January 21, 2015 - WireCo WorldGroup has introduced a drag rope that increases time intervals between resockets and end-for-ends, which are typical preventive maintenance procedures.
PowerMax PLUS rope uses new technology for increased wire toughness that improves abrasion resistance. Plastic enhancement protects the rope core from material intrusion and fatigue. The increased service life for PowerMax PLUS drag ropes minimizes cost of ownership and maximizes value.
Extensive field trials at coal mines in Wyoming, Texas, and South Africa have shown that PowerMax PLUS lasted more than twice as long as their previous drag ropes so they were able to increase the time between rope replacements. That means a better bottom line for the mine.
PowerMax PLUS is part of Union’s PowerMax PLUS family of products for drag ropes, which also includes PowerMax PFV PLUS, and PowerMax MD PLUS.
