Agriculture & Food

Welding plays a crucial role in the agricultural and agri-food industry for the manufacture, maintenance and repair of a variety of equipment and structures.

Here are just some of the areas where welding is widely used in this sector:

• Farm equipment manufacturing: Welding is used to assemble farm equipment such as tractors, harvesters, trailers, seeders, harrows and so on. Metal parts are often assembled using welding techniques such as arc welding, MIG/MAG welding, or TIG welding.
• Repair and maintenance of agricultural equipment: Agricultural machinery is often subjected to harsh conditions, resulting in damage and wear. Welding is used to repair and reinforce damaged parts of agricultural machinery to extend their service life and ensure smooth operation.
• Construction and repair of agricultural structures: Welding is used in the construction and repair of agricultural structures such as silos, greenhouses, sheds, animal pens and so on. These structures are generally made of steel or aluminum, and require welding operations to assemble and repair them
• Food processing and related equipment: In the food processing industry, welding is used to manufacture and maintain a variety of equipment such as storage tanks, transport pipes, conveyors, heat treatment systems and so on. This equipment must be manufactured with precision and durability to meet health and food safety standards.
• Manufacture and repair of agricultural implements: Agricultural implements such as ploughs, cultivators, mowers, tillage implements, etc., need to be manufactured with precision and durability in order to meet health and food safety standards.
