How to choose a food grade compressor oil.
Food grade compressor oil is an NSF H1 oil for the air compressors that supply a food or beverage line, the vacuum pumps on packaging and filling machines, and the ammonia refrigeration compressors in cold stores and dairies. Compressed air can carry oil into the product, and a refrigeration leak can reach the plant, which is why these systems are moved to H1 oils along with the rest of the line.
LUBE-tech supplies food grade compressor oils from TotalEnergies Nevastane SH, Lunaria SH and PV SH and Castrol Optileb V in Dubai and across the UAE and Oman.
Picking the right grade
- Air compressors
- Rotary screw and piston compressors take a synthetic PAO H1 oil such as Nevastane SH or Castrol Optileb V in ISO VG 46 or 100, for long life at high discharge temperatures.
- Vacuum pumps
- Vacuum packaging and filling take an H1 vacuum pump oil; PV SH 100 is listed for acid and corrosive vapour extraction.
- Ammonia refrigeration
- Ammonia plant in food factories can run on an H1 PAO refrigeration oil such as Lunaria SH, with the low evaporating temperatures the data sheet gives.

Same viscosity, different makers
Food Grade Compressor Oil by ISO viscosity grade
Grades of the same type that carry the same ISO viscosity grade in their name, side by side. A matching number is where a cross-reference starts, not an approved equivalent: the specification, approvals and additive chemistry still have to match. Send us the grade you use today and we will confirm the equivalent against the OEM specification.
| ISO viscosity grade | TotalEnergies | Castrol |
|---|---|---|
| ISO VG 46 | LUNARIA SH 46 | Castrol Optileb V 46 |
| ISO VG 100 | PV SH 100 | Castrol Optileb V 100 |
