Mechanical Pump Oils

Vacuum pump oil you can trust

When you depend on a vacuum system for your production processes, it's critical that you use the correct vacuum pump oil to ensure the best performance.

Our oils and technical fluids have been specifically designed to suit vacuum applications. All of our lubricants are tested under laboratory conditions and are validated over thousands of hours of operation. As a result, you can rely on Edwards oils and fluids to enhance performance, extend life and save energy.

ULTRAGRADE® Performance oil

We offer a range of mineral oils produced by a unique hydrotreating process. This process eliminates nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen and the aromatic hydrocarbons, leaving a clear base stock essentially free of impurities. When combined with additives, the Ultragrade oils give improved vacuum performance, thermal and oxidation stability and rust inhibition. The anti-oxidants included in the oils enable the pump to withstand high operating temperatures without oil degradation, so extending intervals between oil changes. Finally, fluids are blended to achieve a selection of products that can be exactly matched to different pump types and applications as "Performance Pure" ideal for food processing.

Our ULTRAGRADE Performance oils are refined for extreme purity and offer:

Low vapour pressure, even at high temperatures
Resilience to the stresses of mechanical pumping
