Harvest Time

Time is money.
Whether you are harvesting 100 acres of soybeans or thousands of acres of corn, time is critical to get the crop off the field and delivered efficiently. Reducing down-time of critical parts and equipment and reducing carry-back of grain are essential to maximizing your profits. SLIP Plate® brand products have been designed to maximize profits by ensuring that your efficiency on the field harvesting. Only SLIP Plate premium lubricants and coatings have a track record of increasing profits for farmers world-wide.

Sliding friction wear and tear reduces the life and performance of farm equipment, and ultimately leads to costly repairs, downtime and significant profit losses.

Carry-back also robs farmers of profits by reducing the amount of grain transported from the field to market or storage. Left uncoated, trailers and gravity grain trailers allow grain to hang up when unloaded, resulting in up to 2% of the load transported to remain in the trailer.

If you are transporting a 45,000 LB load of corn to the granary, you could be transporting over 900 LB of corn back and forth from the field that never ends up in the grain bin. This translates to lost profits and increased time on the field as less corn is transported with each trip. You may even incur increased transportation costs, as more trucks may be needed.

SLIP Plate brand products have been the premium graphite based lubricants and coatings on the market for farmers for over 30 years. When applied correctly to bare metal, SLIP Plate bonds to produce a slick surface, preventing carry-back. It also reduces bridging of seeds in the truck during cold weather, and increases unloading efficency. Unlike costly polymer and plastic inserts that suffer continual surface wear, SLIP Plate sprays on quickly and lasts for the harvest season.

When the demand on farm machinery is high and breakdowns are not option, you can count on SLIP Plate for Performance, Quality, Consistency, Innovation, and Value.

Quality
When you want quality, you want SLIP Plate graphite coatings. Competitive products may try to look like SLIP Plate® or make claims that they are equal in performance, but experience in the field and in the lab show that they are not the same.

All graphite powders are not equal. Certain types of natural graphites can contain abrasive materials such as quartz, carbides and iron. These impurities can scratch steel, and increase damage to critical parts rather than prevent them. SLIP Plate products use high quality, internally crushed, screened and certified graphite powders to produce the highest level of coating protection. Many graphite lubricant products purchase what they believe are similar graphite components on the open market from the cheapest supplier. Superior Graphite Co. uses qualified, consistent and proven graphites from internal and certified sources. These are all produced under ISO 9001:2000 certified quality systems in Chicago, IL USA. Is trusting your $300,000 Combine to a graphite coating produced from the lowest priced source on the market worth the risk to your operation?
