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
