Every other year the AGRITECHNICA exhibition halls in Hanover are transformed into a platform for innovation and trend setting for the global Agricultural-industry.
Every other year there is a unique opportunity that inspires both producers and consumers with new achievements, eventually leading to a breakthrough in their fields.
Some distinct trends were obvious at AGRITECHNICA this year, such as durability, reliability and ergonomics, all of them being a combination of a long-term technology and simplified algorithms for elements of power transmission. Any farmer who is out in his field, any manufacturer working at his plant expects 100% profit from every part, from every unit of his equipment. The market is ready to respond to such a request.
Almost 3000 participants from 51 countries visited the AGRITECHNICA exhibition halls, but today we would like to tell you about Weasler Engineering – the world’s leader in production of drive shafts and transmissions for agricultural machines. We had the opportunity to meet with representatives of the company at their booth to discuss some achievements.
We have to admit that Weasler surprises. By what? By their care! Weasler cares for you to save you time and energy so that you can have a better work-life balance, save money and enable your agricultural equipment to reach its full potential and entire production capacity. You will probably ask, «How?». For example, maintenance-free cross & bearing kits (M-Kits) do not need any added greasing during its designed operational life. This is quite comfortable, isn’t it? Precise and accurate design, high-quality materials (steel), larger roller bearings, a triple-lipped seal — each part of the line is designed for durability and reliability.
George Hansen, Product Manager at Weasler Engineering: «First of all, we focused on smooth operation and ergonomics to improve labour productivity. It is important for us to make sure that work brings pleasure and does not turn into a stress. With the line of M-Kits, we eliminated the need to remove or grease through the guard; we also eliminated any risk of blowing seals due to over greasing. Praise to our engineers! We also tried to make replacement and maintenance easier, and we succeeded. Since M-Kits do not require any added greasing, you do not have to take your time for maintenance, repair blocked fittings or suffer a failed part due to a missed grease point.
As for our maintenance-free automatic clutches, you simply cannot miss them. For example, in case of overload, the efficient design automatically disconnects the power source from the drivetrain, and will automatically reconnect only when the speed is reduced, thus protecting costly equipment.
Our other innovation is a maintenance-free drive shaft. Can you imagine that you no longer need to remove or try to grease through the drive shaft guard? Or, for example, can you afford to forget about the lubrication interval? We provide you with such a possibility and we performed it in a way that you do not have to think about these moments any more. Now you can work in a comfortable and safe environment for many years».
Sander Wientjes, Sales Manager off-highway: «Weasler is constantly improving production processes. When achievements bring benefits, this is the only guarantee of a successful development of any company. We treat our customers with great respect; we value their labour, and that is why we constantly try to improve the quality of our products, providing the farmers with the opportunity to focus on their work and eliminate «down-time» as much as possible».
Vitaliy Grinevich, official distributor for Eastern Europe and the CIS: «Our products are a modern ergonomic solution for any kind of equipment; they help implement global production tasks. Weasler has strengthened all elements of the parts to their maximum, bringing the standard to perfection. For example, Weasler’s Auto-lok yoke with a replaceable spline part is unique, being interchangeable with all available Weasler tractor yokes as well as with all other standard yokes available in the market. It has a free displacement of the spline part at a certain angle relative to the shaft, which simplifies its installation on the tractor shaft. This type of yoke has also interchangeable spline inserts, so you do not need to replace a bunch of parts and spend an unreasonable amount of money.
But the most amazing thing for me is that the products are perfectly adapted to any climatic conditions. Whether it is in Russia, Italy or Mexico — you will definitely get a product perfectly operating. And certainly, Weasler’s maintenance-free automatic clutches are worthy of a special note, for they strongly protect your equipment against overloading: this is true for balers, combine harvesters, feed mixers, mowers and manure spreaders. Yes, this is true. The clutches are a great solution for any type of equipment and can be combined with parts of other manufacturers. The time of unreasonable expenses is over. Now Weasler that saves your resources is your solid ground».
For several decades, Weasler has been the headliner of the European and American markets, and they are not going to give up. Enjoy your work, and let Weasler assist.
