Agricultural rubber components operate in some of the harshest conditions of any sector — continuous UV and weather exposure, abrasive soil and crop contact, high-pressure hydraulic systems, and seasonal temperature extremes. Machine downtime during harvest or planting is costly. Component longevity and reliable supply are primary requirements.
Agricultural machinery operates continuously outdoors. Rubber components exposed to UV, rain, ozone, and temperature cycling must use compounds — EPDM and neoprene — that resist this exposure without cracking or hardening over the machine’s working life.
Rubber components in contact with soil, grain, crop residues, and aggregates experience continuous abrasion. Standard rubber compounds wear rapidly in these environments. Polyurethane (PU) provides 3–5x better wear life in abrasive agricultural applications.
Modern agricultural machinery runs sophisticated hydraulic systems for lifting, steering, and implement control — at pressures up to 350 bar. NBR seals and hoses for agricultural hydraulic systems must be specified for the operating pressure and hydraulic fluid type.
Agricultural rubber components may contact fertilisers, pesticides, herbicides, and other agrochemicals. Compound compatibility with the specific agrochemical must be verified — generic weather-resistant specification is not sufficient where chemical contact is present.
URM’s agricultural rubber product range covers machinery sealing, fluid handling, material screening, abrasion protection, and site safety — the full scope of rubber requirements across the agricultural equipment sector.
Rubber Gaskets
Engine, transmission, and hydraulic system gaskets for agricultural machinery. NBR for oil and hydraulic duty; EPDM for coolant and outdoor positions. From drawings or samples.
Rubber Hoses & Elbows
Hydraulic hoses, irrigation hoses, sprayer hoses, and coolant hoses for tractors, combine harvesters, and agricultural equipment. NBR for hydraulic duty; EPDM for water and spray systems.
Custom Rubber Moulded Parts
Grommets, dust seals, vibration mounts, and protective moulded components for agricultural machinery. Produced from OEM drawings in the correct compound for each position.
Rubber Bellows
Protective bellows for agricultural machinery joints, PTO shafts, actuator rods, and seeding mechanisms. Keeps abrasive soil and crop debris out of precision mechanical components.
Plastic Injection Parts
Injection moulded plastic components for agricultural equipment — cable guides, clips, housing components, and fittings alongside rubber components from a single supplier.
PU Parts
Polyurethane components for high-abrasion agricultural positions — harvester wear parts, conveyor scrapers, grain handling liners, and implement protection where PU outperforms standard rubber.
Screen Balls
Rubber screen balls for grain cleaning, seed sorting, and aggregate screening on agricultural machinery and in grain handling facilities. Prevents mesh blinding and maintains throughput.
Rubber traffic cones
Rubber traffic cones for farm entrances, grain store traffic management, and rural road safety during harvest operations — more durable than plastic equivalents in farm conditions.

1. Outdoor durability specification
We specify EPDM for outdoor rubber components on agricultural equipment — the standard compound for UV, ozone, and weather resistance. Not all rubber is equivalent outdoors and we will not supply compounds that will fail prematurely in field conditions.
2. PU capability for high-abrasion positions
URM produces polyurethane components alongside rubber — providing access to PU’s superior abrasion resistance for grain handling, soil contact, and conveyor positions where standard rubber compounds wear too quickly.
3. Agricultural hydraulic expertise
High-pressure agricultural hydraulic systems require correctly specified NBR hoses and gaskets — right compound, right pressure rating, right temperature range. Our engineers specify against your hydraulic circuit requirements.
4. Full agricultural rubber range
Gaskets, hoses, moulded parts, bellows, PU components, screen balls, and traffic cones — the full rubber and polyurethane component range for agricultural equipment from one ISO 9001 certified supplier.
5. OEM tooling management
Agricultural machinery manufacturers produce equipment platforms for 10–15 year cycles. Custom tooling is held in our library and available throughout the platform production life — consistent dimensions and compound across the full run.
6. Belgium-based EU supply
URM has been headquartered in Belgium since 1935 — well-positioned for European agricultural machinery OEMs in Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, and France. Fast EU delivery for production scheduling and seasonal demand peaks.
EPDM is the standard compound for rubber components on agricultural machinery exposed to outdoor conditions — UV radiation, ozone, rain, and temperature cycling. EPDM resists these failure mechanisms over the machine's working life without cracking or hardening. NBR is specified for positions in contact with hydraulic oil or fuel. Neoprene is available where combined weather and oil resistance is required.
Rubber screen balls are used in vibrating screen machines to prevent mesh blinding — the blocking of screen apertures by particles that stick in or across the mesh openings. The balls bounce against the underside of the screen mesh during operation, dislodging lodged particles and maintaining screening throughput. In grain cleaning and seed sorting machines, they keep cleaning screens operating at full efficiency. Available in various diameters to match the screen mesh specification.
Yes. URM produces polyurethane components for high-abrasion agricultural positions — grain handling chute liners, conveyor scrapers, hopper liners, and wear guides where grain, soil, or aggregate contact causes rapid rubber wear. Polyurethane typically provides 3–5x better abrasion life than natural or SBR rubber in these environments. Please describe the abrasive material, throughput rate, and contact geometry when enquiring for PU components.
Crop sprayer hoses must be compatible with the agrochemicals being applied — pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, and liquid fertilisers vary considerably in chemical aggressiveness. EPDM has good general resistance to many water-based spray solutions. NBR is more appropriate for oil-based formulations. For specific agrochemicals, we require the product name or active ingredient to confirm compound compatibility.
Yes. URM supplies NBR hydraulic hoses and elbows for agricultural machinery hydraulic systems — tractor lift circuits, combine harvester hydraulics, and implement control systems. We require the operating pressure, temperature, bore diameter, and hydraulic fluid specification when quoting. Some newer agricultural systems use biodegradable hydraulic fluids that require specific compound assessment.
Standard rubber compounds (NR, SBR, EPDM) offer good abrasion resistance in low-intensity wear environments. Polyurethane (PU) significantly outperforms them in high-intensity abrasion — grain conveying, soil contact, and aggregate handling — where the abrasive action is continuous and the particle hardness is high. The trade-off is that PU has lower resilience at low temperatures and reduced flexibility at very high deflection. Our engineers specify the correct material based on the abrasion environment, temperature range, and component geometry.
