Agriculture
Do you want longer-lasting parts on your machinery that require less horsepower to run and are so quiet they don’t bother the animals? Look no further than performance plastics for your agricultural needs.
Agricultural Applications
- Tanks (water, chemical, fuel)
- Kickplates (interior horse trailer walls, ladder bases)
- Chutes (linings, troughs, pivots)
- Panels (shields, shrouds, side panels, roof components)
- Pipe (slurry material distribution, watering systems)
- Feeders (livestock and poultry feed bins, drinking systems)
- Irrigation (pipe, valves, nozzles, bearings)
- Planting/harvesting (seedboxes, bearings/ bushings, slide pads)
- Covers (cultivator shanks, tanks, hoppers, storage bins, skid plates)
- Augers (flight facings, linings, drag plates)
- Seals (bucket elevators, bearings, spray systems, oil/fuel systems)
- Bushings, bearings, cams, gears, tensioners
- Skid plates, plowshares, feeder tubes, wear strips
- Partitions/skylights (barns, greenhouses, poultry, bins, dairy farms, sheds, kennels, workshops, roofing systems)
Material Benefits
- Lightweight (easier to handle, store, and less expensive to ship)
- Easier to machine and install
- Corrosion resistant (eliminates rust and special corrosion coatings)
- Excellent insulating properties
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratios
- Outstanding toughness and impact resistance
- Reduction/elimination of external lubrication possible
Did You Know
Agricultural products are being recycled into “plastic wood” and numerous other secondary products, keeping those materials out of landfills, creating demand for recycling plants and making farms more sustainable.
