A glass manufacturer reached out to one of our distributors in need of a solution for their problem. In the demanding environment of glass mouth cutting, high temperatures pose significant challenges. The extreme heat that is used during the glass cutting process was causing carbon residues to form on the spindle shafts in the glass mouth cutting machines.
An alfalfa pellet manufacturer in Spain suffered frequent failures and breakdowns in their alfalfa pellet presses, leading to high costs of maintenance and spare parts.  Alfalfa is highly fibrous and resists to compression. The pellet mill equipment is working under heavy-duty circumstances with high loads, steam, and heat involved.
As another year has flown by, it's only natural to pause and reflect on the journey we've taken through the past 12 months and be grateful for our amazing partners, customers and team. These were our highlights of 2023
Performing used oil analysis is a great tool to examine the effectiveness of your oil and the condition of your equipment components. It is used to extend equipment life and evaluate lubricants and filters. In this article we explain the most important factors.
The fish and seafood industry is a heavy-duty industry, where lubricants suffer while operating under harsh marine environments where exposure to saltwater and constant humidity can pose significant challenges.
The grease used to lubricate the drill rods should be water-resistant, be able to endure the heavy loads and be NSF H1 certified. This certification is particularly important as it confirms the grease's safety for use in an environment where the water extracted is intended for consumption.
Large scale refrigeration station
The large-scale refrigeration facilities used in industrial refrigeration are using refrigerants and are fitted with oil separators as the lubricant is meant to stay in the compressor element. It is important to use a lubricant that is completely non-miscible with the coolant, and one with a low vapor pressure to avoid or minimize oil entrainment into the circuit.

Switching to Anderol® 6220 gear oil improves performance and reduces costs
aluminum foil
A Chinese aluminium foil maker specializing in the production of pharmaceutical and household aluminum foils has recently made the switch to Anderol® DDO. The 3H food grade dough divider oil typically used for bakery applications, can also be used in the forming and rolling of aluminium foil. In this case it has been used to coat to the aluminum foil through an electrostatic oiling process ensuring consistent uniformity of the coated foil.

dairy
Talking exclusively to Dairy Industries International Ingrid Ooms, global technical manager at Anderol, discusses the lubrication challenges and solutions for the modern dairy plant.
Canning
The use of food grade lubricants in the food canning industry is essential for food safety and quality control. Consumer protection is the number one priority, but ensuring that the production process runs smoothly and safely is also essential.
Anderol vane Compressor
Anderol B.V. has added a high performance synthetic diester based compressor and vacuum pump oil free of any hazard labelling to their product portfolio.
brewery
Brewing beer is a craft, but that does not alter the fact that the modern brewery is an industrial enterprise in which speed and efficiency are central goals, in addition to quality.
Dairy
For dairy manufacturing using food safe lubricants is essential to ensure consumer protection and compliance with HACCP regulations.  At Anderol we understand the requirements and challenges of the dairy industry from extreme heat to freezing temperatures and have developed food grade lubricants that maximize equipment performance, efficiency and productivity at every stage of the manufacturing process.  
Meat processing
One of the major lubrication challenges that meat and poultry processors face is the stringent sanitation processes that use hot, high pressure water or steam combined with aggressive chemicals. These can remove essential greases from moving parts, allowing moisture and corroding chemicals to penetrate and remain in interstices of equipment where they can cause long term damage.
Anderol Food Grade compressor lubricants
With many food and drink processors running their production 24/7, compressor equipment needs to provide optimal reliability and performance, with minimal downtime. It is essential that the right lubrication is applied.
Anderol Screw Compressor
Available for food grade and industrial applications, Anderol® SYNcom (FG) HiPerf 46 is a high performance screw compressor lubricant specially formulated to last a full maintenance cycle.
brewing
Lubricants are essential to many of the applications found throughout the beer brewing process. Every one of them is an essential asset in the production operation that can either make or break the production line. The use of high quality food grade lubricants means optimal performance of equipment, compliance with food safety regulations and importantly, protection for consumers.
food production
Food grade lubricants are used during the production of food as well as food packaging (where there is direct product contact), tobacco products and animal feed. In the same way as any other lubricant they are used to protect against friction, wear, corrosion, heat and deposits and for the transmission of power. Food grade lubricants must comply with safe food regulations and be registered by the USA based NSF (National Sanitation Foundation). Products that are approved by the NSF as lubricants and release agents for the food industry are assigned to specific product codes (H1, H2, H3, HT1 and 3H) depending on their use. Understanding these different food grade lubrication classifications helps ensure optimal safety and compliance.

Selecting the correct lubricant is critical to the performance of your components and not all lubricants are suitable for every application. There are various operating conditions, such as temperature and speed, that need to be taken into consideration otherwise your component won’t be adequately protected from wear and corrosion. In some instances, using the wrong lubricant may even shorten the life of your equipment.
