What types of housings are used in the manufacture of mowers?

The housings of self-propelled mowers play a key role in their operation, providing protection against mechanical damage and external factors such as moisture, dust and UV radiation. In this article, we will discuss the various types of housings used in the manufacture of mowers, with particular emphasis on laminate as the material used by our company. 

 

Laminate as a housing material

Laminate is a plastic material with high strength, lightness and corrosion resistance, which is produced by combining different layers of materials, such as glass fibres or resins. Its properties make it an ideal material for manufacturing self-propelled mower housings, which must be resistant to various chemicals and atmospheric precipitation. Furthermore, laminate is easy to process, which allows for the creation of various shapes and designs of housings, as well as the use of various technologies, such as 3D printing or vacuum moulding.

 

Advantages of laminate housings

Laminate mower housings have many advantages, which is why they are increasingly being chosen by mower manufacturers. Firstly, they are lighter than metal housings, which translates into a lower weight of the entire mower and easier manoeuvrability, which is particularly important when mowing large areas. Secondly, laminate is resistant to corrosion, chemicals and atmospheric precipitation, which guarantees a long service life for the housing, even in harsh operating conditions. Finally, laminate housings can be produced in various colours and designs, allowing the appearance of the mower to be customised to the customer's needs, as well as introducing innovative aesthetic solutions.
