Irrigation Booms

The best Irrigation Boom Sprinkler Solutions

Boom irrigation systems are unique—their structures are designed for the greatest possible application width in a light, portable, hose-reel-driven machine. The design for portability with width results in pipe and supporting trusses that are lightweight and do not tolerate the aggressive vibration caused by most sprinkler technologies.

Nelson Irrigation manufactures the only dynamic, rotating sprinklers available with no vibration—exactly suited for boom irrigation applications with high uniformity.

Nelson’s sprinklers 

Built around the foundation of the 3NV Quick-Change Nozzle system, Nelson 3030 Series Pivot Sprinklers provide the best water application solutions.

Vast differences in crops, soils, farming practices and climatic conditions worldwide, coupled with regional differences in the availability of water and energy require an array of sprinkler performance characteristics. No reason to get overwhelmed - there is the perfect solution for you - we’ll help you find it.

Uniformity

Nelson Pressure Regulators deliver accurate pressure control in demanding conditions. The patented, single-strut inlet seat provides greater plug resistance than other designs.

Benefits of pressure regulation include:

• a uniform depth of water application
• controlled sprinkler performance (flow and throw distance).

Increase the reach of the boom with the R55VT or R75.

To maximize a boom’s irrigation width, most machines are equipped with sprinklers on the boom ends that are directed outward. The greater the wetted radius the better, as long as uniformity is preserved. A wider wetted swath reduces the number of runs needed per field, saving labor cost and time.

Nelson’s R55VT Sprinkler boasts the lowest operating pressure available for boom end sprinklers, with excellent uniformity to match. And, like Nelson’s sprinklers on the rest of the boom, the R55VT doesn’t create any vibration on the machine structure.

When maximum radius is needed, look to the R75. It includes an adjustable arc and lower application rate for improved uniformity and infiltration.
