INDUSTRIES WE SERVE

Plastics for Agriculture

Grain doesn't slide on rusted steel, and bearings don't get greased in the middle of harvest. Plastics earn their keep on farm and ranch equipment by shedding product cleanly, running without lubrication, and shrugging off corrosion, impact and UV. We stock the wear-part materials ag equipment runs on and cut them to your dimensions.

Common Agriculture 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 (seed boxes, 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, plow shares, feeder tubes, wear strips
  • Partitions/skylights (barn, greenhouse, poultry, bins, dairy farms, sheds, kennels, workshops, roofing systems)

Why Plastics Win

  • 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 resistant
  • Improves product flow, less sticking and “carry-back” less product damage
  • Excellent light transmission
  • Various tints available
  • Shatter resistant
  • Reduced coefficient of friction (especially self-lubricating grades)
  • Reduce or eliminate “stick-slip”
  • Reduced wear on mating parts
  • Longer wear life
  • Fire and UL listed grades available
  • UV inhibited grades (reduces premature disposal of parts)
  • Antistatic grades (prevent fires and explosions due to static discharge
  • Sound-deadening properties reduce need for ear protection
  • Reduction/elimination of external lubrication possible
  • Many materials are recyclable
  • Excellent cost-performance ratio

Materials We Supply for Agriculture

  • Acetal (POM)
  • High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
  • Nylon (PA)
  • Polycarbonate (PC)
  • Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC)
  • Polyvinylidene Fluoride (CPVC)
