SOLAR IRRIGATION CENTRE PIVOTS

SOLAR IRRIGATION CENTRE PIVOT
(Manufacture, Delivery and Installation)

UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY
Designed and built as a SOLAR DRIVEN PIVOT which can also run on ESKOM power
A solar pivot that requires no batteries to run in daylight.

MECHANICS
Pivot is driven by a variable speed drive which ensures the pivot moves constantly providing even water distribution as the pivot does not stop/start or jerk.

SUPERIOR STABILITY
A wider wheelbase with heavy duty wide tyres provide traction en resistance to wet conditions.
A 3-point cable support system which improves the pivots stability in all weather conditions.

WATER
The pivot is able to operate with low water pressure (1bar) and only same size nozzles used throughout the pivot with no stepping of flow rate.
Lower pumping costs (up to 70% versus larger pivots) only requires 1 bar at center versus 3 to 6 bar on larger pivots.
Better water distribution (15% improvement).
Continuously moving due to variable speed drive.
Running costs are minimised and efficiency maximised.

MAINTENANCE
Increased pivot life span (+- 50 years) as water flows through plastic water pipe as opposed to water flowing through the main steel structure means no corrosion.
The electric cable is also concealed to avoid theft.

DRIP CURTAIN
- Mobile drip (MD) for no wind drift and low evaporation and estimated 35% water savings verses high pressure pivot sprinklers.
- Drip curtain (DC) for no wind drift and low evaporation and estimated 35% water savings verses high pressure pivot sprinklers.
- Very Low evaporation, less than 5%
- Low wind drift
- High eficiency of water distribution up to 97%
- Low pressure requirement (0.4 bar to 0.8 bar)
- Cost effective
- Removable cap to permit fast and easy field inspection
- Low Variation Coeficient (CV)
- Larger self-flushing turbulent flow channel
