PLASTICS FOR AN EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

BUSHINGS IN AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY

The use of PLASTMASS™ PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastics significantly reduces the friction and wear on bushings. The service life of the plain bearing is doubled and the maintenance requirements of machine parts are reduced.
REAR-AXLE SUSPENSION

PLASTMASS™ PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) bushings are unbreakable and ensure that leaf spring systems last longer. This eliminates the problem of broken bronze bushings and increased axle wear.
BEARINGS IN HARVESTING MACHINES

The use of PLASTMASS™ PET MT (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastic reduces friction and wear. This means a longer component life and less maintenance.
BUSHINGS FOR CULTIVATORS

PLASTMASS™ PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) plastic bushings for the moving parts of the cultivator.
BALANCE AND LEVER BUSHINGS

Compensating and lever plastic bushes are used in the trailer coupling of agricultural machines.
BUSHINGS IN LIFTING MECHANISMS

In crane lifting mechanisms, the PLASTMASS™ PEI (Polyetherimide) plastic bushings withstand a load of up to 110 MPa.
ROLLING BEARINGS

PLASTMASS™ PEEK VMT (Polyetheretherketone) plastic is used for rolling bearings, in dry operation at 286 °C with steam pressure. Even under these conditions, the plastic is particularly resistant to abrasive particles.
LINING OF TRUCK BODIES AND TRAILERS

PLASTMASS™ UHMWPE/HMWPE (PE-1000/PE-500 - Polyethylene) is used to line truck bodies, trailers and semi-trailers.
LINING OF WORKING SURFACES

PLASTMASS™ UHMWPE/HMWPE (PE-1000/PE-500 - Polyethylene) plastic linings significantly increase the service life of the work surfaces (protection against sticking, freezing and abrasion).
LINING OF BUCKETS

Excavator buckets lined with PLASTMASS™ PU (Polyurethane) are less susceptible to rust from damage to the protective metal layer.

Benefits of using Engineering Plastics & High Performance Plastics

Sliding properties of engineering plastics and high performance plastics are better than bronze
The low coefficient of friction of our plastics significantly increases the lifespan of the sliding parts
Engineering plastics and high performance plastics can be operated without lubrication - a failure of the lubrication system does not lead to an immediate shutdown
Our plastics reduce noise and increase the shock and vibration resistance of sliding units
Engineering plastics and high performance plastics do not require running-in due to increased elasticity
High positioning accuracy and freedom of movement with small feeds
Works in dirty conditions with high abrasion resistance
Not susceptible to corrosion
Higher chemical resistance compared to bronze
Moisture absorption coefficient under 0.3%
High dimensional stability
Frost resistance at temperatures down to -100 °C
Consistent properties during long-term operation
