Chains and Wire Ropes
| Advanced Chain Technologies | ||
ACT manufacturers forged and cast flight bars for armoured face conveyors and beam stage loaders for longwall mining. |
The Scorpion range of longwall shearer cable handling (Bretby) systems are universally acknowledged as the world standard. |
ACT is a leading manufacturer of longwall conveyor chain, associated connectors and Enorm grade 100 lifting chain and fittings. |
As China, the US and Eastern Europe are making greater demands on our UK facility, ACT is expanding its longwall chain and flight bar manufacturing capabilities. |

| CASAR | ||
In a conventional rope, an external load creates a moment which tries to untwist the rope and rotate the load. A rotation-resistant CASAR special wire rope such as the Starlift does not show any tendency to untwist even when loaded to the safe working load of the application. |
The most effective remedy against birdcaging is to use a CASAR Special Wire Rope with an internal plastic layer. By sealing the core, the plastic traps lubricant and ensures a maintenance free core with lifetime lubrication. |
Compacted strands increasing the fill factor of the rope elements |
A large number of strands increasing the metallic area of the rope and offering a smoother contact at both drum and sheaves. |
Parallel lay leads to a more compacted rope construction. |
