Wire ropes are the workhorses of a variety of industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction, and bridges. These crucial components carry a tremendous weight and endure harsh environments. However, without proper maintenance even the strongest wire rope is susceptible to wear and tear, which can lead to costly downtime and safety hazards.
Corelube understands, after 40 years in the industry that wire ropes are as important as they are. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures the most advanced Wire Rope Lubrication Systems, Grease Systems, Cleaning Systems as well as Groove Cleaners to ensure ropes function at their highest performance for the foreseeable future.
The two-pronged method of cleaning wire rope:
Wire ropes can be extended using two-pronged approach: shield the wires’ core from corrosion and wear and shield the outside surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Interior Protection: Corrosion is the silent enemy of wire ropes. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants can enter the outer rope’s strands, causing internal corrosion that 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 exterior wire rope’s strands are exposed to a variety of challenges like abrasion, dirt, and extreme weather. If these conditions are not addressed, they can cause wear and tear leading to strand breaking and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems & Groove Cleaners clean dirt, debris, and old grease to ensure that surfaces are properly lubricated. This not only increases the effectiveness of the lubricant, but also facilitates to detect issues earlier, like broken strands or excessive wear.
