Summary
In the agricultural field, automation of equipment is being promoted due to labor saving. Engineering Plastic materials are used for various parts in the agricultural field because of their features such as light weight, oil-less, long life of parts due to low wear, and the possibility of manufacturing one-of-a-kind parts. Applications include guiding fruit-sorting machines, outdoor cultivating, and a wide variety of other uses.
Required Specifications
Abrasion resistance
Since it is used for plowing of fields and guiding parts of belts, it is required to have durability against mating materials such as metals and earth and sand.
Oil Resistance
It is necessary to suppress abrasion with the mating material when it is used as sliding parts.
Weather Resistance
Since they are often used outdoors, it is necessary to be concerned about deterioration due to ultraviolet rays and other factors.
Non-Adhesiveness
Engineering Plastic Materials for Agriculture
Adoption Examples
Guide for Indoor Cultivation
It is used as a shielding material for indoor cultivation. Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene is preferred due to its chemical resistance and hygiene considerations.
Belt and chain guides
It is used as a cushioning material between the belt and the mating material.
