Unique points, however as standard on every AP irrigation machine Hydraulic strutting By a simple manual operation the support legs can be hydraulically strutted so the irrigation machine cannot be pulled or pushed over during an irrigation cycle. After each cycle the support legs will automatically be put in transport position. Automatic pick-up gun cart At the end of each irrigation cycle the gun cart will be picked-up automatically whereby the irrigation machine is immediately movable. Twin-track angle and width adjustable gun cart This unique gun cart, with a track following hose, ensures...

Turntable The models MIDI and MIXI are equipped with a maintenance-free ball bearing turntable that enables a smooth adjustment of the spray direction (per 7 degrees). The models MAXI and GIGANT are provided with a double-row ball bearing turntable (picture) and are standardly hydraulically and infinitely adjustable. Road lighting All AP irrigation machines are, in accordance with the applicable European requirements, standardly equipped with road lighting, wideness safety signs and length and width reflectors. Caprari water pump For the water and oil supply the irrigation machine is equipped...

Options Although the AP irrigation machine as standard is equipped with very comprehensive features there a various options available for an even more convenient and efficient irrigation. Second sprinkler This small sprinkler is mounted on the guide tube, in the middle behind the drum of the irrigation machine. Control can be done by a ball valve or by the plc. Comes as standard with a River Sector sprinkler and optionally available with a Nelson SR 75 for just that bit more capacity and spray width. Beacon The build-on beacon is not only useful during road transport but it also signals when...

Motor pump unit in low-noise housing The motor pump consists of a combustion engine which drives a centrifugal pump. The moving parts are protected by fitting grills. All is easily accessible for service works and this unit is obviously provided with excellent sound insulation. There are 3 motor types and 3 pump types available: - FPT 74, 86 or 104 KW water cooled diesel motor - Caprari MEC-MG 80 4/3, a MEC-MG 80 4/4 or a MEC-MG 100-2 pump The models MAXI and GIGANT, with hose diameter 140 mm, will be equipped with a 6” rubber suction hose. PLC control Completely controlled and monitored irrigation!...

Options SMS modem In case of a fault or when the machine is ready this modem sends a SMS to the mobile phone of the user or to a modem of a supply pump. It is possible to store multiple phone numbers. 1-, 2- or 3-fold hydraulic valve The hydraulic lifting arm of the suction hose and the optional hydraulic turntable and draw bar support leg are as standard to control through hoses and the tractor’s hydraulics. Depending on the option a 1-, 2-, or 3-fold hydraulic valve is available; with this valve and the own hydraulic system of the irrigation machine the machine can do his work independently...

Irrigation from a distance Separate feed pump Irrigating with high efficiency from a water source or from a ditch/canal situated further away? This can be achieved by the use of an extra, separate PTO pump or a motor pump unit. This supplies the water with 1 à 2 bar; the pump of the irrigation machine now does not have to suck the water, which requires a lot of energy, and just needs to increase the pressure to 10 à 11 bar. The extra fuel costs for using an extra, separate PTO pump can be practically set of against the savings on fuel costs of the pump of the irrigation machine because it receives...
