Team Irrigation specialises in the design, installation and servicing of Zimmatic Lateral Move Irrigators. Our team can design a system to irrigate fields up to 320 acres (130ha) with 98% coverage. We can put more of your field to work, virtually eliminating idle land.
A Zimmatic Lateral Move Irrigator lets you combine maximum irrigation coverage with a uniform watering pattern over your
entire field. This combination helps ensure a better yield out of every acre for a higher return on your investment in production inputs.
Lateral Move Systems can be operated three ways:
- Hose-fed
- Ditch-fed
Hose-Fed
- Supplied with water through a large-diameter hose attached to a pressurised mainline
- Pivot and/or towing options for use on adjacent fields for increased coverage area
- Uses 2-wheel or 4-wheel cart (depending on field size) with four, six and eight inch hose
Ditch-Fed
- Can use existing ditch at field edge or one in the centre
- Ditches can be unlined or lined with concrete or plastic and can accommodate grades up to one percent
- Depending on ditch type, water is supplied through a floating intake or a floating self-cleaning filter screen
- For concrete ditch, a travelling weir is available
