New models added to range of irrigation solutions
30th December 2023
At LAMMA ’24, Briggs Irrigation will focus on new models from its range of irrigation solutions, including its new compact boom and the latest raingun.
The R52 Compact has a structural width of 52m but can irrigate a width of up to 72m when fitted with sprinklers at either end. The new boom can be folded to just under 2.9m to ensure road transport is safe and straightforward. An optional ‘travel kit’ can be provided.
The new Compact can be set up or folded for transport by just one person. A 500kg weight reduction compared with existing models makes it even easier to handle and helps reduce ground compaction.
In additional to the 52m model, 46m, 40m and 35m booms are available and a high level ‘elevation’ version for tall crops can also be supplied.
The latest raingun avoids the risk of soaking passers-by, as well as areas not requiring irrigation, by incorporating a timer to change the irrigation angle after a set time interval. The Rotorkit has adjustable stops to define each irrigation sector and a multiple-position lever to work within different angles. Once these are set up the mechanical timer controls the length of time angled irrigation is used before it reverts to the traditional spray area.
The mechanical system can be fitted to any gun trolley on any brand of hosereel machine.
The company will also be exhibiting examples from its extensive range of pumps, hosereels and ancillary irrigation equipment.
Stand number: Hall 6, stand 720.
