R5 Rotator

Product catalog summary

Overview: The R5 Rotator is a micro sprinkler from the Nelson Rotator® family, known for its unique and patented drive principle. It offers high uniformity and a greater throw radius compared to other micro sprinklers.

Specifications: The R5 operates at flow rates ranging from 9 to 29 GPH (34 to 110 LPH) and is available with various nozzle and plate options, including standard and flow control nozzles. The recommended pressure range varies depending on the nozzle and plate combination.

Rotator® Technology: The R5 uses a reactionary drive force created by directing the water stream into an offset channel on the rotor plate. A viscous silicone fluid controls the rotation speed, ensuring uniform distribution and better soil infiltration.

Installation and Accessories: The R5 can be mounted on PVC risers or stakes with various adapters and tubing options. Installation tools and accessories are available to facilitate setup and ensure optimal performance.

Stream Deflection Options: Stream splitters and deflector caps are available to protect tree trunks and reduce the radius for watering newly planted trees.

Full Coverage Irrigation: The R5 provides a full coverage irrigation solution, offering benefits such as improved infiltration, reduced crop stress, and increased nutrient availability. It is suitable for tree and vine crops.

Warranty: Nelson Rotator® products are warranted for one year against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service conditions.
