VESCONITE IN AGRICULTURE
Vesconite is a high-performance engineering plastic that is widely used in the agriculture industry for various applications, such as harvesting machines, irrigation systems, tractors, trailers, etc. Vesconite can reduce friction, wear, noise, and maintenance costs and increase the efficiency and lifespan of the equipment.
Some of the benefits of using Vesconite in agriculture are:
- Vesconite has a high load-bearing capacity and can withstand high pressures and shocks.
- Vesconite has a low friction coefficient and can reduce energy consumption and heat generation.
- Vesconite has a high wear resistance and can resist abrasion, erosion, and corrosion
- Vesconite has a low water absorption and can operate in wet and dirty conditions
- Vesconite has a high dimensional stability and can maintain its shape and size in varying temperatures
Some of the applications of Vesconite in agriculture are:
- Vesconite bushings and bearings for harvesting machines, such as combine harvesters, balers, mowers, etc.
- Vesconite wear plates and liners for irrigation systems, such as sprinklers, pivots, valves, etc.
- Vesconite gears and sprockets for tractors and trailers, such as transmission systems, steering systems, etc.
- Vesconite spacers and washers for electrical and mechanical components, such as motors, generators, switches, etc.

MATERIAL COMPARISON
Bronze and steel gauge arm and linkage bushes in planters have high wear rates, due to the abrasive working environment. This results in inaccurate seed placement.
Traditional tractor king pin, axle and final drive bushes can be affected by water and dirt but this is not the case with Vesconite.
Vesconite offers a huge time saving compared to bronze and steel bearings in planters and sprayers, where maintenance involves lubricating hundreds of grease points.
