Dropsa

Dropsa is an Italian manufacturer of industrial lubrication systems specializing in central lubrication, minimum quantity lubrication (MQL), and air-oil lubrication systems for industrial machines and machine tools. The company, founded in 1946 in Milan, Italy, is globally recognized as an innovative supplier of lubrication technology that significantly extends the service life of machines and tools while minimizing lubricant consumption. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 739 Dropsa products are available.

Dropsa's core range includes lubrication pumps (electric and manual), central distributors and progressive distribution blocks, metering devices and fluid dosing valves, air-oil mixing valves for minimal lubrication systems, lubrication lines and fittings, and electronic monitoring systems for lubrication circuits. All Dropsa products are designed for long-term reliability in continuously loaded industrial environments.

Dropsa progressive central lubrication systems (SPRO series) ensure even lubrication of all lubrication points from one central reservoir. The progressive distribution mechanism guarantees that all lubrication points are lubricated in fixed volume ratios, regardless of resistance in the lines. This makes the system self-monitoring: if one lubrication point is blocked, the entire system stops, so a defect is quickly noticed.

For machine tools, Dropsa offers the MINIMAL lubrication system (Minimum Quantity Lubrication), where minimal amounts of oil or emulsion are atomized directly onto the cutting zone of tools. This significantly extends tool life, reduces coolant consumption by more than 90 percent, and improves the surface quality of machined products.

At Verkopershulp.nl, you will find the complete Dropsa range for direct ordering. Our technical team advises you on the correct lubrication strategy, system components, and maintenance program for your specific machine application.

Dropsa has expanded its portfolio to include Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL), a technology for direct application of minimal amounts of lubricant to tools during machining processes. The Dropsa Mistlube series MQL systems improve tool life, enhance surface quality, and drastically reduce lubricant consumption compared to conventional coolant flooding. This technology has become standard in the automotive and aerospace industry for machining aluminum, titanium, and other metal alloys.

For monitoring and process protection, Dropsa delivers electronic control units (EVSE and BVSF series) that automatically manage the lubrication cycle, lubrication intervals, and level monitoring. Digital interfaces such as CAN-bus, RS485, and digital I/O connections allow machine builders to fully integrate Dropsa lubrication systems into PLC-controlled production systems. Verkopershulp.nl supplies Dropsa parts for both new construction projects and maintenance of existing lubrication systems.

History

Dropsa was founded in 1946 in Milan, Italy, shortly after World War II. The company started as a manufacturer of simple grease nipples and central lubrication pumps for Italian industrial machines. In the 1960s and 1970s, Dropsa developed its progressive distribution technology, which was a breakthrough in reliable central lubrication. The introduction of minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) systems in the 1980s positioned Dropsa as an innovator in sustainable lubrication technology. Today, Dropsa has more than 200 employees and sales offices in more than 30 countries. The company supplies its lubrication systems to leading machine tool and automotive manufacturers worldwide. Dropsa grew internationally through opening sales offices in more than 30 countries and production facilities in Italy, the USA, and China. The expansion of the range to minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) and electronic controls strengthened the position as a technologically leading supplier of industrial lubrication systems for prominent machine builders worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of a Dropsa progressive central lubrication system?
A Dropsa progressive lubrication system guarantees that all lubrication points are lubricated in fixed ratios from one central pump. The progressive distribution mechanism is also a monitoring system: if one point blocks, the system stops and gives an alarm signal. This prevents wear from missed lubrication of individual lubrication points.
What is minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) from Dropsa?
Minimum Quantity Lubrication (MQL) is a lubrication principle where only 10-50 ml of oil per hour is atomized into a fine mist and directed onto the cutting zone of tools. This extends tool life by 50-300 percent and reduces coolant use by more than 90 percent.
Which Dropsa lubrication pumps are available at Verkopershulp.nl?
We carry the Dropsa SPRO series progressive electric lubrication pumps, EP2 series single-line electric pumps, and various manual pumps. Powers range from 12V DC to 230V AC and reservoir volumes from 0.5 to 8 liters for various machine applications.
How quickly are Dropsa lubrication system components delivered?
Common Dropsa components in stock are shipped the same business day when ordered before 4:00 PM. Delivery in the Netherlands takes 1-2 business days. Special configurations or less common models are typically delivered within 5-15 business days through Dropsa.
Are Dropsa lubrication systems suitable for use with food-grade lubricants?
Yes, Dropsa lubrication systems are available in stainless steel versions and with NSF H1-certified lubricants for use in the food processing industry. The systems can be filled with H1-certified oils and are suitable for applications where incidental contact with food cannot be excluded.
How do I check whether my Dropsa lubrication system is functioning correctly?
Dropsa lubrication systems can be equipped with inductive flow switches or pulse detectors that monitor lubricant consumption and give an alarm signal at interruptions in the lubricant flow. Electronic monitoring modules from Dropsa can be connected to the machine PLC for integrated lubrication system diagnostics.
Are Dropsa distribution blocks interchangeable with those from other manufacturers?
Dropsa progressive distribution blocks follow common connection dimensions, but the internal mechanics of progressive distribution blocks are manufacturer-specific. For replacement of an existing distribution block, we advise contacting our technical team, who will help you identify the correct Dropsa replacement model.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also offer complete Dropsa lubrication systems?
In addition to individual components, we also supply complete Dropsa lubrication systems including pump, reservoir, distribution blocks, and line sets for certain standard machine applications. For custom system design, we refer you to our technical department or to specialized Dropsa distributors.
