Tel. No.: 91-651-2265243

 

Chhotanagpur Rope Works Private Limited was established as an ancillary to Usha Martin Limited as partnership firm in 1978. The promoters being Mr. Siddharth Jhawar and Mr. Anurag Jhawar sons of Mr. Arun Kumar Jhawar. The manufacturing was initially done to meet the requirement of fiber cores for UMIL’s steel ropes. However, by 1981 CRW started selling its products to other wire rope companies in India and very soon captured nearly 75 % of the home demand. CRW started to export its Ropes in the early 90’s and has now become the only company in India to have exported its ropes to all the containments. 

 

The directors are well versed in this field and have more than 25 years experiences an ISO 9001:2000 certified company, CRW also holds ISI licenses for SISAL, manila and Polypropylene Rope.

 

IT exports quality products across the world and plan to set up a new plant to meet its growing export commitments.

 

AS PER WEBSITE

 

With their experience, knowledge and skill they will endeavour to understand and meet customer's requirements so that the wire rope manufacturer also achieves superior results by use of their Fibre Core entre.

An ISO 9001:2000 Company

 

AT CRW

Fibre cores are a sophisticated extension of the fibre rope making process. Stringent specifications have to be achieved. The fibre core rope has to be made suitable to the end application of the Steel Rope of which it is an integral part. The technology of fibre core rope making begins from the fibre selection, yarn spinning, lubrication and final core rope construction. This springs from a deep understanding of the subject. This technology is wedded to the skills of making a good rope itself.

Understanding this subject and translating it into a suitable product is the real technology of this industry.

At CRW the opportunity of working closely with the Steel Rope Industry in different countries, has given us the exposure to the finer aspects of needs of steel rope makers world-wide.

CRW is probably the only Company which has had the opportunity to deal with Wire Rope Manufacturers across all continents from Australia, Asia, Europe, North & South America and Africa as also Wire Rope making experts from across the world.

Reliable Fibre Core for Wire Rope

At CRW they have understood the subtleties of constructing Fibre Cores for varied end applications.

Their products include Cores from Sisal / Polypropylene / Jute (Dry or Prelubricated).

Fibre Core with tolerance on diameter and density of +2%, - 2% for Elevator applications i.e. highly uniform cores for Steel Wire Rope are their speciality. These are being appreciated the world over by Wire Rope makers. These can be constructed in 3 or 4 Strand construction with right lay or left lay.

Linear densities (weight per metre) can be made to suit customer preferences. Soft, Medium and Hard cores are easily constructed.

Prelubricated Cores with fluid lubricants and hot melt lubrication involving process of application directly onto the fibre at the spinning stage or applying lubricant during rope making.
They are familiar with lubricants like Ironsides, Cortex, Nyrosten (T-55, N113, N65, etc.), Elaskon, Amoalin, N55, KR10, etc.

Application:

In Steel Wire Ropes Elevator, Oil Drilling, Marine, Aerial, Winding, Friction (Koepe) Winders, Haulage, Logging and General Engineering.

Construction of Cores:

3 or 4 or 4+ 1 strands - right hand lay or left (as required). In 4 Strand Cores center strand is inserted to support the outer strands, by mutual agreement.

Linear Density: Runnage to suit customers specs.

Diameters:

From 4 mm upwards in diameter steps as required by customer or steps of 0.25 mm. Tolerance : as agreed mutually.

Lay: Can be right or left hand from 2.8 x D upto 4.0 x D.

Presentation and Packing:

65 kg / 150 kg / 300 kg Net or more on sea-worthy sturdy pinewood and steel combination reels. On cross wound coils up to 100 kgs. Rope splices not allowed. Splices in strands are allowed.

Other Products:

They also make SISAL, MANILA & JUTE Ropes to BS, DIN & Customer Specification 6 mm to 40 mm Dia.

Total control is excercised from fibre selection to spinning, stranding and rope making.

Tests which are compulsorily conducted:

  1. Chemical condition of Fibre, Yarn and Rope at different stages.
  2. Yarn size control and verification.
  3. Diameter and density checks for uniformity and correct density.
  4. Lubricant absorption in the rope.
  5. Checks of lay length and lay angle.
  6. All test samples are drawn under tension specified by ISO 4345 and chemical and physical analysis is done under procedures specified by ISO and DIN.

Some customers require a compression test to be carried out for which facilities have been created, to meet customer's specifications.

They have been able to unify at CRW all the skills and facilities for producing world class products which is reflected in growing export shipments to diverse destinations across the globe.

One of their greatest strength is their own spinning facility for hard fibres like Sisal & Manila and own Extrusion line for Polypropylene fibre film and monofilament. This gives us total flexibility and access to inputs of choice.

The technology adopted is the knowledge of correct core construction, in process control and building up the adequate facilities to achieve a high standard in quality. To the best of their knowledge this kind of a total approach is not available anywhere as most other companies manufacture a wide variety of products whereas they concentrate on a specialized field as theirs.
