Anderol Offers Test Results Supporting its Position that a Switch to Synthetic Lubricants Offers Significant Benefits

By Roberto Chellini

Compressors, like all machines,need lubrication. Lube oil is expensive.
Machinery manufacturers of all types have made great strides resulting in improvements regarding product quality and length of their useful life. Still, after fuel (or power), the most expensive “consumable” in running  machine is the lubricating oil.
Exceptions do exist. Hermetically sealed compressors with active magnetic bearings operate without lube oil. However, for the time being, the population of machinery equipped with magnetic bearings is relatively small.
According to Anderol, a specialist in the supply of synthetic lubricants, lubricating oil is still required in 99.99% of the compressors and all other rotating equipment currently in use.
According to Anderol, selecting the correct lubrication oil not only increases the life of a machine, it also lowers maintenance costs and enhances the safety, productivity and reliability of the whole plant.
How an operator can achieve “correct lubrication” of a compressor depends on the importance this operator gives to a series of factors such as cost, environment, maintenance, safety, productivity, purity of the product and other variables.
