While not all elevators use hydraulics the ones that do require a hydraulic fluid that is formulated with the consistent performance and safety needs of an elevator in mind. Hydraulic Elevators typically use hydraulic elevator oil, usually an ISO viscosity grade hydraulic fluid selected according to the elevator system manufacturer\u2019s requirements. The oil must provide dependable lubrication, protect against rust and corrosion, resist oxidation, separate from water, and help reduce foaming or air entrainment.<\/span><\/p>\n BioBlend BioFlo Elevator Oil 32 is formulated specifically for elevator hydraulic systems. It is made from readily biodegradable, high-lubricity base oils combined with proprietary non-toxic rust and anti-corrosion additives. Its rust and oxidation additives and anti-foam agents help provide water demulsibility and low air entrainment, supporting higher circulation rates and smooth hydraulic performance.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Should I Use AW32 or AW46?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Whether to use AW32 or AW46 depends on the elevator manufacturer\u2019s recommendation, the system design, operating temperature, and performance needs. In general, AW32 is lighter and flows more easily at lower temperatures, while AW46 is thicker and may be used where the system calls for a higher-viscosity hydraulic oil.<\/span><\/p>\n Always confirm the required viscosity grade in the equipment manual or with the elevator service provider before changing oil types.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”How Often Should Elevator Oil Be Changed?” _builder_version=”4.27.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Elevator oil change intervals depend on the elevator manufacturer\u2019s recommendations, usage level, operating temperature, contamination, water exposure, and routine oil analysis results. In many hydraulic elevator systems, oil is not changed on a fixed calendar schedule alone; it is monitored for signs of oxidation, viscosity change, contamination, water, foaming, or performance issues.<\/span><\/p>\n BioBlend BioFlo Elevator Oil 32 is designed for excellent thermal and oxidative stability, which helps support long service life with minimal viscosity change over a broad range of operating temperatures. Its formula can also help reduce operating temperatures, friction, and component wear in elevator hydraulic systems.<\/span><\/p>\n For best results, follow the elevator OEM\u2019s maintenance guidance and use regular oil analysis or service inspections to determine when the fluid should be changed.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BioFlo Elevator oil is formulated from readily biodegradable, high lubricity base oils coupled with proprietary non-toxic rust and anti-corrosion additives.<\/p>\n Request a Commercial Quote<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1946,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"Elevator Oil<\/h3>\r\nBioFlo Elevator is formulated from readily biodegradable<\/a>, high lubricity base oils<\/a> coupled with proprietary non-toxic rust and anti-corrosion additives.
