Wire ropes power construction cranes as well as elevators. They also support bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and bear heavy loads. Even the strongest wire ropes are susceptible to wear with no proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime as well as safety hazards.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years experience and understands the importance of wire ropes. The company designs, engineers and produces state-of-the-art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance for years to come.
Two-pronged approach to maintenance of wire rope:
In order to extend the life of wire ropes, you need two steps: protecting the core wires inside from corrosion and wear, as well as shielding the exterior from elements in the environment and extreme wear conditions.
Interior Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. Moisture and contaminants can penetrate into the strands that surround it and trigger internal rust which weakens the rope’s central. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems are created to supply the exact amount of lubricant that is required directly into the core. This provides a shield from corrosion and decreases internal friction.
External Defense: The exterior strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of threats, such as dirt, abrasion and weather extremes. If they are not addressed, the issues mentioned above can result in wear and tear, eventually leading to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, thus preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This does not just improve the effectiveness of the lubricant, but also allows for earlier detection of issues like broken strands and excessive wear.
Corelube: One-Stop-Shop for Wire Rope Maintenance Solutions
Corelube provides a holistic look at wire rope maintenance. Their systems are designed in a manner that they cooperate to provide an entire solution to the following needs:
Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication System: Corelube has a wide selection of lubrication systems for wire rope options, ranging from dispensers that are automated that provide continuous protection, to manual applicators to apply lubricant precisely. The systems are designed to ensure simplicity of use and precision application, which ensures optimal the distribution of lubricant and its penetration.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube offers a range of lubricants with high performance that have been designed to withstand extreme temperatures, high loads, and extreme environments.
In order to ensure that lubrication is effective for effective lubrication, it is necessary to wash the wire rope. Corelube’s cleaning systems, including Wire Rope Groove Cleaners, utilize innovative technologies to remove dirt, debris, and old grease efficiently. This provides an easier surface for the best lubricant application and complete inspections.
