Rope Selection
Rope Recommendations
for Double Drum and BMR Winders
Triangular (Flattened) Strand Constructions: 6x26, 6x27, 6x28,
6x29, 6x30, 6x31, 6x32, 6x33, 6x34
Provides a flat strand surface on sheave and drum areas, exposing 4x
more wearing surface than round strand, reducing abrasion and applied
unit pressure
Compact design resists crushing and distortion under heavy loads
Produces 10 percent greater strength over a standard 6-strand rope
Reduces wear on sheaves and drums

Turboplast M




8-strand construction with compacted outer strands


Fully lubricated
Plastic layer between steel core and outer strands
High breaking force
Good resistance against drum crushing

Duroplast M




8-strand construction with compacted outer strands


Fully lubricated
Plastic layer between steel core and outer strands
High breaking force
Very resistant to abrasion

Turbofit M



Swaged 8-strand rope made with compacted outer strands


Fully lubricated
Plastic layer between steel core and outer strands
High breaking load and very good resistance to drum crushing

Rope Selection Considerations


for Double Drum and BMR Winders
On Blair or Double drum hoists with two or more layers of winding
triangular strand has been used with good success.
When fatigue and abrasion become an issue Union can make triangular
strand constructions by varying the number of wires in each strand from
26 (more abrasion resistant) up to 36 (more fatigue resistant) to help reduce
these concerns.
When the frequency of performing drum end cuts becomes an issue,
our Casar Turboplast M construction can help reduce the frequency of
performing this task.
When removing torque at the collar level is a problem Casar Turbofit M hoist
ropes can reduce this by 90 percent.
When stretch and torque of a hoist rope are major concerns Casar
Turboplast M with its plasticised solid steel core can substantially reduce
these issues.

Rope Selection
Rope Selection Considerations
for Koepe Friction Winders
Installed in a ground or tower mounted configuration.
The number of head and balance rope configuration usually varies from 2 ropes to 6 ropes depending on the
duty cycle required.
For depths exceeding 900 m, it is critical that non-spin or rotation-resistant constructions are used.
For free looping tail ropes, non-spin ropes with swivels attached to both ends are recommended.
For multi-rope winders, rope load balancing and equal driving sheave/drum circumferences are critical to
ensure good rope life.
Triangular strand hoisting ropes are used with good success in both tower mounted and ground mounted
configurations down to a hoisting depth of 1000 meters.

Rope Recommendations
for Shaft Sinking
NR Maxipact PPI
Rotation-resistant, high performance rope
All strands are compacted
High breaking force
Can be used with a swivel
Plastic Protected Impregnated (PPI)

Towerlift 15
Rotation-resistant
Compacted outer strands
Lang lay
High breaking force
Plastic Protected Impregnated (PPI) optional

Eurolift M
Specially designed core helps avoid crossovers between the strands of the
core, preventing internal rope destruction
Rotation resistant, flexible hoist rope
Compacted outer strands
Fully lubricated
High breaking force and very good resistance to drum crushing
Available in ordinary (regular) lay or lang lay

Starlift Plus M
Specially designed core helps avoid crossovers between the strands of the
core, preventing internal rope destruction
Rotation resistant, flexible construction
Compacted outer strands and a compacted steel core
Fully lubricated
High breaking force
Available in ordinary (regular) lay or lang lay

Rope Selection Considerations


for Shaft Sinking
As shafts become deeper, rotation resistance is critical
Corrosion resistance solutions are necessary to cope with harsh
environments
Resistance to bending fatigue and crushing

Rope Selection
Rope Recommendations
for Slope Hoisting
Triangular (Flattened) Strand
Provides a flat strand surface on sheave and drum
areas, exposing 4x more wearing surface than round
strand, reducing abrasion
Compact design resists crushing and distortion under
heavy loads
Produces 10 percent greater strength over a standard
6-strand rope
Reduces wear on sheaves and drums
Available with either fiber core or IWRC

Rope Selection Considerations


for Slope Hoists
26

Wider surface areas to decrease abrasion on sheaves


and drums
High breaking strength to handle increasing demands
Resistance to bending fatigue and crushing

Comparing true costs
At WireCo WorldGroup, we know it takes more than the right size
wire ropes to operate your mining equipment. It also takes the
right knowledge. In addition to providing the industrys best ropes,
our experts are there to help you every step of the way with the
support and training you need to get top performance and service
life from your investment, minimizing downtime and lowering the
overall cost of ownership.

Casar
Casar ropes have provided up to 550,000 cycles.
The mine saved over 25 M dollars and no
unplanned down time.
COULD THIS BE YOUR MINE?
We provide partnerships in rope performance.

These figures will vary between countries & rope


manufacturers.
Basic rope life Triangular strand 100,000 cycles. Casar
Turboplast up to 600,000 cycles.
The cost data will vary between mines depending on the
