Product Description:

Balance wire ropes are specially used for mine hoisting systems. They connect the two ends of the mine skip to balance the weight of the main hoisting ropes during lifting and lowering operations.

This product features high breaking force, good flexibility, excellent fatigue resistance and stable performance. It can effectively reduce the load fluctuation of the hoist drum, lower power consumption and extend the service life of the main hoisting ropes.

Our balance steel wire ropes are manufactured in strict accordance with mining industry standards, suitable for vertical shaft mines and heavy-duty hoisting conditions.

Features:

The mine hoist balance tail rope is designed to balance the dead weight of main hoisting ropes in vertical shaft hoisting systems.

• It eliminates the variable weight difference of main ropes between ascending and descending conveyances, minimizing peak load on the hoist.
• Power consumption is reduced, and the required rated power of the hoist can be optimized.
• Smoother hoisting movement with lower dynamic impact, which improves safety of mine hoisting operation.
• Reduced alternating stress on main hoisting ropes and related components, achieving longer service cycle of the hoisting system.
• High flexibility, good torsion resistance and corrosion resistance. It can withstand continuous heavy load and harsh underground mining conditions.

Applications:

Main application fields:

1. Vertical shaft coal mines for raw coal lifting
2. Underground metal mines (iron, copper, gold mines) for ore and waste rock hoisting
3. Non-metal underground mines
4. Deep shaft heavy-load hoisting projects

Application notes: Tail ropes are exposed to harsh underground environments with moisture, mine water and abrasive particles. Therefore, the rope structure and surface protection must match the actual mine conditions to resist corrosion and wear.

Customization:

We provide customized balance wire rope (mine tail rope) solutions for vertical shaft mine hoists according to customers’ actual mine working conditions.

Customizable parameters:

• Rope diameter, unit mass and breaking load
• Rope construction: non-rotating / low-torsion structure
• Galvanized or ungalvanized options for corrosion resistance
• Steel grade selection based on required tensile strength
• Length cutting to meet on-site installation requirements
• Special packaging for underground transportation

Our technical team can support design consultation. We will recommend suitable rope structure to match your hoisting system, skip/cage load, shaft depth and underground environment. All customized products comply with international mining wire rope standards.

Packing and Shipping:

Proper packaging is essential for mine balance tail rope to maintain rope performance before installation. Our packaging design takes sea freight, land transport and underground mine handling into consideration.

1. Reel selection The wire rope is coiled on heavy-duty wooden reels or steel reels. Reels are reinforced to withstand stacking and hoisting loads.
2. Anti-corrosion & waterproof protection The rope surface is wrapped with plastic film first, then covered by waterproof tarpaulin. This protects the rope from rain, moisture and contaminants during ocean and overland transportation.
3. Marking & documentation Permanent labels are fixed on each reel, showing product name, diameter, linear mass, total length, gross weight, batch number and standard reference. Test certificates are packed separately for customs and site inspection.
4. Fastening Steel strapping is used to fix the rope coil tightly on the reel to prevent unwinding, shifting and abrasion.
5. Custom packaging service We can adjust packaging according to container loading requirements and special export standards.
