Study on the Technical Condition of the Sheave Wheels in the Hoist Tower of Slanic Prahova Salt Mine

This paper approaches aspects concerning the technical and functional degradation of the sheave wheels in the hoist tower, which determines the need for replacing the whole operational group through designing and machining, so that it might provide the increase of the safe functioning of the hoist system. With these in view, modern investigation analyses have been employed together with calculi so that the results were well grounded and allowed the devising and designing of new solutions, able to meet the concept of functionality and modernity. The settling of the previously mentioned issue appears to be applicable to other similar situations.
