Built for Tough Environments

In industrial mining, cables face extreme conditions, including high mechanical stress, abrasion, and exposure to harsh chemicals. The Type 455 Rubber Mining Cable is designed to excel in these environments, making it a go-to solution for a variety of mining applications.

Advanced Material Composition

The Type 455 cable is crafted from a blend of high-performance materials that enhance its strength and durability:

PCP (Polychloroprene): Known for its resistance to abrasion and chemicals, PCP contributes to the cable’s robustness, extending its service life and reducing maintenance needs.

Kevlar: Adds exceptional tensile strength, making the cable capable of handling high tension without stretching or breaking. Kevlar’s inclusion is especially valuable for reeling applications where constant movement and stress are factors.

CPE (Chlorinated Polyethylene): Offers excellent resistance to weathering, chemicals, and oils, ensuring the cable withstands exposure to harsh conditions.

EPR (Ethylene Propylene Rubber): Provides superior insulation and flexibility, which is crucial for high voltage and dynamic applications. EPR’s properties make the cable resilient against temperature fluctuations and mechanical stress.

Compliance with Australian Standards

The Type 455 Rubber Mining Cable is produced and tested in accordance with rigorous Australian standards. Australia, being a major mining country, has some of the highest standards for mining equipment and components.

This ensures that the cable not only meets but exceeds the performance and safety requirements expected in the industry.

Superior Features Compared to Type 450 Cable

While the Type 450 cable is also a reliable choice, the Type 455 offers several enhancements that make it a superior option for industrial mining applications:

Enhanced Durability

The Type 455 cable’s construction includes advanced materials that provide better resistance to environmental factors compared to the Type 450.

The additional Kevlar reinforcement in Type 455 offers significantly higher tensile strength, making it better suited for applications involving high mechanical stress and frequent movement.

Improved Flexibility and Performance

EPR in the Type 455 cable ensures greater flexibility and improved performance in dynamic applications.

This is particularly important for trailing cables that must withstand bending and twisting during operation. The flexibility of the Type 455 cable reduces the risk of cable fatigue and extends its lifespan.

Higher Abrasion and Chemical Resistance

The Type 455 cable’s use of PCP enhances its resistance to abrasion and chemicals, providing a longer service life in harsh environments.

This makes it an excellent choice for applications where the cable is exposed to rough handling, chemicals, or abrasive materials.

Superior Reeling Capabilities

For reeling applications, the Type 455 cable’s Kevlar reinforcement allows it to handle high tension and winding forces with ease. This makes it ideal for use in environments where cables are subject to constant reeling and unwinding, such as in draglines, shovels, and other mining machinery.

Versatile Applications

The Type 455 Rubber Mining Cable is suitable for a wide range of industrial mining applications:

Reeling Systems:

The cable’s strength and durability make it perfect for reeling systems that require reliable performance under high tension.

Trailing Applications:

With its flexibility and resistance to mechanical stress, the Type 455 is well-suited for trailing applications where the cable must move with the equipment and withstand constant bending.

Harsh Mining Environments:

Whether used in underground mining or surface operations, the cable’s robust construction ensures it performs reliably even in challenging conditions.

Maximizing Operational Efficiency

Using the Type 455 Rubber Mining Cable in your mining operations can significantly enhance operational efficiency.

Its ability to withstand harsh conditions and perform reliably under stress reduces downtime and maintenance needs, leading to greater productivity and cost savings.

Installation and Maintenance

The installation of the Type 455 cable is straightforward due to its flexibility and durability. Maintenance is minimized thanks to its robust construction, which reduces the likelihood of damage and extends the cable’s lifespan.

The Type 455 Rubber Mining Cable stands out as an exceptional choice for industrial mining applications, offering superior durability, flexibility, and performance compared to the Type 450 cable.

Its advanced material composition and compliance with Australian standards make it a reliable solution for the toughest mining environments. Invest in the Type 455 cable to enhance your mining operations with a high-performance, long-lasting cable that delivers unmatched reliability and efficiency.
