Lubricating your way to more efficient and reliable operations in the chemical industry

The concept of Green Chemistry describes a chemical industry using an environment-driven approach aiming to reduce environmental and health impact from chemicals, e.g. by minimizing pollution or saving energy. Risks stemming both from the products and their manufacture are to be avoided under this approach. Therefore, the concept of Green Chemistry is applied to chemicals right from the design stage. The optimization of the production processes also play a major role for production companies wanting to make a sizeable contribution to sustainability goals.

The twelve basic principles of Green Chemistry applying today have been around since 1998. As defined by the American Chemical Society, they cover all aspects of product development, manufacturing and product use.

With its innovative product solutions and individual service, Klüber Lubrication helps you to integrate Green Chemistry better into your processes.

Specialty lubricants from Klüber Lubrication are developed to protect equipment operating in tough conditions like extreme temperatures, heavy loads, toxic and sour gas environments. The non-flammable, BAM-approved range of greases and sliding agents can protect your equipment and ensure safety of staff for applications located in cryogenic environments. The choice of lubricant in oxygen processes, for example, needs special attention since the risk of explosion can be high if standard lubricants are used.

Proper lubrication of critical components can be challenging when the equipment is located in a remote location or in a toxic environment. Special care may be required, and workers may need to wear a harness and/or a hazmat suit to perform regular lubrication routes. Make safety at work your priority by letting our Klübermatic units do this inconvenient and bothersome work. Our Klübermatic lubrication systems allow you to reduce safety risks related to manual lubrication by ensuring maximum reliability of your equipment.

The Klübermatic lubricant dispensers act as controlled lubricant sources. They supply a defined amount of lubricating grease or lubricating oil to a lubrication point at regular intervals. This helps to keep your production equipment up and running.

You can also use automatic lubricant dispensers to optimise the quantity of lubricant applied. This ensures that lubrication is both efficient and that friction points are continuously supplied with sufficient specialty lubricant.

The result: With the appropriate lubricant dispenser and lubricant amounts individually adjusted for your application, you avoid the risks of both over- and under-lubrication. The lubrication point receives the optimal amount of lubricant and, thanks to the closed system; it is also protected against environmental factors such as dust, dirt and moisture.

Operating and maintenance personnel can significantly increase the lifetime and boost the availability of their machines with high-quality specialty lubricants. In order to provide even more advantages to our customers, we complement our range of specialty lubricants with expert, proactive and effective consulting services. This includes lubricant management, training courses, optimisation of lubrication schedules and solutions that we develop together with our customers.

As an example, our KlüberMonitor program helps customers to achieve the maximum performance of our oils and assists them with maintenance planning. It includes an oil monitoring tool, that allows trends on both oil and equipment conditions to be established.
