Wire ropes provide silent power to bridges, construction cranes and elevators. These essential components support a huge weight and can withstand the harshest of environments. If not properly maintained, even wire ropes that are of top quality may be worn out, resulting in costly downtimes and health hazards.
Corelube knows, after more than 40 years in the industry, how important wire ropes are. The company develops engineering, manufactures and designs cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The two-pronged method of cleaning wire rope:
Wire ropes can be extended by two-pronged methods: protect the core wires from wear and corrosion as well as protect the outside surface from extreme environmental elements and conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the invisible enemy of wire cords. The elements of moisture, contamination and contaminants may penetrate the outer strands of the rope, which causes internal corrosion, which weakens the 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 strands of a wire rope are exposed to a range of challenges, such as abrasion, dirt, and extreme weather. If not taken care of, the above factors could cause wear and tear that can lead to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems, along with Groove Cleaners, remove dirt and grease to prepare the surface of the rope to ensure proper lubrication. This not only increases the effectiveness of the lubricant, it also allows the earlier detection of issues such as broken strands and excessive wear.
Corelube: One-Stop-Shop for Wire Rope Maintenance Solutions
Corelube believes in a complete approach to wire rope maintenance. The systems they offer are designed to work together with each other, resulting in a comprehensive solution.
Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication System: Corelube has a wide variety of lubrication systems for wire rope choices, including automatic dispensers for continuous protection to manual applicators that apply lubricant precisely. Their systems are designed for easy-to-use and precise application to ensure optimal lubricant penetrating and distribution.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube offers high-performance greases that can stand up to harsh environments high temperatures, extreme temperatures, and the rigors of heavy load.
Cleansing wire ropes is vital to lubrication effectiveness. Corelube’s Cleaning Systems, including Wire Rope Groove Cleaners use innovative technology to remove dirt, grease and debris effectively. This results in a clean surface that allows the best lubricant to be applied, and permits thorough inspections to identify possible issues.
The benefits of investing in Wire Rope Maintenance
Regular maintenance of wire ropes using Corelube’s system offers a myriad of benefits:
Extended Wire Rope Lifetime: By preventing corrosion and wear, Corelube’s products significantly increase the life span of wire ropes, thereby saving money on the expense of replacements.
If wire ropes are properly maintained are less likely to break, which reduces safety hazards. They also contribute to a safer working environment.
Increased performance of equipment Wire ropes that are clean and lubricated operate more efficiently, and lessen the energy use. They also wear less on equipment.
Reduced downtime: Regular preventative maintenance can assist in avoiding unexpected breakdowns or equipment failures. This can reduce the amount of time your company is out of commission and keep it running smoothly.
