Descriptiono The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator is a unique method of

automatically lubricating wire ropeso Utilizing a high pressure collar it delivers grease into the

core of the wire ropes while providing a thin grease film, outer coating

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

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

o Used in conjunction with a high Quality Coating Grease Rope Lubricant, customers realize significant increases in wire rope life of up to 300%.

Manual Rope Lubrication Limitations

o Labor intensive - use of gloves, brushes or ragso Machinery downtime associated with lubrication of ropeso Extremely messy with significant lubricant wastage

o Lube wastage costs money and affects environmento Manual lubrication typically only coats outer wireso HS&E issues

• Safety concern for workers due to broken strands• 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

Manual Lubrication of Wire Ropes

Cost Saving to users!

Example: Dredge operator in Indiao Currently ropes are replaced every 12 months due to corrosion.

• Ropes cost $20,000 US • Replacement down time 24 hours at a cost of $15,000 US

o If by correctly lubricating the ropes we can increase rope life by 6 months -

• This will reduce rope change over rate by 30% or save 30% of the cost of change over.

o $20,000 +$15,000=$35,000 x 30% = $10,500.00 saving in only 18 months.

• This does not include labour to change the rope or the labour and down time to Manually Lubricate the Ropes.

Viper Features & Benefitso Single Pass Wire Rope Lubrication

• Simplifies and speeds up the rope lubricating processo Eliminates Manual Greasing

• Safer for staff, reduced lubricant usage, less leakage and messo Higher Pressure / Higher Flow Grease Pump

• Provides grease penetration, displaces moisture from rope core and total coverage, even for large ropes

o Fast & Efficient Rope Lubrication• Reduced downtime associated with rope lubrication, which

improves equipment availability• Speeds of up to 2,000 metres/hour

o Able to Lubricate all Major Rope Sizes• The Viper Mk II can lubricate rope sizes from 8mm (5/16”) to

67mm (2 5/8”) diameter• The new Viper Maxi will lubricate ropes up to 160mm (6

5/16”) diameter

- No Mess -

How it Works!o Grease is delivered to the Viper Mk II aluminium collar from

a high pressure / volume grease pump at up to 5000PSI.o The Collar contains polyurethane seals which seal against

the wire rope allowing the grease time to penetrateo Scrapers at each end of the collar help to remove old

lubricant while also flattening broken wires and protecting the seals

o Grease flow is adjusted via a high pressure control valve on the outlet of the grease pump

o Wire ropes are pulled through the collaro Any excess lubricant is collectedo Use of a Viper Rope Cleaner (VRC) will remove old lubricant

and dirt from the rope, improving the lubrication process

What makes Viper MK II Unique?

o Viper Mk II Collar: • Constructed from high grade, cast aluminium with a robust

protective coating.• The Mk II Collar comes complete with all SS hardware.• 32% lighter than the original Viper collar, the Mk II design

incorporates in-built handles making it easy to carry and install by 1 person

o Viper Grease Pump:• A specifically designed, high flow grease pump matched to the

requirements of the Viper Mk II.• Flow rates of 5kg / minute possible at up to 385 bar

What makes Viper MK II Unique?o Special Seal design:

• Larger area of contact with the rope than any other lubricator.

• Increased rope Dwell time in the collar.• Flexible ribbing to allow for rope diameter

imperfectionso Interference fit instead of exact fit.

• Provides a better in field result where wires are stretched.

o Seals work the lubricant into the core of the Wire Rope• Unlike some designs that just rub lubricant onto the

surface.o Robust seal construction

• Excellent durability, wear resistance and flexibility

o Viper Rope Cleaner (VRC): • The VRC enables the removal of contamination or built up old

lubricant from the wire rope prior to lubrication• Improves the effectiveness of the lubrication process.

Specialist Applications• Viper Internal Wiper System

o removes excess lubricant within the valleys of the rope while being lubricated with Viper.

• Ideal in environment sensitive areas • Ropes that are used in static applications requiring smooth coating

with no build up within the valleys

• Viper Spreader Systemo Used for solid strand type cables/ropes that are used in high tension concrete construction
