Success story: Anderol® CHAIN OIL XL 220 FG


The challenge

A large bakery plant for toast, rusk and rye breads in the Netherlands was using a mineral-oil based chain lubrication for its chains at operating temperatures above 200ºC. The lubricant caused contamination in the chains and had a low service life leading to costly production down-times. Moreover, components needed to be replaced frequently as chain particles were completely covered in deposits. In an effort to optimise performance, the company approached Anderol® to identify a lubricant that offered a high degree of solvency and low deposit formation.

The solution
Anderol®’s specialist team recommended Anderol® CHAIN OIL XL 220 FG – a unique, high quality chain oil that offers outstanding performance for chain lubrication in high temperatures or dirty environments.

As well as high oxidation and thermal stability with low deposit formation, Anderol® CHAIN OIL XL 220 FG has strong detergency properties and prevents carbon build up.

The result
After switching to Anderol® CHAIN OIL XL 220 FG chains have remained clean with no deposit formation. The bakery plant has saved not only an estimated €20,000 in chain revision, but also a week’s downtime. Production capacity has increased significantly, and the life of equipment extended.
