BRIDON #2 THE HERZOG 1088/32 CLOSER
Bridon International Ltd is the world leading specialist in the manufacture of wire and rope solutions for the most demanding applications. Bridon operates eleven manufacturing units worldwide with market focused technical and sales offices, supported by a global network of agents and distributors.
The Herzog 1088/32 Closer is one of the world's largest rope closing machines. This machine takes up to 32 huge bobbins of strands and twists them together to form massive ropes. The machine consists of a large rotary base onto which 32 bobbins are loaded. Each bobbin contains a strand of twisted fibre. The strands are typically 1 inch in diameter. The strands are all combined and fed through the eye of the machine. The rope is made by pulling the combined strands through the eye at the same time, interleaving the strands as they rotate on the bed. It is like a giant maypole. The new rope is tensioned over large overhead capstans and wound on to a large take off reel.
