Dan Jensen, Graco’s Lubrication Equipment Division Global Product Marketing Manager, said:

“With 17 available assemblies based on Graco’s CSP technology, the portfolio of options are compatible with most on-road truck and tractor configurations and are 30 percent lighter than the previous generation. The EZ Greaser platform makes it easy to upgrade to a fully-automatic lubrication system with the option of adding a pump such as the electric powered G-Mini pump or air-powered E-Series pump.”

The new harrow will please even the most demanding customers with its functionality and thoughtful technical solutions.

A significant advantage of the unit is the unique Zero Maintenance principle. There is no need to think about operating costs anymore, since Ducat-8 has no lubrication points, even on hydraulic cylinder joints. All moving mechanisms of the harrow are equipped with plain bearings made of high-strength wear-resistant polymers. Application of reinforcing materials and special lubricants reduces friction and completely eliminates the lubrication of structures throughout the entire service life of the harrow.

According to numerous requests of farmers for more convenient operation, now it is possible to adjust the depth of the rollers in two ways. In addition to pin adjustment, the depth of roller penetration can be adjusted by means of hydraulics.

The useful features of the harrow include new system of folding to transport dimensions of 3×4 meters, as well as unique function of increasing ground clearance in the transport position by means of withdrawal of support wheel, that makes operation easier. Moreover, replacement rollers are available for different types of soils and conditions of agriculture, including complex ones.

In general, with Ducat-8 farmers will reduce additional costs for maintenance of equipment, reduce the time of field works and minimize unproductive downtime due to repairs and maintenance.

Graphene has been called “the king of the new materials” by the scientists since it has the best electric and thermal conductivity with the thinnest thickness and maximum intensity. Additionally, the lubricant industry shows great market potential. At present, the annual output of lubricants in China is more than 5 million tons with more than a 200-billion-yuan market volume, which could be doubled by 2022.

LiuGong has achieved substantial breakthroughs in the development of grapheme-modified lubricants, not only in the practice of dispersion stability of graphene and graphene lubricants formulation, but also has established a standard and evaluation system for the determination of graphene additives. The specific lubricants modified by graphene materials have shown significant improvements in the resistance and friction reduction against extreme pressure. This provides a new breakthrough for the solutions to solve the long-term recessive problems such as the wear and noise of key components under tough conditions.

LiuGong intends to complete 3 kinds of graphene-modified lubricants in 2 years and achieve the application in LiuGong’s CE products in 5 years. The intentions also include the launch of correlative products and parts, and subsequently to influence the relative industries such as automobile and steel. Relying on the new products and technology developed from the graphene, the industrial output value of LiuGong Lubricants Company will likely to be increased by 20%.
