1.0 Introduction
The VIPER Mid MKII Wire Rope Lubricator is an Australian designed and built
lubricator for wire rope sizes from 6mm (1/4”) to 36mm to 67mm (2-5/8”). It
provides fast and effective single pass lubrication of wire ropes, eliminating the
slow and arduous task of manual lubrication. Lubrication of wire ropes with the
Viper system provides superior protection against corrosion and fretting wear by
forcing lubricant into the core of the wire rope while also coating the outer
strands. The use of the Viper WRL MKII improves operator safety and reduces
the environmental impact of wire rope lubrication for any size operation.
1.1 Ke y features of the Viper Mid MKII WRL include:
1. Viper collar constructed from high grade aluminium with a high visibility
corrosion resistant coating.
2. New Viper collar is 32% lighter than the original Viper unit and
incorporates cast carry handles for easier handling.
3. Unique polyurethane seal design provides largest pressure contact area to
ensure maximum lubricant pen etr ati o n.
4. Durable and wear resistant polyurethane seals last thousands of meters in
normal service.
5. Seal and scraper size range to cater for rope sizes 6mm to 67mm.
6. High pressure high flow 45:1 grease pump delivers lubricant at up to 4.5kg
per minute and pressures up to 5,500 psi.
7. Global distribution net work which provides local customer support.
