LFD - System Engineering

The new LFD AGRI-HUB

The reliability of the LFD AGRI-HUB is due to its sound craftsmanship and high-quality technology. Each quality and process step is documented and can be retraced.

Dirt, dust and moisture is kept out

The LFD AGRI-HUB is characterised by an excellent sealing system.

The harrow disc itself serves as the cover of the housing. Together, these optimally protect the bearing unit against dirt, dust and moisture.

LFD also offers this bearing unit with additional stone protection (S). As a result, field work is performed absolutely reliably. The maintenance-free LFD AGRI-HUBs allow a quick installation and removal. As a result, additional costs are reduced.

LFD AGRI-HUB Technical details

The LFD AGRI-HUB represents easy installation, mature technology and high loading capacity. These are the characteristics that the agriculture sector expects.

Reliable technology

The reliability of the LFD AGRI-HUB is due to its sound craftsmanship and high-quality technology.

Each quality and process step is documented and can be retraced.

Experiences from all branches of industry flow into the further development of LFD products. It requires this reliable technology down to the smallest detail in order to ensure that a good harvest is achieved at the end of a season.

Persuasive Arguments

  • Certification of the quality in usage

Bench tests for fatigue testing:

Top ratings for quality

Compact disc harrows are tested regularly for reliability and economic feasibility.

DLG has tested this with a renowned disc harrow with a separate trailing chassis and has determined excellent performance values.

The especially utilised angular ball bearings from LFD run in dedicated fatigue tests at the customer, which are supported on in-house bench test. LFD has certified excellent performance values at the customer.

AGRI-HUB in tough practical fatigue testing

LFD offers evidence in practical testing: In a fatigue test, a land area of approx. 4,000 hectares was cultivated at up to 20 km/h, which corresponds to the load of a season.

The challenging basic conditions for the LFD AGRI-HUB were intensive manure, stone, dirt and dust exposure. The images depict the testing. After each use, the harrow discs with installed AGRI-HUB were fully cleaned with high-pressure washers, otherwise the manure would have hardened. These multiple high-pressure washing cycles also posed extreme challenges for the components and seals.
