VIPER WRL Seals
The Viper Polyurethane Seal is the heart of Viper WRL Systems and effective lubrication. Its unique seal design and carefully tested polyurethane-blend material allows the lubricant to effectively penetrate into the core of wire ropes, where corrosion is most critical and often undetected.
Viper MKII Seals have also been field-tested and improved to be extremely durable and wear resistant, while retaining its flexibility to achieve best “grease massaging” effects into wire rope core. The Viper MKII Seals can last up to 12,000 – 15,000m of rope lubrication.
VIPER WRL Cleaner and Accessories
VIPER Scrapers
The Viper WRL Scraper plates enable safe entry of broken wires into the seal ensuring the rope and seal is not damaged.
Viper recommend that wire ropes be physically measured prior to ordering seals and scrapers as ropes in service may vary in size. Scrapers are supplied slightly larger than the actual wire rope size to allow for rope flexing.
VIPER Rope Cleaners
Viper Rope Cleaners enable the removal of contamination or built up old lubricant from the wire rope prior to lubrication, improving the effectiveness of the lubrication process via the Viper WRL. Viper Rope Cleaners (VRC’s) are available in left and right hand lay, to suit 6 and 8 strand ropes and other strand configurations on request. For certain types of wire ropes where the standard Viper Rope Cleaner is not suitable the Viper ‘Smooth Bore’ rope cleaner is available.
The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator is supplied as a complete package, with all of the components required to get you started. Simply order the kit and then select and order the seals and scrapers to suit the rope size to be lubricated.
