Come look at NAMPO 2023: BI shows their leading brands and agri expertise

Leading supplier Bearings International (BI) sees Grain SA’s NAMPO Harvest Day from 16 to 19 May as an important platform to interact with customers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users from all over South Africa, and to showcase its comprehensive product range for the farming community, according to Segment Development Leader: Agriculture Mike Groenewald.

Apart from OEMs and resellers, BI focuses on the following specific market segments: storage and processing, beef and poultry, irrigation and crop production, fruit and vegetable farming, fishing, tobacco, and packhouses.

BI supplies bearings for agricultural equipment such as combine harvesters, planters, balers, tractors, spreaders, mixers and hammer mills. Chains and accessories are available for major combineharvester 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 avail- able, as well as power take-off (PTO) shafts and variable speed drives (VSDs).

Main BI brands on display will 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 are Alpha single-phase 230 V and three-phase 380 V and ABB motors, Citronol environment-friendly hand cleaners and degreasers, Makita cordless power tools, Rocol lubricants, and Dodge housed bearings and shaftmounted gearboxes.

“We not only have a comprehensive product line-up to meet the requirements of the South African agricultural sector, but also 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,” says Mike Groenewald.

“We do not compromise on quality, as downtime due to component failure is costly. Farmers are always under huge time pressure due to the seasonal constraints of the industry. We believe our customers need a service provider that not only has the right spares available whenever necessary, but which can assist with any technical aspects of our products,” says Mike Groenewald.

BI continues to develop new products specifically for the farming community. At NAMPO 2018 it unveiled the latest design of its agricultural hub bearings, and offered a selection of Harden Tools for farmers.
