The agricultural industry is a crucial one, especially in the United States, as its produce serves as essential food items for people in the country and around the globe. As such, the equipment and parts that farmers use during their processes must be of the highest possible standard to deliver quality products. Additionally, the industry has several regulations that it must abide by since it provides crops primarily for human consumption. 

The Dilemmas Today’s Farmers Face

The COVID-19 pandemic struck down all types of businesses around the world. Massive operations had to shut down and stop production, which caused a significant decrease in turnover and profits. The agricultural industry didn’t enjoy immunity from these effects, and farmers had to deal with huge losses. 

It’s natural, then, for businesses to seek a way to recover their expenses. However, some farmers may opt to sacrifice the quality of their equipment and parts to cut down on overhead. Several operations decided to import lower-cost agricultural parts, assuming it would help increase revenue more quickly. 

While this may work in the short term, poor-quality parts will always find a way to hurt a business. These items simply don’t measure up to local regulations and can’t meet the rigorous demands of the agricultural industry. Consequently, the assets tend to fail prematurely, creating a larger problem that often proves more costly than before. 

The alternative is injection molding, which is popular because of the high quality and durability of the products it creates. While these parts may have a higher initial cost, they last far longer than their cheap counterparts, eventually saving agricultural operations money in the long term.

Plastic Injection Molding, Reliant Worldwide Plastics, and the Agriculture Industry

As the name suggests, this process involves manufacturing parts using injection molds. The most common material is plastic, which we melt until it’s a liquid. Our technicians then push the molten plastic into molds, eventually cooling to form the intended shape. 

These items include all sorts of parts and equipment necessary for the agricultural field. Instead of using cheaply manufactured parts, this process ensures that you receive strong, dependable items that will last several years. 

The agricultural industry has several demands in terms of its parts and equipment. Some of these are unique in both shape and size. However, with injection molding, we can continuously manufacture diverse and complex shaped parts quickly and in large quantities. 

In terms of component manufacturing, injection molding is probably the most widely used globally. Embracing this production process has its benefits, which include: 

  • Flexibility. As the manufacturer, we can select the mold design and the type of material to melt as the primary component in the product. Consequently, we can deliver every type of part crucial to the agricultural sector, regardless of complexities. 
  • Efficiency. Once we’ve set up the process with the relevant mold and material, the entire cycle goes quickly, producing thousands of parts per hour. Our machines are also energy-efficient, so we pass those savings on to our customers. 
  • Quality Consistency. As we mentioned previously, the agricultural industry is serious about quality and regulations. For this reason, we can tightly control the parameters of this procedure to ensure that even though we’re producing thousands of items in an hour, they all are of the same high quality you can expect from Reliant. 
  • Cost-Effective. After we develop the mold for the manufacturing process, the cost of production is relatively low, which is one of the reasons why more farmers are turning to injection molding for their operational requirements. 

Choose Reliant Worldwide Plastics as Your Injection Molding Manufacturer

We are a manufacturer that serves the world of agriculture, and we understand the regulations farmers must comply with. You deserve to use only the best parts in your operation, and instead of settling for cheap alternatives, we decided to produce these parts to the highest possible standards.
