Summit TM Series is formulated from highly refined petroleum base stocks and the unique additive Syntholate. The refining process includes catalytic hydrogenation to remove impurities, M.E.K. solvent dewaxing to provide low pour points and vacuum distillation to assure low vapor pressure. The addition of Syntholate inhibits the formation of varnish and carbon and provides superior thermal and oxidative stability. Utilizing the superior petroleum base stocks fortified with Syntholate extends the life of the Summit TM Series compared to that of conventional mineral oils and provides the following money saving benefits:

1. Reduced lubricant consumption - Extended drain intervals and lower vapor pressures reduce lubricant consumption.

2. Reduced maintenance -Syntholate reduces carbon and varnish formation thus extending valve life and the time interval between overhauls.

3. Eliminates recompression- Syntholate keeps the valves clean and eliminates the primary cause of recompression.

4. Reduced power consumption - Elimination of recompression and reduced coefficient of friction results in less power consumption per unit of compression.

5. Improved safety - Higher flash points provide a greater margin of safety in air compression.

The Summit TM Series with Syntholate pays for itself with the first lubricant change.

Available as: TM-10, TM-15, TM-20, TM-30, TM-40

Summit AU-46 is a silicone-based fluid designed for use in rotary screw compressors. AU-46 does not breakdown under normal operating temperatures and pressures thereby eliminating carbon deposits, sludge and varnish formations.  The system stays clean of lubricant by-products resulting in lower maintenance costs.  The high viscosity index insures a minimum change in viscosity over the compressor's temperature range.  AU-46 has excellent water separation, corrosion protection and lubricity characteristics.

Summit Varnasolv

The use of petroleum lubricants, primarily automatic transmission fluid (ATF), in rotary screw and rotary vane compressors results in the formation of varnish and carbon. The varnish and carbon is deposited throughout the system and can cause a number of serious operational problems, resulting in excessively high maintenance costs.

Summit's Varnasolv can help alleviate the problems caused by varnish and carbon. Varnasolv is designed to be used as an additive in the lubricant to remove and suspend varnish while the compressor is in operation. Using Varnasolv eliminates the need for disassembling the compressor for cleaning. For maximum benefit, use Varnasolv prior to each lubricant change.
