Wire ropes provide silent power to construction cranes, bridges, and elevators. These parts must endure extreme conditions and must support heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear leading to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube With more than 40 years of experience, is aware of the crucial role that wire ropes play. The company designs engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care
To prolong the life span of wire ropes, it’s imperative to follow an approach in two ways. The core wires inside must be protected from deterioration and corrosion. On the other hand, the exterior wires must be protected from elements and extreme wear.
Internal Protection: Corrosion is the invisible adversary of wire cords. The influx of contaminants or moisture into the strands that surround it and cause internal rust, which weakens the rope’s central. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject an exact amount of lubricant to the core to create an anti-corrosion barrier that reduces internal friction, creating a protective layer.
Exterior Defense: A wire rope’s outer strands can be exposed to a variety of challenges, such as abrasion, dirt or even extreme weather. If neglected, can lead to wear, strand breakage, and rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, along with Groove Cleaners, remove dirt debris, grease and other particles to prepare the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This allows not only for an optimal lubricant performance but also for early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
Corelube is a one-stop shop to keep wire ropes in good condition
Corelube believes in a comprehensive strategy for maintaining wire rope. Their systems are designed to be integrated and provide a complete solution.
Wire Rope Lubrication Systems: Corelube offers a range of lubrication systems, which range from automated dispensers to provide continuous protection to manual applicators to ensure targeted lubrication. Their systems are made to be simple to operate and precise providing maximum distribution of lubricant and penetration.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube provides a wide range of high-performance greases specially formulated to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy loads and harsh environments.
To ensure that lubrication is efficient for effective lubrication, it is necessary to wash the wire rope. Corelube’s Cleaning System, which includes Wire Rope Groove Cleaners use cutting-edge technology to eliminate dirt, grease and other debris effectively. This creates a clean and clear surface that permits the best lubricant to be applied, and permits thorough inspections to identify potential problems.
The benefits of investing capital in the maintenance of wire ropes:
Corelube’s maintenance systems for wire ropes come with a host of benefits.
Extended Wire Rope Lifetime: By preventing corrosion and wear, Corelube’s products significantly increase the life of wire ropes. This saves costs on replacements.
Increased Safety: Wire ropes that have been maintained well are less likely to break, decreasing safety hazards and creating a safer work environment.
Improved Equipment Performance – Clean and greased ropes work better which reduces the energy required and wear and tear on equipment.
Reduced downtime Preventative maintenance on a regular basis can help prevent unexpected breakdowns or equipment failures. This can reduce the amount of time that your company is out of commission and ensure that it runs smoothly.
