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
Shiploaders are ideal Viper applications Viper in Use on Ships and Wharfs
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
