Choosing the Right Sprinkler Package

With today's higher energy prices and the need for water conservation, a uniform and efficient sprinkler package is critical to your operation. Choosing the correct water application solution is vital to the performance of your center pivot or linear. The first set of criteria you need to consider includes: Soil Type (and Texture) Proper sprinkler selection and design help reduce soil sealing. Crops to be Raised Crop height and the water’s ability to penetrate the crop canopy are significant considerations in sprinkler head design. Terrain of Field The slope of the field must be considered to...

Lowering the position of the sprinkler reduces spray and drift caused by wind and evaporation. Desired sprinkler placement can be achieved with various Valley applications, such as drops (flexible hose, semi-rigid, and fixed) and boombacks. There are many options available to best fit your needs. Drops Flexible Hose • Can be dragged through the crop • Available in 3/4" (1,9 cm) hose Rigid Galvanized • Available for truss rod height application • Utilizes 3/4" (1,9 cm), schedule 40 galvanized steel Semi-Rigid Polyethylene • Corrosion resistant • Minimal flexibility Semi-Rigid PVC • Non-corrosive...

Control Valves Pressure Regulators You’ll fully appreciate the extra built-in quality and reliability of the Nelson control valve when it performs under the most demanding operating conditions. Different options are available to allow you to control downstream pressure, maintain upstream pressure and control the rate-of-flow to prevent water hammer. Specify a Nelson 800 Series Control Valve at the pivot point and as part of your end gun control package. Precision manufactured to feature a dampening system, plug resistance and expanded flow range Single strut technology is standard in all...
