Agriculture
Agricultural machinery works under the influence of soil, fertiliser and chemicals; the corrosion load is heavy. At the same time the sector’s production is markedly seasonal, and line capacity is planned around that fluctuation.
Process requirements of the sector
Chassis and welded body parts contain closed sections; with this geometry, dip lines offer a clear advantage over spray application.
Seasonal demand means line capacity is not used evenly through the year. When sizing the investment, the gap between peak capacity and the annual average must be treated as a deliberate decision.
Part variety is high and sizes span a wide range; flexible hanger systems and adjustable handling solutions come to the fore.
What to watch in planning
- The need for a dip line for closed sections
- The gap between peak and average capacity
- Flexible hanger systems for a wide size range
- A coating system suited to heavy corrosion conditions
