Falik Wheel Move is a Mechanized Set/Move sprinkler irrigation lateral; seated on large wheels; moves by its own power between setting positions irrigates strategic crops and vegetables efficiently; saves water, energy and labor, conserves soil fertility, and enables you to harvest the best yield.
What is a wheel move at a glance/Graphically?
Crops you may irrigate with Wheel Move:
Any crops not sensitive to sprinkler irrigation and not taller than the clearance of the wheel line Lateral tube above ground (in its final growth stage); may be irrigated by this machine (remember Wheel Move is manufactured with different nominal wheel diameters).
Here are few groups of crops which may be irrigated by Wheel Move:
Cereals: Wheat, Barley, Millet, Oat, Sorghum.
Legumes: Beans, Broad bean, Lima bean, Peas, Gram & other alimentary legumes.
Forage: Alfalfa, Stock beet, Clover, Cassia & others.
Vegetables: Spinach, Celery, Carrot, Parsnip, Green pea, Radish, Mint, Basil, Cabbage, Green onion, Onion,
Bell pepper, Cauliflower, Turnip, Potato .
Industrial Crops: Sugar beet, Potatoes, Tobacco, Soya, Saffron, Cotton.
Advantages of Wheel Move:
Wheel Move(s) plus a main line and a pumping station brings about an irrigation system that any farmer around the world would be able to relay on ; to cultivate his crop and harvest the best yield (quantity &quality), as well as to conserve water, soil and energy, reduce labor and maintenance costs. Let us point out to more advantages:
- Feasible investment.
- Simple to install, operate and maintenance.
- Enables you to save water, energy and costs of irrigation application and other cultivation activities as well as maintenance of agricultural machinery.
- Operates on all types of soils with different texture (on silty clay with caution).
- It is ideal to irrigate square or rectangular farms, in farms with irregular shape;
by simple technical solution will irrigate efficiently.
- This machine easily moves mechanically the sprinkler irrigation lateral with one operator during day as well as in midnight (moves 400 meter lateral in 20 minute- one operator may operate up to 14 Wheel moves).
- Enables you to control water application from seeding to harvest.
- Enables you to reach up to 85% of water distribution uniformity.
- Irrigates most of the crops but; mature corn, sugarcane and orchards.
- Enables you to recover the wind effect on irrigation pattern by selecting the right setting time & moving distance.
- You will be able to sale the scrap against reasonable cash money when you decided to retire the machine (each Wheel Move has up to 1000 kg. Aluminum.
Disadvantage:
Roll Line like other sprinkler machines seated on wheels; is sensitive to high winds. Since the ratio of its apparent surface to its weight (empty) is high (ap.sur. of a 372 meter long Wheel move with 7′ wheel is 62 sq. m. & its weight is about. 1100 kg.); to prevent wind damage when it is empty of water between irrigation intervals and late fall and winter should be fixed by wind brakes or stabilizer in 4 – 6 wheels along the lateral.
