In the agriculture industry, some applications use a roll bending machine as an alternative to profile bending equipment, because roll bending features a similar but simpler design. Roll bending works in conjunction with plate rolling, which forms aluminum, stainless steel, and steel sheet metals into conical, cylindrical, circular, and semicircular shapes.
Roller bending machines help fabricate many types of agricultural equipment. Learn more about these applications and the benefits of working with Webb Corporation for your agricultural equipment needs.
Metal Fabrication Use Cases for Agriculture
Through the use of roll bending and plate rolling equipment, we help OEMs manufacture a wide range of agricultural products, such as grain storage bins, augers, fertilizer blending systems, and water storage tanks.
Grain Storage Bins
These bins consist of metal cylinders and peaked roofing that agricultural companies use to store different types of dry grain for use as food for animals or people or as a fuel source. Some of the many dry grains these bins frequently store include:
- Wheat
- Shelled corn
- Barley
- Soybeans
- Flax seeds
- Sunflower seeds
Augers
Plate bending processes help fabricate grain augers that transfer large quantities of grains to different spaces. Augers are large tubes containing a solid shaft with counterclockwise flighting spiraling around the shaft. This design allows for the upward transport of grain along the shaft until it exits the top of the auger.
Fertilizer Blending Systems
Many applications also use fertilizer blending systems, which facilitate an even mixture of powders. They also work for blending other types of substances.
Industrial Water Storage Tanks
Water storage tanks store condensate, wastewater, potable water, and rainwater for use in fire suppression, municipal water, mining, greenhouses, irrigation, agriculture, and aquaculture applications.
