Gardner Denver Compressor EAM99C

RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT - Gardner Denver compressors are factory filled with AEON lubricants.

These lubricants are formulated to the highest quality standards and are factory authorized, tested and approved for use in rotary screw compressors.

AEON lubricants are available through your authorized Gardner Denver compressor distributor.

OIL SPECIFICATIONS - The factory fill compressor lubricant is Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP lubricating coolant which can be used for year-round operation.

AEON 9000 SP is a synthetic, extended life lubricant which can extend lubricant change intervals up to 4 times that of a petroleum based lubricant.

A lubricant analysis program for a periodic check of lubricant quality and remaining life can maximize the change interval.
