Description

– The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator is a unique method of automatically lubricating wire ropes

– Utilizing a high pressure collar it delivers grease into the core of the wire ropes while providing a thin grease film outer coating

– Lubrication with the Viper protects the ropes against corrosion while also providing excellent lubrication of wire strands both internally and externally

– The use of the Viper reduces the labour required to lubricate wire ropes by up to 90%

– Used in conjunction with LE WireLife Coating Grease Rope Lubricant, customers realize significant increases in wire rope life up to 300%.

Manual Wire Rope Lubrication

– Very labour intensive use of gloves, brushes or rags

– Extremely messy with significant lubricant wastage

– Lube wastage costs money and affects environment

– Manual lubrication typically only coats outer wires

– HS&E issues

• Workers come into close contact with lubricant

• Working at heights to lubricate wire ropes

• Environmental contamination with lube dripping off ropes

• Excessive lubricant usage means more Environmental issues

Viper in Use on Ships and Wharfs

Shiploaders are ideal Viper applications

Viper Features & Benefits

– Robust construction suitable for Marine / Mining

– Easy to set up and use – kit contains all parts required

– Lubricates wire ropes 8mm / 5/16” to 64mm / 2 ½”

– Reduced labour requirement by up to 90%

– Less mess and lubricant wastage, lower rope lube costs

– Thorough lubricant penetration plus outer strand coating

– Safer for workers, less working at heights required

– Environmental contamination is reduced

– Minimal lubricant usage means less environmental issues

– Longer wire rope life, less equipment downtime

– Longer periods between wire rope re-lubrication

How it Works!

– Grease is delivered to the Steel collar via a high pressure grease pump at pressures up to 6,000psi

– The Collar contains polyurethane seals which seal against the wire rope allowing the grease time to penetrate

– Scrapers at each end of the collar remove old lubricant while also flattening broken wires and protecting the seals

– Grease application is adjusted via an air control valve which adjusts the grease pump speed

– Wire ropes are pulled through the collar

– Excess lubricant is returned to drum
