Oct 12, 2015Nelson Irrigation introduces new nozzles, sprinklers
Nelson Irrigation has introduced its 3030 Series Pivot Sprinkler line and the 3NV Nozzle. Built with the accuracy of the 3TN Nozzle, this multi-function nozzle allows its users to manage the pivot in new ways.
According to a news release, the 3NV nozzle fits all existing Nelson sprinkler types: Rotator, Spinner, Accelerator, Sprayhead, Orbitor and Part Circle.
Key features of the 3NV Nozzle: side inlet (easy to install and re-nozzle); “off” option (better water management and maintenance); and nozzle flush (easy nozzle cleaning).
In tough agricultural conditions, growers spend considerable time managing their water application devices. Nozzles can get plugged with debris and have to be removed for cleaning. The 3NV Nozzle system allows a grower to push and turn the nozzle between on, off, nozzle flush and line flush positions to remove debris without removing the nozzle.
The 3NV Nozzle can also act as an integral shut-off valve, an economical solution to a ball-drain valve. If growers are overwatering – or if they need to conserve water during certain parts of the season, they can switch sprinkler(s) to the off position.
The 3NV Nozzle can be part of a Dual Nozzle Clip (with Hi-Flo, Lo-Flo differentiation). This is another way to help farmers adapt to differing watering needs (such as crop establishment, chemigation or lowering water tables).
