The Best Pivot Tire for Irrigation Efficiency
Causes of Downtime for Center Pivot Irrigation
Downtime for a center pivot irrigation system costs money. The time you lose can affect crop yield, not to mention labor and expenses to fix whatever the problem may be.
Two highly common problems with center pivot irrigation systems that cause downtime are flat tires and rutting. These problems can easily be avoided when using the right tire for the job, the EWRS-PIVOT airless irrigation tire.
How the EWRS-PIVOT Airless Irrigation Tire Solves These Problems
The EWRS-PIVOT is an airless tire. A common concern we hear is that airless pivot tires work the gearbox harder than a pneumatic pivot tire would, but this is not always true.
Instead of air, the EWRS-PIVOT uses unique core geometry. These core holes are open areas of space in the tire that allow the rubber to flex and absorb impact like a pneumatic tire without the risk of a flat.
A flat pneumatic pivot tire is a headache. They can fill with mud and water which can cause gearbox damage as well damage to the rim costing money every step of the way. The system then must wait until the tire is replaced and everything is fixed before it can start operating again. The EWRS-PIVOT irrigation pivot tires prevent these costs.
Durability
Like our other products, the EWRS-PIVOT is designed to be highly durable. They will last 2-3 times the lifespan of a premium pneumatic tire. The tire is divided into segments that connect to the rim with bolts meaning that when it does come time to replace the tire, it is as simple as replacing the segments on the rim. They are always serviceable right in the fie with just a wrench, no need to bring them to a tire shop, minimizing downtime. This along with the integrated UV protection to combat rubber degradation is the reason the EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tires last so long without issue in the field.
The EWRS-PIVOT Series
The EWRS-PIVOT airless center pivot irrigation tire solves all these issues. It is engineered specifically to mimic a pneumatic irrigation tires compression, a wide true to spec 14.9” x 24” profile to increase traction, and a concave profile that increases floatation while preventing rutting.
The EWRS-PIVOT has a unique core hole geometry that compresses completely when pressure is applied. This allows the tire to compress like a pneumatic mimicking its traction as well as being self-cleaning, so you don’t have to worry about added weight to the system.
The concaved true to spec 14.9” X 24” profile keeps mud underneath the tire, spreads the weight over an increased surface area, and the aggressive tire tread pattern increases overall floatation and traction.
The EWRS-PIVOT’s high-quality rubber has UV protection, and the rims are made with high-strength steel that will last a lifetime. It is also a segmented tire. Each segment is attached to the rim with ¾” nuts. This allows you to service the tire and easily replace a segment when it’s damaged. The rubber on our tires will last 2-3 times the life span of your traditional pneumatic irrigation tires, without the risk of going flat.
The EWRS-PIVOT airless field sprinkler irrigation tire is engineered to solve the problems that farmers face when it comes to field sprinklers while not creating new ones. The unique design is a cost-effective problem-solving solution allowing you to trust your irrigation tires not to fail on you.
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.
