1. OPERATING PRINCIPLE
Hose reel irrigators mainly consists of a long range irrigator, placed on a rubber wheel trolley
connected to a polyethylene hose.
1 Winder roller or drum or reel
2 Superstructure or upper frame
3 Hose guide system
4 Long range irrigator
During machine preparation the polyethylene hose is paid out. After that, during irrigator operation,
hose reeling in is controlled by the machine onto a horizontal axis drum (roller) placed on a
wheeled galvanised steel frame.
In most cases reeling in is hydraulic with turbine.
A motor pump unit may convey pressurised water into the hose.
Adjustment of the winding or reeling in speed (which must be constant for the whole duration of the
position) is indispensable in order to assure even water height on the irrigated surface.
Almost all models are fitted with a mechanical type speed regulator: the most widespread
regulators are the reel probes (bar joint) that act on bypass.
The Machines have been solely designed and constructed for irrigation of agricultural plots with
any kind of crop, parks, sport facilities and hothouses.
They essentially consist of:
2.1 turbine;
2.2 gearbox with gears in oil bath;
2.3 safety devices for PTO and reeling in out of stowed position;
2.4 motion drive to the roller via crown gear (double crown for large machines);
2.5 hose guide moved by worm screw;
2.6 bypass to adjust speed;
2.7 glycerine pressure gauge;
2.8 digital metre counter;
2.9 turntable and holder;
2.10
base rotation and lifting/lowering of the trolley loader, of the drawbar lifting foot and of the
right and left wheels, actuated by hydraulic system;
2.11
trolley loader and parking feet;
2.12
2-wheel frame (4 for larger machines) with water system with double inlet;
2.13
2-wheel irrigator traveller;
2.14
irrigator with set of nozzles;
2.15
Polyethylene (PE) hose.
