The stakes of a successful harvest run deep in the Australian Wheatbelt, further than the reaping stage. When the grain is harvested, the struggle against the elements, the unpredictable storms, moisture and pests, begins. It takes more than mere fortune to win this liquid gold and an industrial grade of protection is needed.
It is at that point that the exactness of Leister Australia technology rewrites the logistics of storing grains, so that every tonne of produce is covered by high-performance and heat-welded seams.

The Urgency of 18m/min: Why 18m/min is important
The Australian agricultural sector does not prosper on efficiency as a luxury but a necessity that is scale-driven. Speed of production could be the difference between a saved yield and a spoiled one when it comes to covering large grain bunkers, or making the heavy-duty transport tarpaulins.
Unrivalled Productivity with Leister Australia
The conventional welding techniques usually cannot be consistent at high speeds. Nonetheless, with the help of state-of-the-art automatic welders such as the VARIANT T1 which is offered by Leister Australia, the operators can attain up to 18m/min of welding speed. This high production rate enables the production of the huge PVC and PE liners installed in grain bunkers to be produced in record time without affecting the structural integrity of the assembly.
The Art of a Hermetic Seal, against the Elements
The climate in Australia is notoriously unkind, and UV radiation and changes in temperature can destroy poor-quality materials. A welded “shield” is only as strong as its weakest seam.
- Taut and Tear-Resistant: Welding With high speed, a steady uniform melt area is achieved, minimizing chances of hot spots that would cause leakages.
- Waterproofing:In storage of grains, a millimetre distance between a seam may result in the ingress of moisture that will cause fungal proliferation and loss of the entire crop.
- Pest Protection: With precision welding, a literal barrier is formed against insects and rodents to ensure the biosecurity of the harvest.
Certainty in Distant Scenes
Equipment downtime is expensive, be it in the Mallee or the Darling Downs. The rugged construction of the tools supplied by Leister Australia makes them able to withstand the dust and heat of the field. Through the integration of Swiss engineering, with local support, farmers and fabricators can have a continuous shield on the food security of the nation.
Summary
It takes not only the best of the best textiles but also the finest welding technology in the world in order to secure the grain harvest of Australia. The industry is able to reduce the time required to make durable, airtight and reliable covers with the 18m/min potential of Leister Australia equipment than at any time before.
