wire rope industries pointe claire made in china

As part of this global approach and of the strategy of Bridon-Bekaert Ropes Group (BBRG) to improve its operational footprint, the company has decided to consolidate the North American ropes platform in the US and phase out the production activities in Pointe-Claire, Canada, by the end of May 2021.

All North American manufacturing and servicing activities will be centralized in Wilkes-Barre (Pennsylvania, US) and Oakland City (Indiana, US) and be extended with capacity additions and technological capabilities. This set-up has been designed to ensure long-term competitiveness by better leveraging scale, synergies, and efficiencies. In its future set-up, the company will continue to serve the customers of BBRG’s Canadian Wire Rope Industries (WRI) plant from other manufacturing sites in the US and Europe.

Wire Rope Industries (WRI) is a manufacturer of high-performance wire ropes for the mining industry. Since its formation in 1876, WRI has been at the forefront of product development, helping our customers to outperform with ropes that are designed to reduce their overall operating costs. WRI is certified to the ISO 9001 standard.

For the surface mining market, WRI specializes in hoist, crowd, retract and drag ropes used on shovels and draglines, as well as a full range of pendant assemblies.

For the underground mining market, WRI produces a full range of products for both Koepe and drum hoists, including full-lock coil, half-lock coil, flattened-strand and multi-strand ropes for hoisting and balance ropes, including the WRI patented cushion balance ropes.

For many years, the standard rope used on electric mining shovels has been an eight-strand, compacted, plastic-filled cushion rope. For customers looking to improve their operating efficiency, Cushion Pac Ultra (CPU) was developed to outperform any existing shovel rope on the market today.

CPU incorporates improved protection for the core of the rope while offering a plastic outer jacket for improved cleanliness and wear resistance. CPU has set performance records in both North and South America, and around the world.

Dragline excavators are known to be one of the most demanding rope applications in the world. WRI offers both six and eight-strand dragline ropes, based on customer preferences and operating conditions. The use of plastic coverings to protect the core has also been pioneered by WRI.

Following the successful introduction of CPU for shovel rope applications, we have now been able to obtain similar performance improvements using cushion ultra ropes on draglines. WRI can produce fully plasticized ropes up to 5in (diameter).

WRI operates among the largest stranders in the world and is capable of producing structural strand to ASTM A586, up to 6in in diameter. A state-of-the-art pre-stretching and socketing facility ensures that the exacting requirements of length accuracy and socket alignment are always met. For increased corrosion protection, pendant line ropes using Bezinal® wires with a zinc aluminum coating combination are also available.

Deep shaft mines require special underground mining ropes to safely and efficiently hoist personnel and materials from underground. Deeper shafts, higher payloads and higher speeds have resulted in changes that can impact on the safety factors used.

WRI produces a full range of products for use in underground mine hoisting, and has developed special underground ropes to overcome the obstacles that many mining companies face.

WRI has technical services staff to help customers with all wire rope application advice. We can offer advice to customers on rope selection, use and maintenance.

WRI is committed to the mining industry and offers a wide range of wire ropes for a variety of applications. Our investment in R&D has resulted in many unique solutions to wire rope problems, aimed at reducing the user’s overall operating costs.

WRI’s technology is backed by its parent company, Bekaert, one of the world’s largest producers of steel wire. Our manufacturing facilities are second to none. We are part of a group of companies with manufacturing facilities in Latin America, making the group one of the largest producers of wire ropes in the Americas.

Wire Rope Industries (WRI) is a manufacturer of high-performance wire ropes for the offshore industry, including drilling lines, riser tensioner lines, anchor lines and specialty rotation-resistant ropes for cranes.

Since its formation in 1876, WRI has been at the forefront of product development, helping our customers outperform with ropes that are designed to reduce their overall operating costs. WRI is certified to both API and ISO 9001, and certification to Lloyds and DNV is also available.

WRI’s drilling lines are available in a conventional six-strand design and achieve excellent mega-joule (ton-mile) goals. Where improved rope performance is required, drilling lines are also available in an eight-strand design to provide increased wear resistance and flexibility. Technical services staff are available to discuss these product characteristics and to help customers maximize their rope service life.

For the riser tensioner application, where the rope cycles continuously over sheaves, ropes with high flexibility and wear resistance are preferred. Ropes with eight strands, and a layer of plastic around the core for protection or fully plasticized ropes, are the preferred choice for those customers interested in extending their ton-cycle or ton-day goals. Care must be exercised when using a fully plasticized rope in a dead line anchor, but WRI’s technical services staff can assist with this issue.

WRI operates one of the largest wire rope closing machines in the world, capable of producing ropes up to 200mm diameter in lengths of 120t. For anchor lines, the wires are galvanized to withstand the highly corrosive offshore conditions. Ropes with enhanced corrosion protection, using Bezinal® wires with a zinc-aluminum coating combination, are also available.

For offshore crane applications, it is critical to use a rotation-resistant crane rope, which ensures the load does not spin when hoisted from the work boats. This anti-rotation feature is developed for cranes that use a single part line by using ropes with three layers, where the torque developed in the outer strand layer is counterbalanced by the torque developed by the internal strand layers. The outer strands are compacted to increase the breaking load and the wires are galvanized for corrosion protection.

Wire Rope Industries is the largest manufacturer of high-performance wire rope products in North America. For over 100 years, the company has been a leader in its field. With our knowledge and expertise, we have been able to refine the art of rope making into a science. We provide rope solutions for a wide variety of industrial applications, including general industrial and construction, forestry, mining, oil and gas, fishing and marine, elevator, and utilities industries, as well as for ski lifts, bridges, supported structures and the U.S. Navy.

Wire ropes can be seen everywhere around us, they are made of strands or bundles of individual wires constructed around an independent core, suitable for construction, industrial, fitness, commercial, architectural, agricultural, and marine rigging applications.

Wire rod is made from high carbon steel wires(0.35 to 0.85 percent carbon) in a hot rolling process of a required diameter, usually from 5.5mm to 8 mm.

Wire rod is drawn to the required diameter by the 1st drawing machine after descaling dust and rust, adding mechanical properties suitable for application.

Positioning the wires different or the same size lay in multiple layers and same direction, or cross lay and diameter is maintained by one-third of the rope size.

So in theory, it is very simple to manufacture wire ropes. However there are many more details that must be closely monitored and controlled, and this requires time and experienced personnel since it is a super complicated project you cannot imagine.
