Sprinkler Technology for the Future

The Center Pivot offers the perfect platform for sprinklers to deliver water — the right amount in the right way. R3000 Rotators on potatoes in idaho

3000 ser The vast differences in crops, soils, farming practices and climatic conditions worldwide, coupled with regional differences in the availability of water and energy resources requires a diverse array of center pivot sprinkler performance. Widest Throw Highest Uniformity Low Application Rates Great Sprayhead Great for Sensitive Soils ACCELERATOR Replacement Option

3000 Series Pivot Products In order to select the best product for your needs consider the following: Available pressure Choose performance - save water and energy. Desired uniformity & throw distance Rotator provides highest uniformity numbers possible. Soil types See chart on page 10 for infiltration curves as it relates to application rates. Wind conditions Choose sprinkler with multitrajectory plate options to fight the wind while also filling in the water pattern. The Nelson 3000 Series is an advanced design sprinkler line developed to simplify the variety of sprinkler choices into one basic...

Understanding Application Rates We’d never criticize mother nature, but sometimes “rain-like” irrigation is not the best for soil integrity, soil textures react differently to droplet size and velocity (intensity) and it’s important to understand how a “wet / rest” cycle can be very beneficial to a field, Rotating streams over a wide pattern have proven to be the best possible way to treat the soil, Average application rate (AAR) is the rate of water application over the wetted area. It is an average value assuming uniformity within the wetted area. Pivot average application rates increase with...

3000 SERIES PIVOT PRODUCTS The 3TN Nozzle system is the center of the 3000 Series Pivot Product line. Each sprinkler is made up of an assembly of a cap, plate, body and nozzle. the 3TN nozzle is interchangeable with all 3000 series sprinklers. A variety of connection devices are available to link the sprinkler with a hose or rigid drop. Fixed streams produce a high instantaneous application rate within a small throw diameter.

Modularity is Key COLOR-CODED SYSTEM Water Application (inches per hour) The nozzle sizing system is based on 128th inch increments, e.g. 3TN Nozzle #26 has an orifice diameter of 26/128th inches while 3TN Nozzle #27 has an orifice diameter of 27/128th inches. Odd numbered nozzles have a color box around the number marking. This color box denotes the color of the next larger nozzle size. Treat the soil right.

3000 SERIES PIVOT PRODUCTS 3TN Nozzle Chart DO YOUR DUE DILIGENCE. An accurate nozzle chart is essential to center pivot irrigation. Nelson has developed a highly-sophisticated design tool for dealers and distributors to determine nozzle sizing after entering system specs, selecting pivot spans, fittings, sprinklers and regulators. irrigating in a circle is complex — so make sure you use the necessary tools to get the job done right the first time.

3000 Series Pivot Products R3000 Rotator® R Greater Throw Radius. As a rotating type sprinkler the R3000 Rotator® produces a wider pattern resulting in a lower application rate, reduced runoff and longer soak time. Higher Uniformity. The R3000 greatly improves uniformity because of the increased overlap from adjacent sprinklers. Reduced Wind Drift and Evaporative Loss. The R3000 more than meets the challenge of putting a rotating type sprinkler on drop tubes — down out of the wind — to minimize wind drift and evaporative loss.
