WE’LL HELP YOU MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
Irrigation Industries will analyse your operation to help customise a sprinkler package that meets your irrigation needs.
Drops
Fabrications from galvanised steel, PVC pipe or reinforced hose – drops are designed to minimise water loss due to evaporation and wind drift. Lengths can vary from just below the unit’s truss rods to approximately 45.7 cm above the ground.
Offsets
Allowing drops to be angled away from the pipeline, offsets provide increased coverage and longer soak times.
Boombacks
Designed to minimise wheel-track problems, Boombacks place the sprinkler behind the drive unit.
Pressure Regulators
Available in both standard and heavy-duty versions, pressure regulators help ensure uniform water distribution. Zimmatic pressure regulators are intended to operate from 6 to 50 psi (0.4 to 3.5 bar).
End Guns
End guns can add five to ten more irrigated acres (2 to 4 ha) in a standard quarter section. Booster pumps are available in either 130 gpm (8.2 lps) or 200 gpm (12.6 lps) sizes when additional pressure is required to increase end gun reach.
COVERAGE FIT FOR YOUR NEEDS
Vermeeren Bros and Irrigation Industries will analyse your operation to help you customise a sprinkler package that meets your irrigation needs.
Rotating-Spray Sprinklers
Featuring changeable plates and a choice of individual stream designs, rotating-spray sprinklers are designed for greater coverage on heavier soils or rolling terrain.
Fixed-Spray Sprinklers
Available in a variety of options to match crop, climate and wind conditions, fixed-spray sprinklers are intended for use on lighter soils or flat terrain and can be adapted for in-furrow applications. These units are also compatible with both germination and chemigation plates.
LEPA Sprinklers
Operating in both bubble and spray modes, LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) sprinklers are designed to reduce surface evaporation. Chemigation pads are also available for most crops.
