In January 2023, Weilong provided Yantian International Container Terminals with 8 sets of nylon composite pulleys of the
WFHL750×230×106 model. These pulleys are used in the hoisting mechanism of RTG (Rubber-Tired Gantry Crane).
Product Highlights
- The nylon rope groove can extend the service life of the steel wire rope by more than one-third.
- After 5-year operation tests on RTG installation, the service life of the rope groove is 5-8 years (about 1-1.6 million TEUs).
- The weight is only two-thirds of that of a cast pulley, with a small transmission inertia.
- When it reaches the end of its service life, only the nylon rope groove needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire pulley.
- Patent number: ZL 2022 2 2853188.7. The material is modified and reinforced nylon, with a wear resistance of 6/40000 mm/h, a friction coefficient of ≤0.25, and a deflection temperature under load of ≥180°C.
At present, this batch of pulleys is in good operating condition, and all indicators meet the expectations.
