Benefits of a No-Flat Airless Pivot Tire for Pivot Irrigation
Pneumatic Tires
Pneumatic tires are the industry standard. The great thing about pneumatics is that they compress under pressure which helps with traction. They are easy on driving components and if they don’t go flat, they work amazingly. The problem with pneumatic tires is they do go flat. A flat tire out if the field can damage your irrigation system and costs money to replace.
Airless Pivot Tires
Airless tires do not use compressed air for flexibility, and therefore, can never go flat in the field. Many airless pivot tires don't flex which can damage gearboxes and affect traction however the EWRS-PIVOT is different.
How the EWRS-PIVOT is Different
The EWRS-PIVOT uses core geometry to flex. Core geometry is apertures within the rubber that allow the tire to flex similar to a pneumatic tire, to provide better traction. The core geometry on the EWRS-PIVOT also compressed completely allowing the tire to push material out of the holes creating a self-cleaning system. Combining the core geometry with the fact that the tire will never go flat and lasts 3-5 times longer than a premium pneumatic makes it the ultimate irrigation tire.
EWRS-PIVOT SERIES
The EWRS-PIVOT series of airless pivot tires from Evolution Wheel offers the most advanced airless technology to the irrigation market. This solution delivers serviceability, traction, and floatation into one impressive offering.
Our tread design and tire profile offer greater traction through mud and obstacles. The unique concave contact face helps eliminate rutting by keeping dirt under the tire, where it belongs. The face of the tire is pointed inwards. Compared to typical pneumatic irrigation tires which convex shape push mud out from under the tire, causing ruts.
Our proprietary segmented design bolts onto our high strength wheel, allowing you the ability to service the tire quickly, eliminating the need to change a tire in the field.
Unlike other airless pivot tires, the EWRS-PIVOT compresses flat pushing material out, it's a self-cleaning system. The compressed cores elongate the footprint of the tire allowing it to wrap over obstacles increasing traction and reducing ground pressure.
