Engineered Plastic Solutions for Agricultural Equipment & Systems

At Lehigh Valley Plastics, we deliver precision-machined plastic components tailored for the rigors of agricultural equipment and processing systems. Our solutions help OEMs and equipment manufacturers reduce wear, resist corrosion, and improve reliability in harsh outdoor and high-moisture environments.

From seeders and sprayers to food-grade processing lines and irrigation systems, our engineered plastics are built to perform in demanding conditions—delivering long-lasting value in the field or on the production line.

Whether you need rugged parts for heavy equipment or FDA-compliant components for post-harvest processing, we provide materials and machining expertise that agricultural professionals trust.

Why Plastics Are Essential in Agriculture

Agricultural operations demand materials that can withstand abrasion, weather, chemicals, and constant mechanical stress. High-performance plastics are ideal in this space—offering strength, longevity, and chemical resistance without the weight or corrosion issues of metal.

We work with a broad range of engineering plastics optimized for agricultural use, including:

  • UHMW (TIVAR™, TECAFINE™, Polystone® M) – Excellent abrasion resistance, impact strength, and low friction for wear parts
  • Nylon (PA) (Nylatron™, TECAMID®, Sustamid®) – Tough, wear-resistant, and available in UV-stabilized grades for outdoor use
  • Acetal (POM) (Acetron™, TECAFORM®, Sustarin®) – Dimensional stability and low moisture absorption for precision components
  • HDPE (Proteus, TECAFINE, Polystone G) – Lightweight, weather-resistant, and suitable for outdoor structural applications
  • PET (Ertalyte™, TECAPET®, Sustadur® PET) – Durable and wear-resistant with good load-bearing capacity
  • PEEK (Ketron™, TECAPEEK®, SustaPEEK®) – High strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability for advanced agricultural systems

Plastics Offer Major Advantages in Agricultural Applications:

  • Weather, UV, and corrosion resistance
  • Lightweight yet tough—ideal for moving parts and structural components
  • Self-lubricating options for reduced maintenance
  • Chemical resistance for fertilizers, pesticides, and cleaning agents
  • FDA-compliant materials available for food-grade systems
  • Cost-effective alternatives to metal in many applications
