Kifco Water Reels
Kifco B-Series Water-Reels
BELLOWS VS. ELECTRIC DRIVE
Operators prefer the simplicity of the Bellows Drive. Factors that make the Electric Drive the better option for your application include the following:
1- High Travel Speeds. An electric driven model will provide higher travel speeds for light applications (0.3 inches of water or less)
2- Marginal Water Pressure. If the pressure of the water is marginal, choose the electric drive over the bellows. Electric drive models will operate on as little as 26 PSI. The Bellows driven models require a minimum of 50 PSI continuously.
3- Puddle-free Application. With the Bellows drive, there is water discharge through the discharge hose. Some applications, such as watering your horse arena, prefer to not have water exiting the discharge hose, saturating where the hose is placed. For puddle free applications without any discharge of water, the electric drive is the best choice.
When these three factors are not involved, the bellows driven models are the best choice.
ENGINE VS. TURBINE DRIVE SYSTEMSThere are three circumstances that usually dictate the need for engine driven Water-Reels instead of turbine driven Water-Reels.
1- High Travel Speeds. An engine driven model should be used if high travel speeds are needed for light applications (0.3 inches of water or less). Engine driven travelers are capable of speeds two times that of turbine drives.
2- Slurry Application. If the Water-Reel is applying slurry or any substance that contains significant solids, an engine driven model should be used. Usage of a turbine driven model in a slurry application is limited due to the size of particles that can pass through a turbine motor.
3- Marginal Water Pressure. If the pressure of the water is marginal it may be wise to choose an engine driven machine. The turbine driven system will take approximately 6psi to 10 psi to power the turbine depending on the speed of travel. This additional pressure at the sprinkler may be critical.
When these three factors are not involved, the turbine driven models are the best choice.
