The Western Cape dominates much of South Africa’s agricultural export production, especially, wheat, wine, and fruit. These export markets are a key driver of sustainable agriculture practices and demand quality products and brands. Leading supplier Bearings International (BI) will showcase its comprehensive product range for the agricultural industry at NAMPO Cape at Bredasdorp Park from 14 to 17 September.

In addition to OEMs and resellers, BI focuses on specific market segments such as storage and processing, beef and poultry, irrigation and crop production, fruit and vegetable farming, fishing, tobacco, and packhouses, explains Area Business Unit Leader Johann Streicher.

It supplies bearings for agricultural equipment such as combine harvesters, planters, balers, tractors, spreaders, mixers, and hammer mills. Chains and accessories are available for major combine-harvester brands such as John Deere, Claas, Case, Clayson, Fahr, Laverda, Massey Ferguson, and Slattery.

A range of sprockets is available for most agricultural implements, in addition to standard V-pulleys with adaptor sleeve bosses and axle couplings. Gearboxes can be supplied for slashers and cutters, production equipment and other agricultural implements. Oils, hydraulic seals, and hoses are also available, as well as power take-off (PTO) shafts and variable speed drives (VSDs).

Main BI brands include a new range of hub units designed and developed in conjunction with KML. Adhesives, sealants, and surface treatment from Loctite are also represented, as well as Alpha single-phase 230V and three-phase 380V and ABB motors, Citronol environment-friendly hand cleaners and degreasers, Makita cordless power tools, Rocol lubricants, and Dodge housed bearings and shaft-mounted gearboxes.

“We have a comprehensive product line-up to meet the requirements of the South African agricultural sector. We also have extensive experience and product knowledge to assist farmers to keep their farming equipment fully operational and well maintained. Our leading brands underline our promise of having the right product at the right price for every application in the agricultural industry,” concludes Streicher.
