There are a number of different methods for agricultural irrigation, pipe irrigation is one of them. It is considered a traditional method with quite logic advantages. Pipe irrigation enables extremely precise irrigation with relatively even water distribution over the entire surface. The water resources can be used optimally, wind drift and diffusion into the atmosphere are low. This method is perfect for vegetable crops such as new potatoes, carrots or onions.
At Bauer you will find all the components you need for your individual field irrigation method!
Classic irrigation system with sprinkler lines to lay out is perfectly suited for small areas and farms where enough workforce is available to operate the system. The piping system consists of the following main components:
The average expenditure of work for this irrigation system is approx. 2-3 hours per hectare and irrigation amount.
This system is already a step towards saving time during the irrigation process. The irrigation system consists of the following components.
With hose length of 40m it is possible to irrigate a trip width of 90 m, this means that only each 90 m the sprinkler line consisting of HK quick coupling pipes need to be laid out. This results in 30% less work compared to conventional irrigation systems. Expenditure of work is approx. 1,5 hours per hectar and irrigation amount.
By laying out the laterals at intervals of max. 90m no further pipes need to be installed during the irrigation process. Only the sprinkler carts with the hosed need to be moved.
This system is mainly used in the North African region. It is applicable for different field sizes and forms. Furthermore, only small sprinklers are used in order to apply only low precipitation rates. This is important for newly planted sensitive crops.
This irrigation system represents a further extension to the conventional irrigation machine. The pipe grid consists of BAUER HK-pipes covering the entire field, which are laid out the beginning of the irrigation season.
During the irrigation process the pipes remain in place and only the sprinklers on the pipes need to be moved 18m further. This results in fewer labour requirements. The work required is approx. 0,8-1 hour per hectar or irrigation amount.
Depending on the length of the pipes one or two sprinklers are in operation, this system enables the use of small pipes (HK 50 pipes) making the pipe grid a very cost-saving solution. With this system also small and medium sprinklers can be used so only low irrigation intensity is reached. Furthermore, an optimal use on all field forms and sizes is guaranteed.optimaler Einsatz The pipe grid is an intermediate stage to the stationary irrigation system.
When irrigating with a solid set system the laterals with sprinklers are laid out to cover the entire area to be irrigated. Operation is confined to opening and closing the connection points. Time expenditure is only 0,5 hours per hectar or irrigation amount.
The pipelines are laid out before the irrigation season starts and has to be removed before the harvest. This system can also be ugraded to a fully automatic system, i.e the irrigaiton and the sprinkler lines can be controlled via automatic control units and control valves. As a consequence it is possible that the system enables "rain at the push of a button".
