Keeping the seas and waterways running smoothly: Optimised lubrication for the shipping industry
The huge shipping industry includes a wide variety of vessels, from giant cargo ships to specialised dredgers that operate in shallow waters. However, the smooth operation of these maritime giants poses a particular challenge.
The harsh environmental conditions, constant contact with salt water and the possibility of long journeys away from the coast require careful maintenance of the equipment. Traditional, manual lubrication methods can be time-consuming and pose a safety risk on a swaying ship.
Automatic lubrication systems from Groeneveld-BEKA offer a reliable solution for the marine industry
Our robust systems are designed for the marine environment and withstand corrosion from salt water, extreme temperatures and constant vibrations.
The automatic lubrication ensures a consistent supply of grease regardless of where it is used, whether on the high seas or in shallow inland waters with dredgers.
Precise lubrication schedules prevent unexpected equipment breakdowns at sea and ensure smooth operations and on-time deliveries or efficient dredging projects.
Automatic systems eliminate the need for personnel to climb or enter hazardous areas for lubrication, reducing the risk of slips, falls and injuries on a moving vessel.
Consistent lubrication minimises wear on critical components, extends the service life of the equipment and significantly reduces the need for costly repairs at sea.
Precise application minimises lubricant waste and possible environmental pollution in seas or coastal waters.
