ADVANCED SPOOLING TECHNOLOGY LEBUS KNOWS HOW … RENOWNED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD FOR ITS EXPERIENCE AND OUTSTANDING SPOOLING TECHNOLOGY – LEBUS WILL HELP YOU WIND UP ALL YOUR PROBLEMS.

THE ORIGINAL LEBUS SPOOLING SYSTEM A SYSTEM PROVES ITSELF In 1937 Frank L. LeBus Sr., a supplier of equipment to the The success of LEBUS wire rope spooling systems has been oilfields of Texas, USA, patented the use of a groove bar on proven over many years, in many different applications and hoisting drums to guide the spooling of rope. conditions. It is now the spooling technology of choice in shipping and marine industries, for cranes, mining machinery, In the 1950s he refined the grooving geometry and come up logging, cable cars and general industrial hoisting. with the LEBUS Counterbalanced...

WHAT IS THE ORIGINAL LEBUS SPOOLING SYSTEM? LEBUS is the most advanced method of controlling the spooling of a wire rope onto a winch drum in multiple layers. Unlike other systems, with the LEBUS engineered grooving there is no practical limit with regard to: - Length of wire rope - Rope- and/or drum speed - Diameter of wire rope - Size of winch drum - Winch load- and/or rope pull HOW DOES THE LEBUS SYSTEM FUNCTION? The winch drums are provided with the special LEBUS half pitch to give a full pitch of movement per revolution. The winch drum is located inside the drilling rig and spools 426m of...

UNPARALLELED ADVANTAGES WITH LEBUS SAFETY DURING SPOOLING OPERATION EFFICIENT AND MONEY-SAVING SOLUTION - even and harmonious spooling even at high speed and The LEBUS system delivers economic benefits: with high loads - longer rope life means deferred replacement cost - no gapping, cutting in or pinching of the wire rope - LEBUS system enables efficient spooling in multiple layers, - drum and rope vibration is eliminated meaning that smaller winch drums can be used, saving on - safety both for machinery and for operational personnel. both materials and space - as the LEBUS system can be retrofitted...

SPACE SAVING WITH THE LEBUS SYSTEM CONDITION FOR PROPER FUNCTION OF LEBUS SYSTEMS FLEET ANGLE By multi-layering, it is now possible with LEBUS to acommodate a considerable length of rope on a relatively small drum. THIS MEANS: - Smaller drums – less construction weight - Compact design package compared to conventional systems. METHODS OF APPLICATION WITH THE LEBUS SYSTEM For practically any wire rope size and design, LEBUS can The LEBUS split sleeves can be fitted to an existing drum by The fleet angle – which is the angle of the rope between the The optimum fleet angle varies slightly according...

THE LEBUS FABRICATION AND DELIVERY PROGRAMME HOISTING / CRANES SPLIT SLEEVE (LEBUS OR HELICAL GROOVING) / PLAIN DRUM DESIGN split sleeves welded or bolted plain drum for installation of split APPLICATIONS OF LEBUS SYSTEMS plain drum equiped with split sleeves sleeves Wherever objects are being lifted or pulled by wire rope, you may very well be seeing LEBUS in action. You will find our applications, integrated in ship-cranes for faster hoisting, systems on construction sites in tower cranes and piling rigs, and in special ships for deepwater cable placement and on cranes of all types on oil rigs...
