Plastics for harvesting technology

To cultivate their fields efficiently, farmers need powerful and reliable agricultural machinery. Farmers must be able to rely on their machines at all times, especially during the peak harvesting season. As agricultural machinery becomes larger and heavier, the risk of soil compaction also increases. For this reason, lightweight and high-performance components for the design of modern agricultural machinery are in demand. We supply you with plastics that have been specially developed for these requirements. Our plastics for harvesting technology combine very high load-bearing capacity with high wearing resistance and low weight. Renowned agricultural machinery manufacturers all over the world rely on our materials.
 

Your advantages

Depending on the material:

  • Low density contributes to weight reduction and thus ensures efficiency of your agricultural machinery
  • Durable thanks to high mechanical stability
  • Wearing resistance
  • High breaking strength, no splintering
  • Low maintenance
  • High UV and weather resistance for permanent outdoor use

  • Expert for plastic functional parts in agricultural engineering
  • Innovative developments based on partnership, with a focus on customer benefit
  • Broad product portfolio
  • Industries and application expertise

Typical application areas

  • Combine harvester
  • Turnip harvesting machines
  • Potato harvesters
  • Wine harvesters
  • Forage harvester
