Rotating Impact Sprinkler System

A rotational impact sprinkler system uses on water pressure for the rotation of a sprinkler head in a circular pattern. As the water flows through a nozzle, it strikes an impact arm. This will cause the sprinkler head to rotate at its speed. Consequently, water spreads over a radius, thus ensuring equal irrigation of crops. The operating mechanism involved is relatively simple and efficient. Pressurized water enters the sprinkler body and flows out through a nozzle. Simultaneously, an impact arm strikes the water stream persistently. Such motion drives the sprinkler head round. Additionally, water distribution at any portion of the irrigated land remains uniform. Moreover, nozzles are always adjustable to alter spray distance and water flow rates. Hence, the user may modify it according to the type of crops and size of the field.

Key Components of a Rotating Impact Sprinkler System

Several components work together to make the operation smooth:

  • Sprinkler head-water distribution
  • Impact arm for rotational movement
  • Nozzle for flow control and spray distance
  • A spring mechanism to make the rotation regular.
  • Durable body material for long service life
