Agriculture applications and parts.

Growing the food and fibres for the world is becoming increasingly advanced and tech-dependant, with many innovations (and long-established practices) relying on hard-wearing rubber components that often need to be chemical and/or UV resistant.

Derby Rubber is able to deliver ready-made and tailored rigid, semi-rigid and flexible rubber solutions to meet an array of applications in this highly diverse industry. Our ag-specific products include hoses and tubing, irrigation and pump gaskets, drain plugs and valve seats, isolation mounts, noise and vibration suppressors, spray and fertiliser dispersal components, and a range of seals, sleeves, and extruded rubber products.

For enhanced safety, our durable rubber compounds are resistant to most pesticides and regular farm chemicals and, because they’ve been developed to handle Australia’s harsh and varied conditions, their hardiness in all environments means they’re less likely to need replacing when you’re out in the field.

Derby Rubber formulates its rubber compounds based upon years of experience developing and manufacturing products for demanding applications. This results in improved service durability of its rubber-based components, which significantly reduces maintenance costs.

We are 100% Australian owned, with strategic commitments to growth and ongoing investment in new technologies, Industry 4.0 and R&D. In addition, our robust supply chain helps to deliver greater efficiency and reduce wait-times or down-time when components need to be replaced. We regularly work with agricultural engineers and specialists to develop unique solutions for the myriad of challenges that the industry encounters as new innovations and processes are tested and adopted.
