Engineering Philosophy

At Ausplow, we strive to ‘do the job right the first time’. We firstly apply this to Agronomical best practice, by engineering our products to achieve the best soil conditions and seed placement. We enhance this technology by ensuring accurate delivery andEngineering_Philosophy_1.jpg distribution of seed and fertiliser.

‘Doing the job right the first time’ is also about engineering our products to achieve exceptional reliability, because we understand the importance of not stopping, once major seeding programs have commenced. Often not stopping involves seeding in dry and difficult conditions, and we know from years of field experience that this ultimately translates back to quality products and engineering.

 To achieve this, we not only use good design to maximise reliability and accuracy. Choice of materials is also critical. That’s why we use heat-treated spring steel and quenched and tempered steel plate when manufacturing our tines. In addition, we use oil impregnated sintered bushings throughout the tine parallelogram with double sealing for maintenance free longevity. The hydraulic jump cylinder uses a unique design that keeps the sliding surface lubricated and clean when the tine is in the working position.

Engineering_Philosophy_2.jpg Excellence and practical design extends to the Multistream airseeder. Using a ‘Type A’ class air delivery system this allows us to keep the design simple and reliable. The use of marine grade stainless steels and engineering plastics minimises the risk of corrosion from more aggressive fertilisers and chemicals, ensuring years of maintenance free service.

 Finally ‘doing it right,’ means that we don’t rest on our laurels because we constantly strive to improve our products in all areas. We are a company that has been built on world class engineering and product development and that is our ongoing commitment to our customers.
