Agriculture Equipment Protection

In the agriculture industry, equipment requires protection throughout its life cycle from assembly and manufacturing through in-field use and maintenance.

Caplugs offers an expansive line of catalog and custom parts to protect valuable agricultural equipment during these operations. Whether it be the protecting of machine surfaces during assembly and production, protection of threads, bores, guides and grounding areas during masking operations, or protecting machinery and hydraulic hoses in the field, we have the products to prevent rework and part replacement.
 

Hydraulic Protection

In-Field Hydraulic Hose Protection

Agricultural equipment like tractors, planters and sprayers often operates in rugged farming conditions that can expose their hydraulic lines to abrasion and potential leaks or bursts. Caplugs offers proven solutions to keep hydraulic hose lines and agriculture workers protected, including our Pig's Tail Spiral Wrap (PTPW Series), Safeplast Safe-Spiral (SPSS Series) and Safeplast Safe-Sleeve (PTPS Series) hose protection series.

Our Pig’s Tail and Safeplast spiral wraps offer exceptional abrasion resistance for hydraulic hoses that regularly come into contact with rough surfaces, and provide convenient bundling support to better organize and protect multiple hoses.

The Pig's Tail Wrapman Unit and Safe-Bundler (PTWM Series) is available to help apply Pig’s Tail and Safeplast spiral wrap onto hydraulic hoses. The Wrapman handles hose sizes from ½" to 1 ¾" OD, while the Safe-Bundler can be attached to an electric drill for ergonomic installation of individual hoses or hose bundles.

Our Safeplast Safe-Sleeve is another user-friendly hose protection option, designed to control dangerous fluids in the event of a hose failure such as a burst or pinhole leak. Made with a high-yarn-count polyester, the protective sleeve allows excess hydraulic fluid to safely dissipate at its ends when a burst or leak occurs. This not only helps avoid further equipment damage but greatly reduces the chance of worker injury.

Other hydraulic hose protection solutions available include our Pig's Tail Industrial Service Plugs (PTSP Series) which can be used when quick fixes are required in the field. Simply cut the hose at the rupture and use the service plug as a stopgap solution.

Masking Protection

Masking Solutions for Agriculture Equipment

Caplugs offers a full line of masking solutions designed to meet the demands of finishing processes like powder coating, painting and sand blasting. Everything from grounding studs to threaded holes, bushings and raceways have no-paint callouts that must be properly masked off to maintain function.

We have a range of high-temperature silicone caps and plugs available for paint, powder coating and oven curing, all withstanding temperatures up to 400°F. For more aggressive finishing processes like sandblasting or washing, neoprene caps and plugs are available for enhanced durability and abrasion resistance. Masking tapes such as our popular PC21- Green Polyester Tape (PC21-SH Series) and die cut options are often used for the masking of agriculture parts.

In addition to our catalog products, we provide custom masking solutions to meet unique thread types, geometries and sizes. Custom masking caps and plugs are available in nearly any shape and size and can include magnetic masks and custom tapes or die-cut options for faster setup and less manpower. With custom masking you remove the need for time-consuming cutting or trimming, just grab your custom part or die cut, put it on and go.   

Assembly & Service Protection

Rubber Products for Agriculture Assembly and Service

In the assembly process, machine surfaces must be safeguarded from impact. When parts are transported between machining stages, even the most minor surface damage or dents can lead to rework. Implementing product protection like a cap or plug during this stage can significantly reduce rework rates.

Beyond assembly protection, we also support permanent component protection with our custom rubber products. These include long-term solutions for camera boots, electrical connector covers, circuit protection and bushing protectors that stay with a tractor or other piece of agricultural equipment throughout its service life.

Whether it's preventing downtime during assembly and masking or adding protection that lasts the lifetime of the equipment, Caplugs delivers solutions that keep your full fleet of agriculture equipment running longer and performing better.
