5.3.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION OF THE MAIN COMPONETNS
5.3.1.1 MACHINE DRIVE - FULL-FLOW TURBINE
TX20 full-flow turbine is a specifically designed turbine with
large cross sections and minimum pressure loss. Therefore it
can reach high retraction speeds also at very low flow rate. It
features a highly flow-promoting design and is mounted
directly on the reel shaft. The turbine provides the energy
needed for PE-pipe retraction. Speed is taken directly off the
impeller shaft and transmitted over a two-stage (three-stage)
V-belt drive to the change-speed gearbox.
The change-speed gearbox contains gear wheels which
reduce the turbine’s speed accordingly. The gearbox features
two speeds. Reel drive stop at the end of the irrigation strip is
achieved by disengagement of the toothed clutch.
In combination with the two belt stages the two-speed gearbox allows precise adaptation to existing operating
conditions. As a result, the following retraction speeds (m/h) can be reached:
8 - 30
22 - 45
40 - 80
50 - >100
