Preparation of the soil for autumn sowing has begun. To protect the soil, many people use no-till technology, which involves minimal soil disturbance. In some areas, however, till technology continues to prove more effective. Tillage is an integral part of this, and AGRI HUB bearing units contribute to its maximum efficiency.
AGRI HUB units are specifically designed for disc tillage machines. They are robust and reliable. They help to extend the life of your machines and achieve more efficient tillage.
What conditions should AGRI HUB units withstand?
AGRI HUB units can withstand a wide range of agricultural conditions thanks to their specially designed seals and choice of materials.
- Dusty and muddy environments
Special seals on the bearings prevent dust, mud and other dirt from entering the internal parts. These materials can quickly damage other bearings and reduce their life. - Moisture
In agriculture, we often encounter wet environments, especially during the irrigation season or after rain. Thanks to their waterproof seals, AGRI HUB units effectively resist water infiltration, reducing the risk of corrosion. - Extreme temperature conditions
The bearings are made of materials that are resistant to heat and cold, making them suitable for working in extreme temperatures. - High shock and vibration
Working with agricultural machinery often involves high levels of vibration, especially when working on hard or stony ground. The AGRI HUB units are designed to withstand these shocks and vibrations, ensuring the continuous operation of the machine. - Minimum downtime
There’s no stopping in season, so it’s important that components are reliable and can withstand heavy loads.
Additional benefits of AGRI HUB bearing units
- Increased load capacity
The design of AGRI HUB bearings allows them to maintain their efficiency under heavy loads, thus minimising the maintenance requirements of the machines. - Long service life
These bearings are specifically designed to withstand the harsh environments and heavy loads that are essential for agricultural machinery. Special sealing technologies protect the bearings from dust, water and other contaminants, further extending their service life. - Easy fitting
AGRI HUB bearings are easy to fit and can be mounted in the field. This saves time and labour. - Wide range
The AGRI HUB bearing unit is available in several sizes and brands.
By using AGRI HUB, farmers can experience productivity increases of up to 150% and cost reductions of up to 30%.
How do you know if your disc bearing is ready for replacement?
- Excessive noise or vibration
If the bearings are making strange noises or if you notice a shudder when the disc moves, it could indicate that the bearings are damaged. - Leakage or dirt
The seals in the disc bearings are designed to protect the internal elements. If you see leaks or dirt on the bearings, it could indicate that the seals are damaged and the bearings are no longer able to function properly, they could stop at any time. - Increasing resistance
If you feel that the rotation of the bearings has become more obstructed, it could be the first sign that the bearings are worn and it’s time to replace them. Worn bearings can hinder the effective operation of the discs, which will have a negative effect on the quality of your tillage.
If you experience these signs, switch to an AGRI HUB bearing unit before you start working!
