Wire ropes are the workhorses of numerous industries, quietly powering construction cranes, elevators and bridges. They must withstand harsh conditions and must support heavy weights. But, if they are not properly maintained, even the strongest wire rope could succumb to wear and tear resulting in expensive downtime and security hazards.
Corelube recognizes, with over forty years of service in the field how vital wire ropes are. Corelube is a company that designs and creates state-of-the art Wire Rope Lubrication Systems and Grease Systems as well as Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners. The result is that ropes function optimally for many years.
The two-pronged method of cleaning wire rope:
Wire ropes are able to be extended with two-pronged strategies: protect the wires’ core from wear and corrosion as well as protect the exterior from harsh environmental elements and conditions.
Internal Protection: Corrosion, the unspoken enemy of wire cords. Moisture, contaminants and contamination can get into the outer rope’s strands leading to internal corrosion that weakens its core. Corelube’s Wire Rope Lubrication Systems deliver an exact amount of lubricant directly into the core, forming a protective shield against corrosion, and reducing internal friction.
Exterior Defense: The exterior wire rope’s strands are exposed to a wide range of challenges, including abrasion, dirt, and extreme weather. If left unchecked, the elements mentioned above can cause wear and tear that can lead to the rope’s failure. Corelube’s Wire Rope Cleaning Systems and Groove Cleaners remove dirt, debris and old grease, thus preparing the surface to ensure proper lubrication. This ensures optimal performance of the lubricant, but also early detection and prevention of issues like worn strands, or broken strands.
