Wire ropes offer quiet power to construction cranes, bridges and elevators. They must withstand harsh conditions and carry heavy weights. In the absence of proper maintenance even wire ropes made of the finest quality could wear out, resulting in costly downtimes and safety hazards.
Corelube, with over 40 years of expertise, understands the vital role wire ropes play. Corelube develops and designs the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function at their best for many years.
The two-pronged method of cleaning wire rope:
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires an approach that is two-pronged: securing the core wires inside from wear and corrosion and safeguarding the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent adversary of wire ropes. Water and contaminants can get through the outer strands creating internal rust which weakens the core which is the rope’s lifeline. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant required directly into core. This creates a barrier from corrosion and minimizes friction within the rope.
Exterior Protection: The exterior wire rope strands are subject to numerous challenges, such as abrasions, dirt and extreme weather conditions. Left unchecked, these factors could cause wear and tear, which can lead to strand breakage and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This will not only increase lubricant effectiveness but also allows an early detection of any issues such as broken strands or excessive wear.
