Sprinkler irrigation system

Sprinkler irrigation is a pressurised irrigation system that distributes water as a uniform rainfall to crops.

The sprinkler irrigation system allows you to cover larger areas of land using less water.

If you are looking to irrigate large areas of land in a homogeneous and professional way, here are the applications and techniques for installing it in your crop.

Types of Sprinkler Irrigation

Self-mechanised systems

These are self-propelled systems fitted with electric motors or hydraulic systems that allow them to move along the irrigation surface.

Within these systems are the systems irrigation pivots, lateral displacement systems (boom systems) and other watering machines.

Conventional systems

  • Fixed systems: the sprinklers are placed in the established frame, and the piping system can be either underground or above ground, with the stem where the sprinkler will be incorporated as a protruding part and with the appropriate height.

  • Semi-fixed systems: These are essentially systems that are moved from one area to another manually or mechanised by rapid dismantling of the system. These systems include irrigation wings and irrigation cannons.

Difference between sprinkler irrigation and micro-sprinkler irrigation

Sprinkler irrigation differs from micro-sprinkler irrigation in that they provide irrigation by means of very fine droplets.

The choice of one system or another is established according to the technical-economic criteria that allow or do not allow its installation, such as: the surface to be irrigated, the orography of the land, access to electricity on the farm, etc.

Sprinkler irrigation is used on uneven terrain where water resources are abundant. It is also commonly used for the application of anti-frost irrigation and the application of phytohormones.

For water-scarce areas and extensive terrain it is recommended to use drip irrigation systems to optimise water use.

Characteristics of the sprinkler irrigation system

  • Lower water consumption than flood irrigation systems.

  • Great adaptability to uneven terrain, with large differences in surface elevation.

  • It allows water to be dosed with good precision.

  • Its distribution on the plant material depends on the wind, although at low speeds it is very homogeneous.

Materials for a sprinkler irrigation system

  • The range, flow rate and droplet size will determine the choice of one or other model of sprinkler or micro-sprinkler, both circular and sectorial.

  • Classic Aluminium Installation

  • PE installation with quick couplings

  • Buried installation with PVC or PE

Calculate the irrigation system for your crop

Sprinkler or micro-sprinkler irrigation is perfect for low volume irrigation of horticultural crops, fruit crops, flowers, greenhouses, nurseries, frost protection, garden irrigation and sports fields.
