Agriculture & Farming Equipment Plastic Liners

We offer specialized UHMW-PE (Ultra High Molecular Weight polyethylene) plastic liners designed with various additives to enhance agricultural operations by improving production, flowability, efficiency, wear, flow of bulk materials in silos, bins, hoppers and grain handling. These advanced materials consistently outperform traditional metal components across diverse applications, offering numerous benefits including material flow, sticking issues, wear issues and erratic flow.

Key Advantages

Key advantages of using UHMW performance plastics in agriculture include:

  • Durability and Longevity: These materials are engineered to withstand harsh agricultural environments, offering superior resistance to impact, wear, corrosion, and moisture absorption . This leads to extended equipment lifespan and reduced downtime, particularly in high-stress applications like grain handling and harvesting.

  • Lightweight and Self-Lubricating: Plastics are significantly lighter than metal, which can improve machinery performance and fuel efficiency. Many plastic components are also self-lubricating, reducing the need for external lubrication and minimizing friction and wear.

  • Enhanced Material Flow and Equipment Protection: Lining materials made from these plastics improve the flow of materials, bulk materials movement, prevent buildup, and protect valuable equipment from abrasion.

  • Improved Safety: Non-sparking, corrosion-resistant and antistatic properties contribute to a safer operational environment, especially in facilities handling flammable materials. UHMW liners can also eliminate the need to enter confined spaces to clean out or knock down materials that are sticking, ratholing or arching.

  • Compliance and Versatility: Products are available that meet strict industry standards, including FDA, USDA, CFIA, and 3A Dairy compliance, making them suitable for sensitive applications like livestock operations.

Liner Applications

The range of applications for these advanced plastics is extensive, covering various agricultural needs:

  • Grain Handling Systems: Plastics provide excellent insulating properties and high strength-to-weight ratios, ensuring efficient and reliable operation in grain elevators and processing equipment.

  • Livestock Operations: Durable and easy-to-install materials resist harsh conditions, making them ideal for various components in livestock facilities.

  • Planting and Harvesting: Tough and reliable plastic solutions are designed to endure the demands of field work, offering resilience against extreme weather.

  • Specific Components: Common products include anti-static liners, washers, plastic spacers, bearings, sheaves, bushings, sprockets, and rubber rollers. Specialized applications include urethane potato-turner star wheels, and polyurethane plastic ball bearings.

Liner Products

We’ll help you find the right material for your project or material flow needs.

  • Limitless Lining - TIVAR Installation

    TIVAR® 88 offers excellent resistance to wear for situations where abrasion is happening. It is a glass filled UHMW-PE mater that is cross linked for enhanced wear.

  • Limitless Lining - TIVAR Installation

    TIVAR® 88-2 allows for material to easily glide through. It has the lowest coefficient of friction (C.O.F.) of .08 per QTM test method 55007.

  • Limitless Lining - TIVAR Installation

    TIVAR® 88 ESD has anti-static properties to prevent the build up of electrical charges due to dusty materials. It is glass-filled cross-linked ESD grade which allows for low moisture absorption and is static dissipative.

  • Limitless Lining - TIVAR Installation

    TIVAR® 88-2 ESD has anti-static properties to prevent the build up of electrical charges due to dusty materials. It is a silicone oil filled UHMW-PE which allows for low moisture absorption and is static dissipative.

  • Limitless Lining - TIVAR Installation

    TIVAR® DrySlide is made with an internal lubricant to help lower the surface friction with movement of materials without the oily build up.
