Irrigation booms
Irrigation booms provide a highly precise method for delivering water, nutrients, and treatments across diverse greenhouse zones through automated, rail-mounted systems. Designed for commercial and industrial nursery operations, these systems ensure repeatable moisture levels and uniform crop development by eliminating the variability of manual watering.
System Overview
Modern irrigation booms utilize a suspended double-track system, often constructed from modular aluminum profiles to balance structural rigidity with a low-weight footprint. These systems move precisely along the greenhouse length, guided by high-hardness polyurethane wheels that ensure silent operation and long-term mechanical stability. The propulsion is typically managed by a motor-driven steel rope and pulley system, capable of covering distances up to 270 meters without compromising alignment or speed consistency.
The operational core consists of specialized trolleys that manage both the hose supply and the stainless-steel distribution piping. These units are integrated with programmable control panels, ranging from basic start/stop interfaces to advanced touchscreen systems. This allows for granular management of fertigation, high-pressure treatments, and zoned scheduling, ensuring the irrigation booms function as a central component of a controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) workflow.
Key Benefits for Professional Use
Repeatable Production Quality: Achieve uniform water and nutrient distribution across the entire cultivation area, ensuring consistent crop growth and market-ready quality.
Operational Efficiency: Significantly reduces labor dependency by automating routine watering and fertigation tasks, allowing personnel to focus on higher-value production activities.
System Longevity and Reliability: Modular aluminum construction and high-grade components are designed for continuous operation in humid greenhouse environments with minimal maintenance requirements.
Precision Control: Intuitive programming allows for zone-specific scheduling, enabling different irrigation regimes within the same bay to accommodate diverse plant varieties or growth stages.
Enhanced Cleanliness: Integrated cable and hose management systems prevent entanglement and keep the production area organized, supporting a safer and more efficient workspace.
Typical Applications
Commercial Crop Production: Large-scale cultivation of leafy greens, herbs, and vegetables requiring precise moisture management.
Nursery Propagation: Delicate watering for seedlings and young plants where droplet size and distribution uniformity are critical for survival rates.
Fertigation and Phytosanitary Treatments: Automated application of water-soluble fertilizers and crop protection products at pressures up to 16 bar.
High-Throughput Facility Automation: Integration into fully automated greenhouse layouts where irrigation booms must sync with climate control and transport systems.
