Van Meeuwen Lubrication

Biodegradable lubricants are gaining ground

For trouble-free opening and closing of bridges, locks, dams and pumping stations, reliable lubrication maintenance is essential. These hydraulic engineering structures often operate under severe conditions: moisture, changing temperatures and (salt) water have a direct influence on the functioning of oils and greases. Smart choices in lubricants prevent downtime, reduce wear and tear and make maintenance more efficient and less frequent.

Laws and regulations are increasingly mandating the use of biodegradable lubricants in sensitive environments. After all, just one liter of oil can contaminate a million liters of water. But even without such a mandate, switching to sustainable alternatives is a smart move, both ecologically and economically.

A Passion for More Sustainable, Smarter Lubrication

Van Meeuwen has over 90 years of experience and a strong passion for lubrication maintenance. We offer a wide range of biodegradable lubricants for a variety of applications. In addition to our own Green Point® line, we partner with leading brands such as Shell PANOLIN, BIOMAX™, Bel-Ray®, and LUBCON.

Our specialists proactively advise on the optimal lubricant for locations where there is a risk of environmental pollution, such as on engineering structures. Examples include applications such as bearings, open gears, steel cables, and other components that must continue to function reliably under heavy loads and exposure to the elements.

Less maintenance and fewer breakdowns, better performance

Biodegradable lubricants are not only more environmentally friendly, but also offer tangible benefits. Modern bio-lubricants perform exceptionally well under harsh conditions and make it possible to significantly extend lubrication and replacement intervals. That means: fewer oil changes, less downtime, less wear, and lower replacement costs. Unexpected breakdowns also occur less frequently, leading to greater reliability and lower maintenance costs.

From standard to customization: optimal lubrication

Every installation requires customized lubrication advice. Van Meeuwen supports organizations in selecting the right bio-lubricants, switching from traditional products and providing insight into the potential CO₂ savings. In this way we contribute to a sustainable, efficient and cost-effective deployment of structures and machinery in the ground, road and hydraulic engineering sector.
