beyond anything www.kiswire.com Compacted towing ropes By compacting towing ropes the resistance to crushing improves substantially. Especially on multi layer drums, wire ropes could interlock between the different layers. By compacting a wire rope, one makes the surface of the outer layers (outer wires) of the rope more flat. This flatter surface leaves the rope with less grip to get hold of. Consequently, layers slide more smooth along each other. Besides, compacted ropes perform better on the surface pressure issue and brings consequently a higher resistance to fatigue. ALUMAR ® aluminised towing lines The aluminizing of steel wire and steel wire ropes is made by KISWIRE under the brand name ALUMAR ® . We apply this technology for about 10 years now, it started in 1999. Initially, the ALUMAR technology was developed for products applied in the aviation and car industry – the core demand was to extend the life time of the wires by sustaining the steel wire quality ! Apart from many different kinds of improvement we could establish in this respect, it was obvious that an important improvement was to be made by protecting the wires from corrosion as long as possible. The ALUMAR zinc/aluminium coating was developed as an alternative for the regular galvanizing of wire. Many tests have been done in the meantime, showing that the ALUMAR wires stay corrosion free 3,8 times longer than galvanized products. Third party Salt Spray Tests are available. The offshore industry, both oil and gas as well as the towing and fishing industry, could benefit from ALUMAR ropes substantially, as sea water is a corrosive environment. Towing line maintenance For a perfect conservation of wire ropes and maintenance in harsh environments, it is recommended to protect the rope from corrosion by providing the rope with a special sea water resistant lubricant. Wire rope lubricants are applied to smoothen rope bending and axial torsion as well. A smooth contact between rope and sheave or drum is enhanced by rope lubricants too. Towing Lines
