Viper wire rope lubricator for Ship Lifters

Viper WRL have designed a system to greatly increase the safety of operators and improve the overall effectiveness of the lubrication process. 

The ship lifter will have multiple wire ropes connecting the support platform to each of the winch drums. As the ropes are partially operating in salt water, it is important that they are effectively lubricated to provide the protection needed.
Traditionally completed by hand, the manual lubrication process can take several hundred man hours to complete, limiting operation of the lifter and is also not nearly as effective as using a modern, pressure lubricator system.

SUPERIOR PROTECTION OF WIRE ROPES - 6mm to 44mm

The Viper Mini MK 3 provides a light weight, easy to use option for smaller or hard to access wire ropes. It cleans and lubricates wire ropes quickly, efficiently and safely. Suitable for wire ropes with a diameter between 6mm to 44mm, the Viper Wire Rope Mini MK 3 System lubricates ropes at up to 2000mt/hour.The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator provides grease penetration, moisture displacement and total coverage by forcing lubricant into the core of the rope.

Viper Seals

The Viper Polyurethane Seal is the heart of Viper WRL Systems and effective lubrication. Its unique seal design and carefully tested polyurethane-blend material allows the lubricant to effectively penetrate into the core of wire ropes, where corrosion is most critical and often undetected. 

Viper MK 3 Seals have also been field-tested and improved to be extremely durable and wear resistant, while retaining its flexibility to achieve best “grease massaging” effects into wire rope core. The Viper MK 3 Seals can last up to 12,000 – 15,000m of rope lubrication.

It is recommended that wire ropes be physically measured prior to ordering seals as ropes in service can stretch and sizes may vary
