Advantages of 8 strand and plastic filled wire rope (EP8XK36WS-IWRC)

The mining industry is known for having some of the most diverse, difficult and demanding rope applications in the world.
Aulone can supply a wide range of wire rope constructions to provide the right combination of wear and fatigue resistance,strength and other properties to meet these severe service conditions.
The wire rope constructions provided for the mining industry are specifically designed for the types of loading, external wear, bending and vibrational stresses to which these ropes are subjected.
Guaranteed breaking load: A sample of each wire rope is tested to destruction to confirm that the published guaranteed minimum breaking load is achieved.
Excellent resistance to fatigue, wear and abrasion: confirmed by laboratory testing and field experience.
Excellent service life
Fully lubricated
Worldwide distribution network with full technical support.

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 rope 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 filled ropes keeps the internal lubricant intact and keeps out dirt and dust.
The plastic filled ropes increase safety by providing a clean working environment (locked lubrication inside the rope).
Most suitable for Dragline Hoist Ropes & Shovel Hoist Ropes.
