Injection Molding On The Farm
Die casting application in agriculture, we normally name “Agricultural Castings” as Agricultural Wear Parts or Tillage Tools. To maximize the accuracy of agricultural investment castings, such kinds of products are designed and produced in precision investment castings.
Agriculture brings with it demanding working conditions, which often involve heavy wear and tear and frequent exposure to adverse or extreme weather. Farmers need to have easy access to equipment, vehicles, and tools that work as hard as they do, which is why our robust plastic injection molding methods bring with them many advantages on the farm.
The growth in these types of machinery is largely attributed to developing economies such as India and Brazil, where there is a high need for modernizing equipment to attain greater levels of productivity and efficiency. India is among the largest manufacturers of farm equipment like tractors, tillers, and harvesters. Tractor sales in the country are expected to grow by nearly 8.0% from 2018 to 2022, thereby driving the market.
The selected composite processing technology refers to the integration of the selective laser fusion lamination modeling process and the high-speed cutting processing process, which is a new type of processing technology. Metal powder laser molding composite processing technology combines the selective laser melting of metal powders (SLM) and the traditional high-speed cutting processing technology. It is a composite of the opposite direction of lamination modeling and removal processing. Integrated materials technology, computer software technology, laser technology, and CNC machining technology. Japanese composite metal 3D printing technology principle: The composite metal 3D printing technology combines metal powder laser selective melting (3D printing) and cutting (CNC high-speed cutting processing) into one. This printer uses a metal laser molding composite processing method, which combines the deposition molding of laser melting solidified metal powder with cutting-based finishing, and has the characteristics of additive and subtractive processing.
Modern plastics and polymers offer significant benefits to the agricultural sector:
- They have astonishingly high levels of toughness and impact resistance.
- They are light, easy to clean, and resistant to moisture and dust.
- They are resilient, withstanding adverse temperatures outdoors without degrading.
Plastic injection molded components and products can be found in a wide range of farming applications.
- Crates, pallets and bulk containers
- Tubs, baskets, and bins
- Animal troughs
- Pesticide sprayer drone parts
- Agricultural machine parts and spares
- Irrigation system components
- Brushes and cleaning equipment
- Packaging and animal feed sacks
- Water tanks
- Exterior equipment covers
Finally, the plastics used to offer a hygienic finish: they can be safely included in applications and equipment used for feeding, watering, birthing, milking, or cleaning animals. This also offers valuable reassurance regarding health and hygiene around the harvesting, handling, and storing of crops.
The injection molding process is compatible with both large-scale assemblies and producing tiny components that form crucial parts of the cogs and mechanisms inside agricultural machinery. Large numbers of identical plastic components can be manufactured at one time with accurate results every time and the opportunity to create spare parts for easy repairs later. This accuracy helps farmers enormously during their busier times, such as harvest or livestock birthing seasons: they know they can rely on the injection-molded equipment to work consistently, as it should.
