One of the best-performing mining ropes, Minesform 8/ 8PVF combines the advantages of 8-strand ropes and plastic filling – more fatigue resistance, more points of contact, reduced wear, and more.

  • More flexible construction increases fatigue resistance
  • Much better contact conditions compared to 6-strand ropes
  • Better contact enables extended abrasion & fatigue life
  • Operates at low stress levels, with longer bending fatigue life
  • Smooth surface of compacted ropes improves contact & reduces wear on both sheave and rope
  • Better inner strand contact due to plastic impregnation (PI)
  • PI improves resistance to shock loading
  • Improved fatigue on rope life due to PI
  • Plastic keeps internal lubricant intact, and keeps out dust
  • With locked lubrication, increased safety with PI

Typical applications :

Shovel machines, Dragline machines
