Discover the vital role Broekema’s rod conveyor belts play in agriculture, from root crop processing to the harvesting of fruits, nuts, and bulbs. Engineered for durability and efficiency, our solutions support a broad spectrum of farming operations, ensuring that from the moment of harvest to the end of the processing line, quality and productivity are maintained.
Broekema’s rod conveyor belts are integral to the efficient processing of root crops and vegetables. Our belts are designed to withstand harsh conditions and handling the rigorous demands of transporting potatoes, carrots, beets, onions, and more, ensuring minimal damage and maximum yield.
In the harvesting of fruits and nuts, our solutions are tailored to handle delicate products such as apples, almonds, walnuts, and peanuts to preserve their quality.
Specialized in bulb harvesting, Broekema’s rod conveyor belts are designed to manage the unique challenges of this sector. From tulips to garlic, our belts ensure efficient and careful handling, reducing damage and preserving the quality of bulbs during harvesting and processing.
Broekema also provides specialized applications for other key agricultural sectors. We offer custom-engineered solutions for significant sectors such as:
Sugar Cane Elevator
Broekema’s Sugar Cane Elevator uses advanced technology to improve sugar cane harvesting and reduce maintenance. Traditional elevators need frequent upkeep, which increases costs and downtime. Our system features a patented sieving web that carries the cane up the incline, minimizing friction and wear.
This web removes more debris and soil, resulting in a cleaner harvest and lower operational costs. The broader sieving area and higher belt speeds improve the quality and capacity of the harvest, ensuring better product delivery to mills. Using a roller-supported sieving web instead of scraping the cane across the elevator floor reduces maintenance needs and eliminates the need for periodic floor renovations. Maintenance tasks, such as replacing the web and rollers, can be done in the field, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Silentium Drive
Broekema’s Silentium Drive advances feederhouse technology by replacing traditional steel chains with a more efficient and durable belt system. This design reduces maintenance by eliminating the need for frequent tensioning and permanent elongation of steel chains. Engineered for higher rotational speeds, the Silentium Drive ensures smoother and more consistent product intake.
The Silentium Drive conversion kit includes all necessary components and a detailed manual for easy installation, allowing farmers to upgrade their feederhouses. This system minimizes downtime and maintenance costs while enhancing operator comfort with its quiet operation. Available for John Deere T&W 500-600 series models, the Silentium Drive brings advanced engineering to everyday agricultural tasks.
