CusHion-pAC™ 8 ropes for exCAVAtorAppLiCAtions

Open pit mines are renowned for having some of the most difficultequipment operating conditions found anywhere in the world. WireRope Industries offers a full line of specialized products and servicesto meet these challenges. Tested and designed for superiorperformance, our Minex line includes market leaders such asCushion-Pac™ 8.

• A well proven Dy-Pac® 8 strand construction increases strength,improves rope fatigue life, and has better resistance to drumcrushing.

• Thermal plastic enhancement significantly increases core protection and strand support, resists infiltration of abrasives and moisture, and maximizes surface contact area.

• Specially formulated lubrication increases rope performance,reduces environmental impact due to fly-off, and results in cleaner operating equipment.

• Calibrated cut lengths, high efficiency ferrule beckets, and hairpinwinding ensure correct installation and reduced down-time.

• Greater rope contact area virtually eliminates drum and sheave corrugations.

• Smooth sheave and drum profiles enhance rope operation and reduce maintenance costs.

• Reduced overall operating costs as a result of significantly enhancedrope performance.

• Reduced machine down-time as a result of fewer and more efficientrope change-outs.

• Reduced sheave and drum wear resulting in lower machinemaintenance costs.

• Reduced purchase requirements resulting in lower inventory costs.

• An exclusive computer finite element analysis (FEA) program simulates rope loading and ensures that our engineers design ropes with optimal characteristics.

• Specially selected wire tensile grades enhance wear resistance.

• 8 strand construction increases flexibility, better distributes load pressures, and improves rope fatigue life.

• Patented plastic enhanced cores and inter-strand worming maximize core protection and strand support, equalize strand loading, and resist infiltration of abrasives and moisture.

• Specially formulated lubrication enhances wear properties, increases rope performance, and reduces environmental impact due to fly-off.

• Greater rope contact area reduces drum and sheave corrugations.

• Calibrated cut lengths and custom pad eyes simplify installation and reduce down-time.

• Strand manufacturing up to 4 1/2” (114 mm) diameter ensures that large pendant requirements can be met.

• Prestretch and socketing capabilities include one of the largest facilities in the world with a 960 ft (295 m) long, 800 000 lbs (365 000 kg) capacity prestretch bed and 40 ft.

(12.2 m) socketing tower.

• Accurate high quality pendants are supplied consistently by incorporating quality control processes including socket inspection and testing, under tension length markings and precision cuts, and specially designed socketing equipment.

• Pendants can be correctly positioned and efficiently installed with special length markings and custom manufactured transport reels.

• Equipment operation and safety is enhanced with the low stretch, equally balanced support of strand pendants.

• Greater metallic area and higher strength-to-diameter ratios reduce stretch and increase service life when compared to rope pendants.
