Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment

Center Pivot Irrigation Equipment Overview

Center pivot irrigation equipment also known center pivot sprinkler or pointer-type sprinkler, it is a large-scale sprinkler with a sprinkler head supported on a support that can automatically walk around the center of the water supply system while rotating and sprinkler irrigation.

It consists of a central tower, a span unit, a drive unit, a spraying unit, a cantilever, a tail gun and an electronically controlled synchronization system. A number of spans equipped with spray nozzles are connected with each other through flexible joints to adapt to different slope plots. Each driving unit is equipped with a gear motor, which is decelerated through a gear box, the most terminal pylon starts first, and the adjacent pylons are started one by one, and then all the pylons run one after another, rotating around the central pivot axis, so as to realize the automatic spraying operation of a circular area.

Performance Features and Benefits.

• A single unit can control 3,000 acres of land, with a high degree of automation, simple operation, very low power consumption and low labor costs.
• Suitable crops: alfalfa, corn, wheat, potato, sugar beet, grain and other cash crops.
• Uniform irrigation, spraying uniformity coefficient can reach more than 85%, low investment cost, service life of 20 years.
• Water-saving equipment, water-saving effect can be increased by 50%, mu output value provides 30-50%.

Application Scenarios

Alfalfa grass, leaf wheatgrass, flower, corn, commercial turf, sugar beet, wheat, sugarcane, potato, oilseed rape, undulating terrain, reel sprinkler irrigation.

How to Choose

Irrigation area

Selection is based on the size and shape of the farmland. For round and large farmland, regular center pivot sprinkler can meet the needs; if the farmland is irregular or long, consider panning or panning and rotating sprinkler.

System flow rate

Determine the required flow rate of the system according to the irrigation demand.

Water source conditions

Consider the type (well, river, reservoir, etc.) and quality of the water supply source and the inlet pressure.

Crop type

Different crops have different requirements for irrigation water volume and irrigation intensity. Shallow-rooted crops such as vegetables are suitable for sprinklers with low irrigation intensity; while taller crops such as corn can be selected for sprinklers with longer range and slightly higher irrigation intensity.

Sprinkler performance

Includes sprinkler head range, flow rate and degree of atomization. The range should be able to cover the irrigated area; the flow rate should match the water supply capacity of the water source; and the degree of atomization should be appropriate to avoid damaging the crop.
