changes can be eliminated this is a signifi cant saving in terms of extra production (up to 120 extra hours) but each application is investigated on its merits and all operational factors are weighed up before a certain rope construction is chosen. Experts from Casar also assist the mine with a maintenance programme that is suited to each individual rope installation and encompasses


NDT inspections and rope life monitoring. However, the maintenance required is far less than the traditional rope constructions previously used so critical maintenance personnel are freed up for other duties on the mine site.


Casar has expanded its experience with


underground mines in Australia into other markets. It has about 25 installations in South Africa and further installations in Sweden, Russia, Canada and other countries. Roger Smith, senior consultant, Casar High


Tech Mining Ropes, states “We are continuing to innovate. T e next generation of mine winder ropes feature Kevlar cores and under laboratory conditions have achieved phenomenal results.” Smith adds: “T e new Turbolite hybrid ropes


have the potential to conservatively achieve cycles in excess of three times the current generation of Turboplast and Starplast ropes and also have the added benefi t of considerable weight reduction, which could lead to higher payloads and increased production.” ●
