2. Key Advantages of Shrieve Air 4046

1. Outstanding Oxidation Stability & Varnish Control:

   Part of the trusted Air 4000 Series air compressor oil family, Shrieve Air 4046 resists thermal breakdown. It significantly reduces carbon, sludge, and varnish deposits, keeping oil coolers and valves clean and responsive.

2. Optimal ISO VG 46 Viscosity Profile:

   The ISO VG 46 grade provides an ideal oil film thickness, ensuring proper rotor sealing, minimizing internal gas bypass, and maximizing volumetric efficiency.

3. Rapid Water Separation (Demulsibility):

   High environmental moisture can cause oil emulsification. Shrieve Air 4046 separates water rapidly, protecting internal bearings and rotors against rust and corrosion.

4. Advanced Component Protection:

   Anti-wear additives shield rotating elements from contact friction, extending the life of air/oil separators and reducing overall maintenance overhead.

3. Equipment & Plant Applications

Shrieve Air 4046 Air Compressor Oil is ideal for various industrial compressed air operations:

• Oil-Injected Rotary Screw Compressors: Ideal for manufacturing plants, automotive assembly, electronics, packaging, and textile production.

• Rotary Vane Compressors: Providing high shear stability under continuous friction loads.

• Continuous Heavy-Duty Operations: Optimized for industrial air plants running 24/7 schedules requiring long drain intervals.

4. Oil Replacement & Maintenance Best Practices

To ensure maximum lubrication performance when converting to Shrieve Air 4046:

1. Drain System Thoroughly: Drain old fluid from the sump, oil cooler, and lower pipework while the equipment is warm.

2. Replace Filters: Always install new oil filters, intake air filters, and air/oil separator elements.

3. Fill and Check: Fill with fresh Shrieve Air 4046 to the required sight-glass level and check operating temperature during initial startup.

ZEROL® AIR 4000 Series compressor oil is formulated for reliable compressor lubrication and protection. It helps provide stable viscosity, oxidation resistance, anti-wear performance, and dependable operation for compressor systems. The product is suitable for applications requiring the corresponding viscosity grade and may be used as a replacement for equivalent compressor oil products.
