(PRWEB) November 15, 2013 -- The Viper Wire Rope Lubricator MK II provides fast and effective lubrication of wire ropes at speeds up to 2,000 metres per hour.

It eliminates the slow and labour-intensive task of manual lubricant application, at the same time achieving more thorough results by forcing lubricant under pressure right through to the wire rope core.

The Viper Mk II boasts:

  • new Hi Visibility Aluminium Collar – 32% lighter and easier to use
  • cast handles in the collar - Allows “one person” operation of Viper MkII
  • purpose built Viper High volume, High pressure grease pump – All rope sizes with one pump

With the success of the Viper Wire Rope Lubricator, manufacturers Lubrication Engineers Australia announce the much anticipated Viper Mk II Wire Rope Lubricator launch.

  • safer for staff, reduced lubricant usage, less leakage and mess
  • Viper kit includes a high pressure/high flow grease pump
  • provides grease penetration and displaces moisture from the rope core
  • reduces downtime associated with rope lubrication which improves equipment availability
  • ropes cleaned and lubricated at speeds of up to 2,000 metres per hour
  • lubricates all major rope sizes, Viper MkII lubricates rope from 8mm (5/15”) to 67mm (2-5/8”) while the Viper Maxi MkII will lubricate up to 165mm (6-9/32”)
