beyond anything www.kiswire.com Crushing and abrasion features By compacting our ropes the resis- tance to crushing improves substanti- ally. 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. Swivels Just to avoid safety risks with rotating loads when they are lifted, the idea of using swivels has arisen. Basically, the use of a swivel interferes with the regular behaviour of a rope in such a way, that it often distorts the rope construction, and causes premature rope failure. Hence, the use of swivels shall be avoided or used in consult with a wire rope engineer. Particularly, a swivel shall not be used when installing a rope. Then again, it is recommended to use a swivel on non rotating wire ropes. Sockets Many a rope is equipped with a rope termination. One of the most safe and secure rope terminations is a socket. The proper socket connection guarantees a 100% breaking load efficiency with the rope. Sockets come in 3 main types, i.e. the open spelter socket, the closed spelter socket and the special chain/rope socket, especially designed for the offshore industry. Apart from these regular products, sockets can be custom made for any special application. Today, most sockets are connected to the rope by casting them with a polyester based resin. ALUMAR ® aluminised ropes 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 fishing, could benefit from ALUMAR ropes substantially, as sea water is a corrosive environment. See specific catalogues of our low spin and non rotating Crane Ropes for detailed data. Kiswire is the largest wire rope producer in the world. Annually, about 130.000 tons of wire rope is delivered, worldwide. For decades, Kiswire is specializing in the development and production of wire rope. Meanwhile, the company has acquired a reputable and leading position in a great variety of markets, in literally all corners of the world. The offshore industry is one is a main market for Kiswire since 25 years, meanwhile. Technical Data Sheet 3
