How to increase farm efficiency with SKF Agri Hub?

Traditional solutions vs. modern maintenance-free hubs.

Older models of agricultural machinery use hubs that require regular lubrication. This process is often time-consuming and involves additional costs, including the purchase of lubricants and equipment maintenance. In addition, improper or irregular lubrication can lead to premature bearing wear or damage, which results in downtime and additional repair costs. The answer to this problem is, for example, the use of a central lubrication system in the machine or the use of innovative substitutes. Modern maintenance-free hubs, such as the SKF Agri Hub, eliminate the need for regular lubrication thanks to the use of advanced sealing technologies and durable materials. This allows farmers to focus on efficient work without having to worry about frequent maintenance.

Advantages of using SKF Agri Hubs.

Maintenance-free and time-saving. SKF Agri Hubs are designed as maintenance-free units, which means they do not require regular lubrication throughout their service life. This saves farmers the time they previously had to spend on machine maintenance and does not have to worry about whether they did it correctly.

Environmental protection. The lack of need to relubricate SKF Agri Hub hubs contributes to reduced grease consumption, which has a positive impact on the natural environment. Additionally, the sealed design of the hubs minimizes the risk of grease leakage into the soil. Examples of SKF Agri Hub applications.

SKF Agri Hub hubs are used in various agricultural machines, such as:

• Disc harrows: Thanks to their high resistance to loads and contamination, these hubs ensure reliable operation in difficult field conditions.
• Strip tillage machines: The maintenance-free nature of the Agri Hub hubs allows for longer operation without downtime related to maintenance.
• Seeders:The precision of the hubs affects the even sowing of seeds, which is crucial for obtaining high yields.

Maintenance-free SKF Agri Hub hubs - up to 30% lower costs operating costs.

The use of SKF Agri Hub hubs allows for a significant reduction in operating costs. Elimination of the need for lubrication and less frequent failures lead to savings in both operating materials and maintenance labor costs. According to SKF data, the cost of owning machines equipped with Agri Hub hubs can be up to 30% lower compared to machines using traditional solutions.
