Agriculture – Livestock Sector

Agriculture and animal husbandry are among the first and largest known industries. Increasing world population and insufficiency of nutritional resources increase the need for agricultural mechanization systems that include more effective and technological applications. Reducers are used in many applications such as feed mixing, vertical feed mixing, agricultural machinery and fertilizer mixers. Linear or right angle gearboxes meet all needs of the industry with easy and flexible installation possibilities.
In the agriculture and livestock sectors, reducers play an important role in making processes more efficient and saving energy by using them in various applications. Here are some examples of reducer use in agriculture and animal husbandry:

Reducers in Machinery: Agricultural machines, especially harvesting machines and tillage machines, are equipped with reducers. This allows the machines to perform their operations at the desired speed and torque.

Reducers in Feed Mixers and Grinders: Reducers in feed mixers and grinders used in animal feeding processes provide the torque required to mix and grind feed materials. The gearboxes in the drive group of the machine play a major role in ensuring homogeneous mixture during feed mixing.

Animal Carriers – Reducers in Scratchers and Conveyors: Animal carriers and conveyor systems work with reducers, making it easier to transport and process animals.

Reducers in Irrigated Agriculture Irrigation Systems: Irrigation pumps in irrigated agricultural systems are equipped with reducers to transmit water to the fields. This allows water to be pumped at lower speeds and with high torque.

Reducers in Wind Turbines: Some farms produce electricity using alternative energy sources. Wind turbines work with reducers to convert high-speed wind energy into electricity.

Gearboxes are used in each of these applications to convert the high-speed rotations from the motors into the low-speed high-torque rotations required for the process. This saves energy, ensures machines run more efficiently and equipment lasts longer. Reducers can also improve production quality by providing precise control of processes. Therefore, reducers play an important role in the agricultural and livestock industry.
