Agricultural Innovation: The Agri Hub | A Robust and Virtually Maintenance-Free Solution
Exploring the essentials of agricultural machinery - tractors, tools, and other equipment - it's clear that bearings are critical components. These bearings must endure intense forces and various environmental factors.
In this writing, Global Development Engineer Benjamin Geiser from SKF introduces the Agri Hub: a solution crafted to enhance efficiency and reduce costs for agricultural business owners.
Tailored for towed agricultural machinery, the Agri Hub, a creation of SKF, is capable of enduring high temperatures, significant loads, and continuous exposure to elements like soil and water. Its standout feature is its non-requirement for relubrication. This innovation means less daily maintenance for farmers, allowing more time for other important tasks.
Financial Benefits
The Agri Hub not only saves time but also offers considerable cost reductions. “Equipped with these long-lasting bearings, machinery requires fewer replacements, leading to increased profits and reduced operating expenses.”
In the realm of bearings, there are open and closed systems. Open systems are susceptible to environmental factors, unlike closed systems like the Agri Hub. Geiser adds, “The factory-lubricated Agri Hub extends the lifespan of machinery and is also eco-friendly, eliminating the need for additional lubricants and thereby protecting the environment.”
Versatility for Various Needs
The Agri Hub series includes eight distinct designs, each suited for specific agricultural machinery - from plowing and mowing to harvesting and fertilizing. These models can endure up to 400,000 hectares. SKF is committed to assisting in selecting the ideal bearings for optimal machinery performance.
