Because of their high power-to-volume or power-to-weight ratio, air compressors are a cost-effective and highly efficient option across a range of manufacturing-based industries, helping to deliver the power that is critical for production.
But only a well-maintained air compressor is likely to realise these potential cost and efficiency benefits over its lifetime. That makes your choice of compressor oil an important one, especially since compressors are becoming increasingly compact, forcing less oil to work harder, for longer.
Developed alongside both customers and equipment manufacturers, our Shell Corena range of compressor oils has been designed to meet the industry requirements needed to overcome real-world challenges. With performance you can rely on, protection that’s been real-world tested, and technology that is at the forefront of industry innovation, find an oil that works smart as well as hard.
Because different air compressors have different needs, the Shell Corena range includes both dedicated rotary compressor oils as well as oils for reciprocating compressors. From vane to valve wear, we have you covered.
Whether you need a mainstream oil for standard life applications or advanced synthetic oil that can last up to three years, the Shell Corena range prioritises oil life – meaning you can reduce maintenance costs over the long term.
Don’t let pressure loss affect your operations. Designed to promote system efficiency, Shell Corena oils suppress foaming and release trapped air, helping to keep your compressors working as they were intended.
Thanks to extended equipment service life, the Shell Corena range helps your equipment to operate without interruption for longer, so you can be safe in the knowledge that it won’t let you down.
Our gas-to-liquids (GTL) technology turns natural gas into high-performing liquid products. Using base oils derived from natural gas means fluids like our Shell Corena compressor oils can offer various benefits over mineral compressor oils:
Together, these characteristics combine for flawless operation, low oil consumption and energy savings – providing a next-generation fluid solution for modern air compressors, no matter your industry or application.
Hours of engineering and decades of expertise go into the design and development of your air compressors, so why limit that potential by choosing an oil that’s not fit for purpose? From rotary vane and screw to reciprocating (piston) air compressors, the Shell Corena range of oils covers a wide range of compressor types.
Whether you use mobile or stationary compressors, across standard life or severe applications, our range can flex to your specific compressor needs – all the while providing you with the operational essentials that could make the difference between industry standard and industry-leading performance.
