The unique Floppy Sprinkler® design allows for different installation
options as required by the crop: short/tall risers and now also an
overhead wire system with no equipment on the ground. This is ideal for
vegetables, lucerne and other crops where tillage practice favours an
overhead system.

Riser System
Top of Page
Riser technical
specifications:
- One sprinkler uses 730 litres per hour.
The flow controller maintains the discharge within 5% from 1.8 to 6 Bar.
- The minimum recommended pressure at the
sprinkler is 2 Bar.
- For sprinkler pressures the gross
precipitation for 11 x 13m is 5mm per hour, and for 12 x 14m is 4.2mm
per hour.
Filtration: For sprinkler pressure between 2-4 Bar use 800 micron
filter.
For sprinkler pressure between 4-6 Bar use 500 micron filter.
There are two methods of installing the system:
- Permanent - buried laterals with removable
risers, suitable for alfalfa, pastures, sugar cane and bananas.
- Permanent - surface-laid laterals
with removable laterals and risers, suitable for vegetables, bananas
and other crops.
Overhead System

Overhead
system specifications:
- One sprinkler delivers 730 litres per
hour. The flow controller maintains the discharge within 5% from 1.8 to
6 Bar.
- The minimum recommended pressure at the
sprinkler is 2 Bar.
- The gross precipitation is 4.2mm per hour.
- Filtration: For sprinkler pressures
between 2-4 Bar use 800 micron filtration.
For sprinkler pressures between 4-6 Bar use 500 micron filtration.
- The poles are 12m apart with a span of 70
metres.
- The sprinkler hangs from a 6mm cable
pulled to a tension of 1200kg.
- The anchor poles are 5.4 metres long (100
- 125mm thick). Support poles are 5.4 metres (75 - 100 thick), and one
metre is planted into the ground. The wire is thus 4.4 metres high
above the ground.
