5 Features that define Komet’s center pivot sprinkler (KPT)

00:00 Introduction: The Komet Precision Twister KPT is the leading-edge ‘off-roader’ among mechanized irrigation sprinklers - an ALL-ROUND TALENT that combines a reliable performance in virtually any water, soil and atmospheric conditions with extremely low energy costs. But what does an outstanding sprinkler design really entail? What makes the KPT so versatile and hardwearing - and what is the secret behind its uniform distribution pattern?
01:00 #1: UNIFORM WATER DISTRIBUTION. A uniform distribution pattern not only ensures that all crops can grow evenly, but also reduces the instantaneous application rate - which allows the water to be properly absorbed into the soil. The KPT achieves this thanks to its RESPONSIVE 3-D MOTION SYSTEM, whereby the deflector rotates around the central sprinkler’s axis as well as its own. The result: an exceptionally uniform distribution pattern - both within the wetted area, and throughout the entire irrigation system.
02:01 #2: Maintaining a CONSISTENT DROPLET SIZE is a vital factor of efficient irrigation: droplets that are too small are prone to wind drift and evaporation; droplets that are too large can damage delicate crops, and lead to soil sealing and runoff.
Thanks to its highly engineered groove configuration and friction-based MOTION CONTROL mechanism, the KPT delivers an optimal droplet size throughout the entire nozzle range.
03:02 #3: ENERGY EFFICIENCY is an increasingly important topic in today’s farming world. The energy costs of a mechanized irrigation system are largely linked to the selected OPERATING PRESSURE. With this in mind, the Komet Precision Twister has been designed to deliver an excellent performance at just 10 psi - even dropping down to 6 psi in certain set-ups.
04:10 #4: RESILIENCE AND DURABILITY.
What happens when the rotation system of a pivot sprinkler becomes worn? Answer: The rotation speed increases - leading to increased wind drift and, eventually, operational failure. The real secret to long-term durability, therefore, is a DESIGN THAT MINIMIZES WEAR on a sprinkler’s main components. The KPT’s 3-D MOTION SYSTEM directs the water in a way that places very little stress on the assembly - which is why this field-proven sprinkler will work at peak-level for many growing seasons, and can handle anything from FERROUS WATERS to aggressive liquids like VINASSE.
05:22 #5: ADAPTABILITY
The KPT is an all-round talent that can be used in any type of field application. At the same time, the product range is incredibly streamlined - making it easy to choose the right model for your needs:
- Standard trajectory angle (black deflector) - used for most applications
- Lower trajectory angle (blue deflector) - for windy conditions or higher ground clearances
- Ultra-low trajectory angle (yellow deflector) - for extreme conditions such as high winds, heat or low-flow scenarios
- KPT Peak: for top-of-pipe installation
- KPT PC180: part-circle pattern for dry wheel tracks
