The invention relates to a method for filling in a tension member in particular for conveyor belts, in particular a tension member which is configured as a steel cable. The method is intended to allow the full penetration of the tension member structure. Here, the method contains at least the following method steps: —introducing the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) of the strand (5) into the stranding head (1) of a stranding machine (10) and —partially or fully applying at least one coating agent to at least 50% of the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) of the strand (5) prior to the twisting of the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) to form a strand (5) or simultaneously with the twisting of the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) to form a strand (5) and —twisting the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) to form a strand (5), wherein at least 50% of the individual wires (2, 2′, 2″, 2′″, 2″″) have been provided with at least one coating agent, and —making a cable from at least one strand (5).

The method for manufacturing an individually sheathed strand comprises: conveying a group of metal wires through a die; upstream of the die, applying a first filler product to at least a first portion of the strand; upstream of the die, applying a second filler product to at least a second portion of the strand distinct from the first portion; and extruding a plastic around the group of metal wires passing through the die, so as to envelop the group of metal wires covered with the first and second filler products in a continuous sheath formed of the extruded plastic. The second filler product has greater adhesion to the group of metal wires than the first filler product.

A method for producing a rope, wherein fiber bundles are applied with a liquefied matrix material upstream of and/or at a twisting point to form fiber strands, and are embedded into the liquefied matrix material during stranding, by which fiber strands a fiber core of the rope is formed and wires or wire strands are wound about the fiber core. The matrix material of the fiber strands is hardened after the stranding, and the fiber strands are subsequently stranded directly with one another without further application to form the fiber core. Preferably the fiber strands are heated, during or after the stranding thereof to form the fiber core, so that the matrix material softens at least individual of the fiber strands, preferably all the fiber strands, softens and connects with the matrix material of another of the fiber strands, and is subsequently hardened, forming an integral bond with one another.

A method for producing a strand or cable, in which fibers and/or wires are twisted at a twisting point to form the strand or cable. The fibers and/or wires are coated with a liquefied matrix material before and/or at the twisting point and are embedded in the matrix material during twisting. The fibers and/or wires are immersed in the matrix material before and/or at the twisting point and the formed strand or the formed cable is cooled after the twisting in order for the matrix material to solidify, preferably by air or in a cooling liquid, for example water.
