How Are Forgings Used In Agriculture?

In China, the value of the agricultural industry or total agricultural income (TIFF) is a very, very high expense every year, and to support the vast millions of hectares of agricultural activities in our world, reliable, robust agricultural equipment is essential. Maple has been providing quality forgings to the agricultural industry in Europe and the United States for decades, and we are a leading manufacturer of agricultural equipment. Forgings are usually at the point of impact and stress, where strength and performance are critical.

Maple offers a range of products and parts for agricultural machinery, including tractors and trailers for coupled systems, tractors, trailers and remote control vehicles. Maple's central manufacturing facility in Ningbo, China, combines traditional forging processes with technologically advanced CNC machining and finishing to provide a one-stop, complete solution for forged parts.

Our design engineers work closely with each customer to create and produce parts that meet specific requirements, even in the most demanding environments. Parts produced by forging have a number of key advantages over parts manufactured by other metalworking methods, including: versatility - from shafts and simple rods, to ring configurations and custom shapes, forging can produce a wide variety of designs. Reliability - The structural reliability of forged components can be trusted when applying safety-critical components. Strength - When a metal is formed during forging, its grain texture is deformed, refined, and reoriented to follow the general shape of the part. This results in continuous texture changes throughout the part, resulting in improved strength characteristics and impact resistance.

Cost effective - In most cases, forging is more cost effective when the costs incurred over the entire product life cycle are considered. Learn more about how Maple can support your business in agricultural equipment and agricultural machinery manufacturing
