Quality and documentation

Agricultural machinery parts are usually supplied with a material certificate to EN 10204 3.1 and a dimensional report. New parts are released with a first article inspection report. Castings for safety-relevant functions are tested by magnetic particle or ultrasonic testing where specified, and housings by leak test. Heat treatment and coating are documented under secondary operations. More on the quality page.

Frequently asked questions

Which processes are most common for agricultural machinery parts?

Sand casting in grey and ductile iron for housings, hubs and counterweights, forging for shafts and yokes, CNC machining for all functional surfaces and laser cutting for brackets and frames. Most parts are delivered painted or powder coated.

Can you supply spare parts for older machines?

Yes, if a drawing or a sample with sufficient information is available. Sand casting and machining suit small quantities, so spare parts can be produced without large tooling investments.

Can parts be delivered painted in our colour?

Yes. Parts can be powder coated, KTL coated or wet painted in the colour and paint system you specify, with machined surfaces masked.
