So too for the oils used to lubricate compressors, conveyors, gearboxes and other essential equipment. In order for them to meet the necessary standards, and provide the best performance even in extreme conditions, they must be carefully formulated.
Verolub has been distributing a wide range of lubricants in Belgium and Luxembourg since 1997. Whereas the Limburg-based company initially presented itself as a generalist, today its main focus is on a specialized product range and service package for industry. As an exclusive distributor of Castrol, Verolub secured a rock-solid position in the metal processing industry over the past ten years, for example. With the addition of Anderol's complete food grade portfolio - an extension of the Castrol Optileb range, which was already available earlier - the food processing industry now also sees itself perfectly served and cared for from Lummen.
As the exclusive BeLux distributor of Anderol, Verolub can boast not only its own expertise, but also the exactly eighty years of experience of the lubricant manufacturer itself. In fact, Anderol saw the light of day in the early years of World War II, when founder Dr. Robert Lee Anderson developed synthetic alternatives in response to a shortage of mineral oils for military aircraft. Since then, Anderol has built a remarkable global reputation, with a specialization in lubrication solutions for the food industry as one of the central pillars of the past fifty years.
Anderol is known for the strong performance and consistently high quality of its lubricants. Its solutions for the food industry therefore meet the highest international standards. Anderol has ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 21469 certifications and all food grade products are NSF H1 or H2. These food-grade lubricants are also manufactured in kosher- and halal-certified production facilities. The synthetic oils further withstand the extreme conditions common in food production, such as very low or just very high temperatures.
However, to reduce machine downtime and wear to an absolute minimum, each application places different requirements on the lubricants used. Anderol and Verolub meet these requirements with a wide range of carefully selected formulations, adapted to all possible applications in the food industry, from compressors and vacuum pumps to gears, bearings and hydraulic applications. Since all formulations are developed in-house, Anderol can respond quickly and appropriately to the demands and needs of the field.
However, the wide variety of applications and associated lubricants also means that proper lubricant management is no easy task. To help food producers make the right choices and keep an overview, Verolub therefore supports Anderol's extensive product range with special tools and services. All kinds of lubrication equipment such as Graco oil pumps or dispensing units, as well as drum carts and other accessories, for example, simplify lubricant handling, and an online web portal allows for easy ordering as well as consulting technical information and current prices. The real difference, however, is made by an efficient team of skilled technicians, qualified account managers and inside sales staff. They assist customers with advice on lubricant selection, storage and quality monitoring. For example, experts can perform a complete lubricant analysis under the name Verolub Fluid Analyses, or products can be monitored constantly and on site through Verolub Fluid Monitoring. The quality level of the lubricants is thus maintained and the service life optimized.
