Choosing the Right Aeon PD Lubricant for your Industrial Blower or Pump

What lubricant you choose for your pd blower or pump plays a critical role in how long your equipment will last. The best way to ensure your pd blower or vacuum pump avoids premature wearing of its bearings and gears is by regularly changing your synthetic blower lubricant.This means committing to changing the oil every 500-1000 hours. If your equipment is running 24 hours a day that translates to changing your oil every 20-42 days.


The lubricant you put into it is equally as important as the machine itself. No matter the industry you serve, AEON PD Oil offers a way to treat your PD blower with better and more cost-effective results compared to mineral oil.


Keep Your PD Blower in Top Condition


On average AEON PD lubricants last 4 times longer than mineral oils when subjected to the same conditions. Making AEON PD oil a more economical choice over mineral oil alternatives.


Some of the benefits of using AEON PD oil include less needed oil or replacement oil, reduced oil disposal costs, longer service life of the PD blower, and a better option for the environment.


For best results when lubricating your PD blower, we recommend making sure the oil level is right in the middle, regreasing the driven bearings while in the middle of the oil change, and refraining from using an air powered grease gun.   


AEON PD Lubricant Shopping 101


Factors you must pay attention to when shopping for lubricant for your pd blower are the ambient temperatures (temperature surrounding the equipment) and the temperature of the blower discharge. These factors directly affect the type of oil you should use on your pd blower.


For PD blowers in an environment with an ambient temperature between 32 degrees Fahrenheit and below use our AEON PD oil. As the ambient temperature gets higher the AEON PD XD lubricant would be better suited for your PD blower.


If the oil might come in contact with food we recommend using the food grade quality. It has the same high-quality performance as the other AEON PD oils, the only difference is that it is food grade for machines working closely with food products. All types of AEON PD lubricant is available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 1 quart to 55 gallons! For questions regarding pricing and AEON PD lubricant options contact one of our specialists.
