Grain Handling Solutions

In grain handling systems, efficiency and durability are essential. From silos storing farmers’ harvests to the equipment moving grain, reliable components keep operations running smoothly. Plastics play a critical role, offering excellent insulating properties, superior strength-to-weight ratios, and corrosion resistance—eliminating the need for rust-preventive coatings. These materials improve product flow by reducing sticking, carry-back, and product damage, all while providing an excellent cost-performance ratio. Cope Plastics supplies durable, precision-fabricated parts designed to handle the harsh conditions of grain processing equipment.

Applications:
• Covers for cultivator shanks, tanks, hoppers, storage bins, skid plates
• Auger components: flight facings, linings, drag plates
• Pipes for material distribution
• Liners for grain headers
• Dust Shields

Agriculture Equipment Manufacturers

Whether your parts and implements are structural or if they are load bearing and dynamic in nature, performance plastics provide strength, durability, and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for heavy-duty agricultural equipment in harsh field conditions. Engineers and designers are constantly looking for materials that can handle the ever-increasing loads and speeds of their equipment. Internally lubricated polymers can enhance moving parts by reducing friction and wear, ensuring smoother operation and longer service life.

Applications:

• Structural Components: equipment frames, partitions, protective covers, and skylights
• Dynamic Components: bushings, bearings, gears, cams, tensioners, wear pads, and boom pads

Livestock Production

For livestock operations, Cope Plastics delivers durable, easy-to-install materials that resist corrosion and harsh conditions. With excellent strength-to-weight ratios, shatter resistance, and UV-inhibited grades, our plastics reduce maintenance, improve safety, and ensure long-lasting performance in demanding environments. We can provide materials that meet FDA, USDA, CFIA and 3A Dairy compliance standards.

Applications:
• Tanks for water, chemicals, and fuel
• Kickplates for interior horse trailer walls, ladder bases
• Chutes for linings, troughs, and pivots
• Pipes for slurry material distribution and watering systems
• Partitions/skylights for barns, greenhouses, poultry bins, dairy farms, sheds, kennels, workshops, and roofing systems
• Gate rollers for livestock gates

Harvesting and Planting

For planting and harvesting, performance plastics provide tough, reliable solutions designed to withstand the demands of the field. These materials offer superior resistance to impact, wear, and harsh weather conditions, ensuring consistent performance in challenging environments. Additionally, with their resistance to corrosion and chemicals, performance plastics extend the lifespan of critical components exposed to soil, fertilizers, and moisture, making them an essential choice for agricultural machinery. Shatter-resistant and self-lubricating, these materials minimize maintenance requirements, ensuring smoother, more reliable operations in the field.

Applications:

• Panels (shields, shrouds, side panels, roof components)
• Pipe (slurry material distribution, watering systems)
• Irrigation (pipe, valves, nozzles, bearings)
• Planting/harvesting (seed boxes, bearings/bushings, slide pads)
• Seals (bucket elevators, bearings, spray systems, oil/fuel systems)
• PVC conduit for hydroponic gardens
