In farming, the quality of equipment can significantly impact productivity. The humble Bolts and Nuts that hold machinery together often go unnoticed, but their role is crucial in ensuring the reliability and longevity of agricultural tools.
Farmers rely on a wide range of machinery, from tractors, harvesters, irrigation systems and storage facilities. Each of these machines requires robust fasteners to withstand the rigours of daily use. A loose bolt or improperly secured component can lead to costly downtime, repairs, or even accidents. For instance, the bolts used in the frame of a tractor must be able to endure constant vibration and heavy loads. Similarly, irrigation systems require corrosion-resistant fasteners/surface coatings to prevent increased wear and tear.
Selecting a suitable fastening solution involves the consideration of numerous factors including material type, hole size, clamp load and the specific demands of the application. For example, stainless steel fasteners are excellent for coastal use due to their corrosion resistance, making them ideal for water-intensive applications.
OEMs should prioritise quality when selecting fasteners. Sub-standard or incorrect fastener selection may entail a cost-saving option initially, but often lead to increased downtime, repairs and replacements, ultimately increasing operational costs.
