3030 SerieS PIVOT SPRINkLERS wITh 3NV NOzzLE
NEW “SLIM” WEIGHT FOR PIVOT DROP TUBESIntroducing a new in-line weight for use with Nelson Pivot Products. Available in both 0.85 lb and 1 lb options – this low profile zinc weight fits directly into flexible drop hose, secured with a clamp, above a Nelson ¾” FNPT Pivot Regulator and 3000 or 3030 Series Sprinkler. Limited release – call factory or contact your Nelson Representative for availability.
USE CLAMP SAVER WHEN INSTALLING ORBITORS ON A PIVOT WITH EXISTING POLY SLIP WEIGHTS This simple device placed over clamps on drop hose beneath poly slip weights protects the clamp from the “action” or natu-ral vibration on Orbitor systems. This is a great solution when an irrigator is retrofitting a pivot that already has slip weights with the Orbitor sprinkler. Only the plastic cover version (6-10 psi / 0.4-0.7 bar) O3000 or O3030 can be used with poly slip weights.
NEW PRESSURE RANGE FOR PIVOT ORBITORTesting concludes that pres-sures as low as 6 psi (0.4 bar) are sufficient for proper water application (not to be used at 6 psi with nozzles smaller than #16). The recommended pressure range is now 6-20 psi (0.4-1.4 bar) for the weighted version and 6-10 psi (0.4-0.7 bar) for the plastic-cover version. This applies to all plate options (blue, black and purple). The throw diam-eter at 6’ (1.8 m) mounting height at 6psi with #36 nozzle is 46’ for the black plate.
Low Pressure Pivot Rotator®
The new “low-pressure” Olive Plate is for use with R3000 or R3030 Pivot Rotators. It can be used with the #12 nozzle through the #50. Operate between 10-15 psi (0.7-1.0 bar) and achieve throw diameters up to 58’ (17.7 m).

NeW UP-tOP SPiNNerNelson has added a new plate to the Spinner product offering that gives irrigators another up-top option for center pivot irrigation. The Lime Plate was engineered for up-top usage and gives the Spinner increased throw with minimal crop interference. Many irrigators prefer the Spinner’s unique droplet characteristics. The pressure range for the Lime Plate is 6-15 psi (0.4-1.0 bar). At 6 psi the minimum nozzle size is a #24 nozzle. At 10 and 15 psi the minimum nozzle size is a #14. Nelson recommends using a 10 psi pressure regulator.
Eliminate hose barb fitting & use in con-junction with existing modular weight if additional is desired.

tHe NelSON aDvaNtage
There is considerable talk about Low Energy/Elevation Solutions for pivots these days. The need to save water and energy is greater than ever. Nelson Irrigation takes this charge seriously and would like to add the NELSON ADVANTAGE to the mix.
Hose drag, bubbler and spray technology qualify as LEPA and LESA so long as the outlet spacings are tight, the device delivers water precisely in a single furrow at low pressure, and the field is planted in a circle to keep the water in the furrows preventing runoff. Nelson’s U3030 can be used for both Part-Circle applications and hose drag applications. The Sprinkler Converter is a great device to get a 3-in-1 sprinkler. Choose between functions: bubble, spray or irrigate with rotating streams depending on water constraints.
While offering the advantages of low pressure operation and minimal water loss due to canopy evaporation and wind drift, LEPA is limited to its areas of application. Limitations include: tight soils, sloping fields, and inner spans. Due to the very low pressure used, it is necessary to manage the system pressure and monitor it closely. Pressure regulators are generally a necessity for good uniformity of LEPA nozzle discharge.
There are other low energy/elevation options beyond LEPA and LESA. Consider rotating sprinklers in the 6-10 psi (0.4-0.7 bar) range. The Rotator® and Accelerator create a wide wetted pattern for the best soil infiltration and optimal droplet energy. If you’re looking for le solutions — look to nelson.
Rotating streams produce a low instantaneous application rate
because the water is spread out over a wide throw diameter in a natural wet / rest
cycle that permits easy infiltration.

R55i PERFORMANCE METRIC UNITS
Nelson Irrigation Corporation introduced the R55 End of Pivot Sprinkler back in 2013 and it’s been full speed ahead ever since! Using the R55 has proven to be an economical way to pick up extra acres and improve the uniformity past the end of the system. The original R55 was to be mounted in the upright position only. The New R55i, with a specially engineered gray plate, has been made for inverted applications. This configuration is found to be easier to plumb - and some say it’s effective in helping manage debris that collects at the end of the system. Please note that radius is typically less for the inverted, gray plate than for the blue plate.
Operate in the pressure range of 15-40 psi (1.0-2.8 bar) and use nozzles #52-#80. Do not use #90 Blue Nozzle.

With it’s famous wind-fighting ability the R2000WF is outperforming other row crop sprinklers. It’s achieving better germination and higher uniformity. Gentle droplets reduce sanding and promote establishment. The R2000WF’s highly engineered stream rotates at an optimal speed and since there is no drive arm creating splash down there is no excess water around the riser. The Mini Drain Check option makes sure there is no drooling on start-up or shutdown - the sprinkler is on at 35 psi and off at 35 psi. This eliminates any marking on the seed beds. Use the Part Circle R2000WF (with road guard) for high uniformity all the way to the edge of the field. Orange color differentiates it from in-field sprinklers.
“The Nelson windfighter has greatly improved my sprinkler irrigation uniformities, under all weather conditions. it also eliminates the damage done by impacts while operating in windy conditions. it truly is a change for the better.”

qUiCK-CONNeCt FITTINGS FOR DETACHABLE RISERS
WHY DETACHABLE RISERS? Solid set irrigation with Rotators is an excellent way to irrigate small and irregular shaped fields. However, the process of moving pipe in and out of the field several times a season is costly and problematic. Inexpensive yet rigid detachable risers can be quickly and easily moved out of the way of farming operations, then easily reinstalled when it is time to irrigate. Now with two sizes of Nelson ACME Adapters, growers can choose from a wide range of Rotator® Sprinkler flow ranges for their specific needs. ACME Threads allow users to rethread risers while the system is pressurized, and not cross-thread the risers. The ½” ACME thread is used in 10 Series and 2000 Series Rotator sprinklers. The new ¾” ACME Threaded fittings are based on the ACME Thread used in the R33. With these new ¾” ACME Thread fittings, Detachable Risers can have higher flow rates and be taller than ever before.
a. SHALLOW CULTIVATED CROPS REQUIRE A BURIED DETACHABLE RISER. Crops like wheat are often grown with shallow cultivation (disc or till), where it is best to avoid having to farm around sprinkler risers. The ¾” MNPT x Male ¾” ACME Adapter #11344 is rigidly installed about 9 -12” below the soil surface. It is capped using Fitting #12214-002 during cultivation, harvest and planting, allowing the field to be farmed with large implements. To locate and remove the cap below the soil surface, just pressurize the system. The small hole in the cap creates a water jet which identifies the location of the adapter and erodes a path to the adapter through the soil. With the pressure of the system regulated down to around 5 PSI the cap is removed with a tool, and the detachable riser is installed in its place. Similarly, the tool is used to install the cap after the riser is removed.
b. DETACHABLE RISERS FOR CRANBERRY AND ALFALFA PRODUCTION. For these systems a ½” or ¾” male ACME adapter is rigidly installed just below the soil’s surface. At harvest time the detachable risers are removed to clear the field or bog of obstacles. After harvest the Detachable risers are easily installed by turning on the water, and simply threading the riser onto the ACME base.
c. SLEEVE-PROTECTED DETACHABLE RISERS IN PASTURES & FORAGE CROPS. In these crops the ACME adapter is installed 6-12” below the surface of the soil, and is sleeved in a 1 ½” PVC pipe up to the soil surface. When it is time to remove the risers from the field, they are quickly detached and moved out of the way. To reconnect, the adapters are located in the field by turning on the system. Access to the ACME adapter is protected by the 1 ½ PVC pipe.

AUTOMATIONAutomation is a critical component of an excellent cooling system. It allows for rapid wetting and then drying cycles. Ideal “on” and “off” times are between 8 and 15 minutes. For example a system using 40 gpm/acre that is rapid cycled “half on” and “half off” provides more effective cooling than a system that applies water at 25 gpm/acre continuously.
CHECK VALVESThese are an essential component for systems that are rapid cycled as they reduce the time required for systems to rise to operating pressure. Without check valves it is 3 to 5 minutes but with them it is within 10 to 20 seconds. They prevent flooded areas from system drainage as well.
PRESSURE CONTROLPressure control of the system using Nelson control valves and Nelson pressure regulators and a good hydraulic design are required to obtain consistent HIGH UNIFORMITY and OPTIMAL DROPLET SIZE.

HIGH UNIFORMITY MOST COOLING SYSTEMS ARE MORE EFFECTIVE WHEN THE FRUIT, LEAVES OR BRANCHES OF THE CROP ARE EVENLY WETTED. Evaporation on fruit, leaves or branches provides significantly more cooling than simply cooling the air. Just as climbing out of a pool cools the body as water evaporates off of the skin so does evaporation of water on plant surfaces. Therefore, an evenly wetted crop is more effectively cooled.
SMALLER DROPLETS SMALLER DROPLETS ARE MORE LIKELY TO STICK TO PLANT SURFACES THAN LARGER DROPLETS. However, when droplets are too small, there can be too much evaporation before they reach plant surfaces or they may be highly susceptible to wind drift.
QUICK WETTING Sprinklers with rotation speeds under 40 seconds are preferred for cooling applications because they provide quick wetting of all plant surfaces.

COOLING OBjECTIVES1. PREVENTING INTERNAL DAMAGE to
fruit crops like apples, wine grapes, or blueberries. Radiant heat can warm the inside of an apple like the sun warms the interior of a car by shining on a wind shield. To prevent this type of crop damage evenly wetting the fruit with adequate application rates is essential.
2. ENHANCING FRUIT COLOR can be accomplished by extending the night time cool period. Some producers cool well into the evening an hour or two after day time temperatures have dropped to meet this objective.
3. PROVIDING CHILLING HOURS for grapes, sweet cherries, peaches or blueberries grown in warmer climates. These crops require, depending on the variety, a certain number of hours below 45°F (7°C) during dormancy to produce fruit. Rapid cycling of the cooling system can prevent the use of excess amounts of water in the accomplishment of this objective.
4. IMPROVING FRUIT SET AND qUALITY. Cooling of sweet cherries after harvest during extremely hot time-periods can improve fruit set and prevent doubles.
5. ENHANCING CARBOHYDRATE PRODUCTION. Photosynthesis in most fruit crops shuts down after temperature rises above 85-95°F (30-35°C) depending on the crop. Evenly wetting and cooling the crop leaves is critical to the effectiveness of this objective.
SELECTING A COOLING SPRINKLER & ITS PROPER SPACING
Depending on objectives, cooling system application rates normally are from 25 to 50 gpm/acre (.05 to .11 in/hr). Using the ideal pressures listed and selecting one of the Rotators in the table on the left will lead to a more effective cooling system. To ensure high uniformity select a spacing with 85% or greater overlap percentage. Use the Overlap Pro software to calculate the Overlap percentage.
Targeted to fit in between the 0.35 and 0.50 10FC nozzle sizes, the new 0.43 10FC nozzle is avail-able in the R10 Rotator® with the P2 9° Red plate.
9587-431 for R10 ½ MNPT base 9587-432 for R10 Acme base
Data for Overlap will be available in about 2 months. This nozzle is manufactured to the same specification as the 0.35 and 0.50 nozzles which is as follows: “Within the recommended pressure range of 25-50 PSI (1.7-3.4 bar), the 0.35, 0.43, & 0.50 10FC flow control nozzles are flow regulating within a flow range of no more than 0% greater and 10% less than their nominal flow (0.35, 0.43, or 0.50 GPM / (80, 98, 114 LPH).”
