QUALITY LUBRICATION MADE EASY
Industrial equipment such as cranes, anchors, elevators, shovels, suspension and structures all have wire ropes which are important to their operation. They are designed for different applications in usually harsh environmental conditions.
Typically wire rope strands rub against each other, effectively causing stretching, bending, fretting, fatigue and loss of strength. They need lubrication to deal with bending stresses, high groove pressures, moisture and corrosion that can damage the integrity of the wire rope strands.
Filter Focus offers products and services that include lubricant and lubricator supply, application and consultation. It distributes Stran / CORE, which is used in conjunction with Core-Lube, an automated wire rope lubricator, which is the first ever product that doesn’ t require pressure to distribute the lubricant into the wire rope. Stran / CORE includes additives that fight corrosion, wear and can displace water in the rope’ s core.
The grease is supplied in a selfcontained unit and the Core-Lube is used to pump it to the collar using brushes on the inside to ensure that the grease is evenly distributed along the wire rope. It is able to
accommodate wire ropes from 3.2mm to 43mm in size.
