Rubber applications in the agricultural sector
The agricultural industry, also known as the farming industry or agriculture, includes a wide range of activities such as arable farming, livestock farming, horticulture, fishing and forestry. In all these sectors, rubber plays a crucial role due to its versatility and durability. Rubber contributes to more efficient and better performing agricultural machinery and equipment.
What is the agricultural industry?
The agricultural sector focuses on the production and processing of crops, animal products, and other natural resources. Farm machinery and equipment require materials that can withstand harsh conditions, and rubber meets these demands with properties such as wear resistance and flexibility.
Applications of rubber in agriculture
Rubber is used in the agricultural industry in a variety of ways, including:
1. Tires for agricultural vehicles
Rubber forms the basis of tires for tractors, combines and other agricultural vehicles. These tires provide grip and stability on challenging terrain.
2. Gaskets and hoses
Rubber is used in seals and hoses that transport fluids and air. These applications require materials that can withstand high pressure and abrasion.
3. Ejection rubbers and pump parts
Agricultural machinery contains rubber parts such as ejection rubbers and pump parts, which ensure smooth and efficient operation.
4. Reinforced rubber components
For heavy-duty applications, rubber products combine metal reinforcements with optimum adhesion, allowing them to better withstand forces.
Important properties of rubber in agriculture
Rubber products in the agricultural sector must meet the following requirements:
- Quality and wear resistance: Resistant to tough conditions and long-term use.
- Efficiency: Improves the performance of agricultural machinery and contributes to higher productivity.
- Metal reinforcement: Provides extra durability and strength under heavy loads.
The influence of seasonality in agriculture
The agricultural sector is highly dependent on seasonal factors, such as sowing and harvesting of crops. Rubber products must therefore be available on time to avoid downtime. Artech Rubber holds stock for customers and scales up during peak seasons to meet demand.
Why tubber is essential in agriculture
Rubber combines durability, flexibility and wear resistance, making it an indispensable material in the agricultural sector. It supports the performance of machinery and increases productivity in a sector that is constantly faced with changing conditions.
