Description:
The Nelson R5 Rotator® is a highly efficient micro sprinkler that employs a patented drive mechanism. The water stream emitted from the nozzle is directed into an offset channel on the Rotor plate, which creates a reaction force to drive the rotation. The speed of rotation is controlled by a viscous silicone fluid in the Rotor Motor. Thanks to its Rotator® technology, the R5 offers high uniformity and an extended throw distance, making it the most effective micro sprinkler on the market. This makes the R5 Rotator an excellent choice for full coverage irrigation.
Compared to drip or micro sprinkler systems that only cover part of the area, full coverage irrigation has several benefits. These include improved infiltration, reduced crop stress, better management of soil salinity, the ability to establish cover crops, dust suppression and crop cooling, increased overall nutrient availability, and activation of fertilizers and chemicals. With its unique capabilities, the R5 Rotator offers a comprehensive solution for all these irrigation needs.
