Wire ropes are the power source for construction cranes as well as elevators. They also help support bridges. These components must withstand extreme conditions and must support heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained even the strongest wire rope may succumb to wear and tear leading to the cost of downtime as well as safety risks.
Corelube is a company with more than 40 years of experience, knows the vital role wire ropes play in the lives of people. The company designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes operate at peak performance for the foreseeable future.
The Two-Pronged Method of Wire Rope Care:
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged methods: protect the wires’ core from wear and corrosion, and also shield the outer surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Internal Protection: The silent enemy is corrosion. Contaminants, moisture and even sand can penetrate the outer rope’s strands which causes internal corrosion, which weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver a precise amount of lubricant directly into the core, creating a protective barrier against corrosion and minimizing internal friction.
External Defense: The outer strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges, including dirt, abrasions, and extreme weather. These factors, if left unchecked can lead to wear, breakages, and rope breakage. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to prepare surfaces for proper lubrication. It does not only increase the efficacy of the grease, but also facilitates earlier detection of issues like broken strands, or excessive wear.
