Agriculture is a timely business. When crops are ready to be harvested, or the ground needs to be tilled in preparation, there is no time for the equipment to be down or waiting to be repaired. Agriculture equipment goes through heavy mechanical stress due to ongoing use, fertilizers and very sharp grains. At EN-CHRO Plating, we know that hard chrome plating in agriculture is the right solution for durability, performance and lower lifecycle costs. Our goal is to help farmers keep their equipment in peak condition.
The Hardest Wear-Resistant Surface for Agricultural Equipment
Hard chrome plating significantly increases the hardness of the surface, working to reduce wear. This is critical as the agriculture machinery is constantly cutting, thrashing and sliding in various weather conditions placing stress on the parts that are in constant motion. Hard chrome plating also has a natural lubrication surface that reduces friction. This reduces the temperature which in turn reduces the wear of the parts.
Corrosion Resistance Where It Matters Most
Agricultural equipment is regularly exposed to corrosive environments including fertilizers, pesticides, moisture, and frequent wash-downs. Hard chrome plating provides a protective barrier that is corrosion resistant works to maintain stability over time. At EN-CHRO Plating, we’re able to hard chrome plate large parts in agriculture equipment and even heat treat for additional hardness. Contact us for a site visit of our facility.
Agricultural Machinery Repair
One of the best advantages of hard chrome plating in agriculture is its ability to dramatically extend the life of the machinery parts. Shafts, pins, hydraulic rods, and bearings would normally be scrapped or recycled can now be restored, saving significant replacement costs.
By reducing maintenance and minimizing equipment downtime, hard chrome plating lowers the total cost of ownership for farmers.
