Warmer weather has arrived, and with it comes a busy time of year for everyone in agriculture. If you move grain, sand, seed, or fertilizer, you understand the millions upon millions of tiny pieces that will move through your steel spouts this summer. Maybe you’ve already made plans to replace your spouts once they wear out from the constant wear and tear, or possibly set aside money in your budget for these costly replacements each season. But…what if you didn’t have to? What if there was a way to protect your metal spouts from the abrasion caused by millions of tiny pieces being processed day after day, saving you time and money? We created Tuff-Tube to solve exactly that problem. With our agricultural rubber protection and parts, you can ensure the longevity and efficiency of your farming equipment while reducing maintenance costs.

What is Tuff-Tube?

In less than one season, abrasion from small particles can completely destroy an unprotected steel spout. The Tuff-Tube is a urethane liner that is designed to significantly reduce the abrasion of grain, seed, and fertilizer handling, extending the life of your equipment. It protects your valuable machinery -- and your bottom line!

Why Trust Tuff-Tube?

    • It’s easy to install. There’s no need to remove your spout, and there’s no need for tools! The Tuff-Tube simply slides into the existing spout and is held in place by a tapered leading edge at the top of the spout. This also serves to keep particles from slipping between the spout and the liner. 
    • It ships fast. We keep many standard sizes (up to 20” diameter and in lengths of up to 20’) of Tuff-Tube in stock at all times, because it’s one of our most in-demand products. Turnaround times are quick and we pride ourselves in accurate shipping estimates. 
    • It lasts a long time. Gone are the days of replacing your spouts every season. The Tuff-Tube provides extensive abrasion resistance, and it can be rotated 120-180 degrees to present additional wear surfaces. 
    • It’s built to work. We manufacture Tuff-Tube using our proprietary urethane blend, Endurawear. The unique properties of Endurawear mean you never have to worry about buckling, cracking, peeling, or plugging issues.

This season, the best thing you can do for your business is to order Tuff-Tube spout liners. Save yourself the headache of liners that don’t perform and save yourself the money you once spent on replacing expensive machinery. Give us a call today for a quote on the Tuff-Tube!
