1.0 Introduction
The VIPER MINI MKII Wire Rope Lubricator is an Australian designed and built
lubricator for wire rope sizes from 6mm (1/4”) to 36mm (1 7/16”). 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 Mini MKII WRL improves operator safety and
reduces the environmental impact of wire rope lubrication for any size operation.
1.1 Key features of the Viper Mini MKII WRL include:
1. Viper collar constructed from high grade aluminium with a high visibility
corrosion resistant coating.
2. Unique polyurethane seal design provides largest pressure contact area to
ensure maximum lubricant penetration.
3. Durable and wear resistant polyurethane seals last thousands of meters in
normal service.
4. Seal size range to cater for rope sizes 6mm to 36mm.
5. The Viper Mini MKII Standard Kit: 50:1 grease pump delivers lubricant at
up to 2.9kg per minute and pressures up to 5,000 psi.
The Viper Mini MKII High Speed Kit: 45:1 grease pump delivers lubricant
at up to 4.5kg per minute and pressures up to 5,000 psi.
6. Global distribution network which provides local customer support.
