Rail vehicles

For all rail-bound vehicles, from goods trains to trams, the wear of wheel flanges and rails is a major factor in maintenance. The environmental impact of rail vehicles comes into play as a further maintenance factor with the noise generated between wheels and rails, in particular the screeching on curves.

Optimised lubrication for a smoothly functioning railway network

The smooth operation of railways is essential for the transport of people and goods over long distances. However, ensuring optimum performance poses considerable challenges for lubrication.

Firstly, friction between rails and wheels can lead to wear and noise, especially on tight curves and heavily loaded tracks. Secondly, ensuring consistent lubrication over long stretches of track with changing weather conditions can be a logistical hurdle.

Groeneveld-BEKA's automatic lubrication systems offer a comprehensive solution for the railway industry

Less wear and tear and less noise

Automatic systems apply precise amounts of lubricant to the rail head or wheel flange at pre-programmed intervals, minimising friction and wear and significantly reducing noise pollution for a quieter and smoother ride.

Increased security

By reducing friction and wear, automatic lubrication helps to prevent broken rails and wheel flange problems, which contributes to a safer railway network.

Improved efficiency

Automated systems eliminate the need for manual lubrication teams to travel long distances, optimising labour resources and reducing overall maintenance costs.

Reliability in any weather

Our robust systems are designed to withstand harsh weather conditions from extreme heat to freezing temperatures, ensuring reliable performance all year round.

Lower environmental impact

Precise application minimises lubricant waste and potential environmental pollution and promotes more sustainable railway operations.

Rationalised maintenance

Automatic lubrication systems provide valuable data on lubricant consumption and system performance, enabling preventive maintenance and a longer service life for tracks and rolling stock.

BEKA Fluilub
For all rail vehicles, from freight trains to streetcars, wear on the wheels and the rail is a major maintenance and cost factor. The noise generated by wheels on tracks, especially in curves, adds environmental problems to the service needs of rail equipment. The FluiLub rail maintenance systems bring an end to the squealing noise of rails in narrow curves and efficiently reduce the wear of wheels and rails.
