SPECIAL MINING ROPES

ADVANTAGES OF 8 STRAND AND PLASTIC FILLED ROPES

• More flexible construction increases the fatigue resistance.
• More number of point contact for 8-strand rope than 6-strand rope increases the contact area with the sheave and drum grooves. These results in extended abrasion and fatigue life.
• Suitable for Dragline & Shovel Ropes.
• Unique process of compaction, improves inter wire contact, ensuring that the ropes will operate in lower stress level resulting in longer bending fatigue life.
• Smooth surface of compacted strand rope improves rope to sheave contact area leading to reduce wear on both, rope and sheave.
• The Plastic Impregnation cushions the strands and prevents inter strand contact and improves resistance to shock loading.
• Plastic filling extends rope life by reducing the impact of fatigue on rope life.
• Plastic filling ropes keeps the internal lubricant intact and keeps out dirt and dust.
• The plastic filled ropes increases safety by providing a clean working environment (locked lubrication inside the rope).
• Most suitable for Dragline Hoist Ropes & Shovel Hoist Rope.

NOTE : Compacted Valley Filled ropes are also available with 8 x 37SF, 8 x 43SF & 8 x 49SF Construction.
