PLASTICS FOR AN EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE

We recommend high-performance plastics from our PLASTMASS™ series to replace outdated materials in machines and tools. Our durable plastics can increase your productivity and sustainability. Our plastics are manufactured under high quality standards in our factory.

Plastmass Group offers high-performance plastics for various applications in the agriculture industry.

PLASTMASS™ PET, PEEK, PEI, PPS, PSU

Our high performance plastics are ideal to reduce the wear and weight of moving/sliding parts. They are also particularly suitable for components that work under extreme conditions.

PLASTMASS™ UHMWPE/HMWPE

Our ultra-/high-molecular plastics are ideal for lining, sliding guides and the protection of metallic parts.

PLASTMASS™ PU

The peculiarity of this elastomer is its lifespan, which is up to 20 times longer (depending on the load) than that of conventional rubber materials. The plastic can be manufactured with a Shore A hardness of 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 and 90 units.

Sliding properties of PLASTMASS™ plastics are better than bronze
The low coefficient of friction of our plastics significantly increases the lifespan of the sliding parts

PLASTMASS ™ 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
PLASTMASS™ plastics does 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
Thanks to a large selection of sizes for PLASTMASS™ semi-finished products, you will always find the right product
Moisture absorption coefficient under 0.3%
High dimensional stability
Frost resistance at temperatures down to -100 °C
Consistent properties during long-term operation

AREAS OF APPLICATION

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.
