Agriculture

Agricultural equipment experiences constant exposure to abrasion, moisture, impact, and temperature extremes. Western Polymers manufactures polyurethane components that excel in these conditions, offering superior durability and low maintenance for farming and food-processing operations.

Designed for Harsh Field & Processing Environments

From grain handling to harvesting equipment, polymer components must resist friction from seeds, soil, aggregates, and organic materials. Polyurethane’s natural abrasion resistance makes it ideal for agricultural applications where metal or rubber parts typically wear out quickly. It also resists cracking in cold weather and won’t absorb moisture like some organic-based materials.

Benefits for Agricultural Operations

  • Extended Wear Life: Handles abrasive grain, seed, soil, and silage.
  • Reduced Build-Up: Polyurethane’s low surface energy helps prevent sticking.
  • Cold-Weather Performance: Remains flexible and impact-resistant in winter conditions.
  • Non-Corrosive: Ideal for fertilizer, moisture, and organic materials.
  • OEM-Compatible: Manufactured to fit existing agricultural machinery.

Agricultural Applications

  • Polyurethane liners and chute linings
  • Conveyor rollers and drive rollers
  • Scraper blades and paddles
  • Bushings, wear pads, and isolators
  • Elastomer parts for sorting, grading, and food handling equipment

Western Polymers supplies components to farms, processors, and agriculture OEMs looking for long-lasting solutions that improve throughput and reduce maintenance interruptions.
