impairment or even loss of the lubricating effect is avoided in the long term and prevents bearing damage from occurring at all.

High-performance oils from AERZEN

AERZEN Delta Lube 06 is a special low-viscosity oil with a high lubricity. It can remain in the blower or bare-shaft compressor for longer and ensures a significant extension of the change intervals – instead of after 8,000 as usual, the AERZEN special oil only needs to be changed after 16,000 operating hours and the usual initial oil change can also be omitted (under normal operating conditions and a D(p) of > 800 mbar). This leads to cost savings of 40% over the two-year change interval. AERZEN Delta Lube 06 is also suitable for use under very high mechanical loads, changing pressures or extreme temperatures and air humidity. For special applications, for example in the food industry, AERZEN also offers special oils with special oil properties.
