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.
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.
grease water
Lubricants absorb water to different degrees depending on the lubricant type and as most oils have low resistance to water absorption, greases are usually applied where conditions are humid or watery and good water resistance is required.
over greasing
You’ve found the right lubricant for your equipment, but are you using the right amount? Both under greasing and over greasing can cause detrimental damage to your equipment.
wormgear
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.
