Less than 1 % of the ground water is available for the mankind. More than 70 % of this tiny quantity goes to agricultural uses. It is fundamental to optimize the use of this water quantity. Furthermore, the world population keeps increasing in number. In 2050, we will be a bit less than 10 billion people. It is our present, it is our future. A hungrier and hungrier and, most of all, thirstier and thirstier planet. The higher water consumption is for agricultural uses. The outdated irrigation systems reduces the water availability for the local communities and for the environment in general....

Every drop is like gold. It is life, it is the future. It is getting rarer and rarer, more and more uncertain and precious. For this reason, water must be collected, guided and given out with great care and precision. Otech knows how many water drops every square metre of your field needs. We know how to provide and give out these drops to the ground, in order to let it yield its best while exploiting as less as possible. Intelligence, technology, care and passion.

HISTORY OF OTECH PLANT IN PUYOO At the beginning of the 1980s, Lockwood, an American manufacturer leader in the new pivot industry, decided to establish himself outside the USA to conquer new markets. Aquitaine, a region in the south-west of France, was the destination he chose for its big farming potential and for its opportunities. Thanks to its sanded soils, its adequate climate and its water resources, easily exploitable, the development of the mechanized irrigation by those pioneers rapidly promoted this region in the front row in Europe. Nowadays, this ancient marshy desert is the...

YOUR NEEDS, OUR METHOD. THINKING BEFORE MAKING STEP 1 Soil, size and field shape, difference in height, relief, outline and obstacles. STEP 2 Weather forecast. STEP 3 Cultivation, plant, specific water needs. Method of application for the irrigation. STEP 4 Available resources (water, electricity, implementation, etc.). STEP 5 Specific client’s needs. Economic survey: investment costs and usage costs.

On a farm, the irrigation is always an important investment. As we operate on the business outcome, the work organisation and the natural resources, it is fundamental to take the adequate time to choose the most appropriate installation. Otech can be your partner in this project to define with you the best solution for your needs. STEP 6 Project concept, creation and sizing of water and electric supply. STEP 8 Logistics, preparation, shipment. STEP 9 Installation, implementation. STEP 10 Customer service, spare parts, maintenance.

PIVOT LATERAL FIRST

PIVOT POINT FIRST _ Mini Pivot Compact pyramidal structure in galvanised steel with two belts on either side with a 4 mm thick pipe. Watertightness through swivel on vertical pipe guaranteed by lip seal from the low pressures. The best value for money for the appliances up to max two spans that reduces the required volume of the concrete slab to preserve more cultivated surface. _ Control box Mini Rain _ Electric Collector Electric collector with minimum twelve rings (25 A to 500 V) IP233 anti-UV watertight under cap, mounted on watertight ball bearing, triple reach contacts, terminal...

The pivot point is the center of the irrigated circle. Its function is to keep the span in the parcel center. Hence, it must withstand two main forces: a traction force of the moving spans and the weight of the first span. Besides the single resistance of each element of the pivot point, _ Central Element As standard, coupling with the first IP233 anti-UV watertight, span relieve pressures on the upper elbow for tough grounds. Galvanised steel coupler to protect two low-pressure lip seals against environmental threats (UV, sandstorms, etc.). IP66 conforming to IEC 60529 watertight...

LATERAL CARTS FIRST The 2RM1-S lateral has two drive wheels and allows the machine to move laterally in automated back and forth to irrigate a rectangular parcel. The hydraulic supply is pulled by the motor powered from one or more successive hydrants. _ Swivel elbow power supply The swivel elbow allows the connection of the polyethylene or flexible hose on the cart and the setting up of the buckle at the time of the inversion at the end of the parcel in order to reduce the human interventions on the machine The wheels are ballasted with antifreeze gel to enhance the traction cart function....

The laterals are moving irrigation systems to irrigate rectangular parcels. On these machines, there is no fixed anchor point to the ground; therefore, the lateral must support the mechanical pressures of the moving loads. Hence, the cart frame is made in S275 galvanised steel _ Above ground guidance The lateral First is equipped with a hockey stick guidance system based on a furrow dug into the ground to guarantee an easy use, reliability, safety and precision. in compliance with the NF EN ISO 1461 and it is equipped with an electric management system in compliance with the NF EN909...

ST FIRST TOWER The tower supports the main pipeline and ensures the hydraulic and mechanical connection between the spans. It is motorized and enables the displacement of the machine. It also must resist to the various mechanical pressures such as the torsions due to the relief, to the stresses on the gear and to the forces between the spans. This span-structured tower is designed with S275 galvanized steel high-quality components. The tower Otech offers an under-span clearance of 3.20 m, perfect for the high-growing crops. _ Tower control unit Highly reliable control unit equipped with an...
