Duratex Standard Vacuum Pump Oil For Rotary Vane Pumps
Duratex Standard is a custom-formulated lubricant specifically designed for long life under the severe, demanding conditions usually encountered in recirculating systems such as rotary vane vacuum pumps and systems. Duratex Standard oil has a very low vapor pressure, making it an excellent lubricant for vacuum applications.
This sealing fluid is based on highly refined, hydro cracked, dewaxed, paraffinic oil. The special refining technique, coupled with state-of-the-art additive technology, results in oil with better performance than other mineral oils. Some of the advantages are:
- Long life
- Improved performance
- Exceptional stability
- Low evaporation loss
- Viscosity stability
- Improved economy
- Lower equipment maintenance
- Rust and corrosion inhibited
- Thermal and hydrolytic stability
- Consistent quality
- Resistance to carbon buildup
- Low sludging tendency
- Less frictional drag
- Less downtime
- Specially formulated to reduce oil carryover
If you need to replace standard Duratex oil with the Duratex Synthetic/Foodgrade oil, it is recommended to drain the oil and refill. If the requirement is no silicon or sulfur in the oil at all, then it is recommended to drain the Duratex Standard oil and refill the system with Duratex Synthetic/Foodgrade oil and run the system until it reaches normal operating temperature. Drain to flush all of the standard Vmax oil from all the low-lying areas, then refill again with Duratex Synthetic/Foodgrade oil.
To replace Duratex Synthetic/Foodgrade oil with Duratex Standard oil, simply drain the Duratex Synthetic/Foodgrade oil and refill with Duratex Standard oil.
Remember, when calling for service, parts or system information, always have the pump or system model number and serial number ready.
