The Wire Rope Groove Cleaner is designed to remove old grease & contaminants from the valleys of a wire rope.
Corelubes wire rope groove cleaners are custom made to fit the helical contour of your wire rope, round or triangular swaged strand. Note: A round stranded wire rope cleaner will not fit a triangular swaged wire rope. Because our groove cleaners fit the helical contour of your wire rope they remove far more grease and contaminates than any other groove cleaners available. Removing old grease from between the strands of your wire rope is recommended to enable new lubricant penetration and inspection of the wire rope.

The Spiral Brushes are designed to remove loose and embedded contaminants from wire ropes. The Steel Spiral Brushes will remove contaminants from the surface and valleys of the wire rope.

Rope Cleaners in Action
The photos below show a new wire rope being cleaned of excess lubricant. The customer did not want the problem of excess lubricant dripping & flinging onto the deck of the vessel due to an over greased wire rope. Over greasing is one of the major problems with all high pressure grease applicators, due to the fact they fill in the valleys solid with grease. This is why we developed our BOS Lubricator.
Before
The wire ropes shown above were coated with the same transitional lubricant.
After
The wire ropes shown above were coated with the same transitional lubricant.
