Wire ropes are the mainstays of many industries, quietly operating elevators, cranes, construction and bridges. They must withstand harsh circumstances and carry massive weights. Even the strongest wire ropes can wear out without proper maintenance. This causes costly downtime, as well as security risks.
Corelube knows, after more than more than 40 years in the business, how important wire ropes are. Corelube designs, engineers and manufactures cutting-edge Wire Rope Lubrication Systems.
The Two-Pronged Approach to Wire Rope Care:
The process of extending the life of wire ropes requires two steps: protecting the interior core wires from wear and corrosion, as well as shielding the exterior from environmental elements and severe wear conditions.
Interior Protection Corrosion is an invisible enemy of wire ropes. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can enter the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens the core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems inject a precise amount lubricant into the core, creating an anti-corrosion barrier, reducing internal friction and creating an outer layer of protection.
External Defense: The outside strands of a wire rope are subject to a myriad of threats, such as dirt, abrasion, and weather extremes. Left unchecked, these factors could cause wear and tear, leading to strand breaking and ultimately, rope failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris, and old grease, preparing the surface for proper lubrication. This ensures not only an optimal lubricant performance but also the early detection and prevention of problems like worn strands or broken strands.
Corelube: A One-Stop Shop for Wire Rope Maintenance Solutions
Corelube believes in an all-encompassing approach to wire rope maintenance. Their systems are made to be integrated, offering the complete solution for your specific requirements:
Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication System: Corelube has a wide assortment of lubrication for wire rope options, from automatic dispensers that provide continuous protection, to manual applicators to apply lubricant precisely. Their systems are made to be simple to use and precise, providing maximum distribution of lubricant and penetration.
Wire Rope Grease Systems: Different applications require different lubricants. Corelube provides high-performance greases that are able to withstand harsh environments, extreme temperatures and heavy load.
To ensure that the lubrication process is effective, it is important to wash the wire rope. Corelube’s cleaning products, like Wire Rope Groove Cleaners, employ cutting-edge technology to get rid of dirt and debris as well as old grease effectively. It provides a clean, clear surface which allows the best lubricant to be applied, and permits thorough inspections that can detect any potential issues.
The advantages of investing funds on the maintenance of wire ropes:
Regular maintenance of wire ropes with Corelube’s systems offers a multitude of advantages:
Extended Wire Rope Life: By protecting against wear and corrosion, Corelube’s products significantly increase the lifespan of wire ropes, thereby saving the cost of replacing them.
Increased Safety: Well-maintained wire ropes are less susceptible to breakage, reducing safety hazards and encouraging an environment that is safer for workers.
Better equipment performance Wire ropes which are clean and lubricated perform more efficiently and decrease the energy use. They wear less on the equipment.
Lower downtime : Regular maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns of equipment. This minimizes downtime, and helps to ensure that the operation is running smoothly.
