EWRS-PIVOT Solid Irrigation Tire Vs. a 14.9 24 Irrigation Tire
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 all the time.
Solid Pivot Tires
Solid pivot tires are often hard on gearboxes and driving components due to how inflexible they are. Being made without the use of compressed air, many of these tires don't have the ability to compress when rolling. The EWRS-PIVOT uses core geometry to get around this. Our tires are designed with core geometry, or apertures, within the rubber that is made to compress like a pneumatic tire, increasing traction.
How the EWRS-PIVOT is Different
The EWRS-PIVOT tackles the problems of pneumatic pivot tires and other solid pivot tires. By being a solid tire, it will never go flat and uses what we call core holes to allow the tire to compress like a pneumatic giving it more traction and is easier on the driving components than other solid pivot wheels. Since the core holes are designed to compress completely flat, they push the material that gets stuck in them out, making them a self-cleaning tire. You will never have to worry about added weight to the system when using an EWRS-PIVOT.
The EWRS-PIVOT series of solid 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 solid 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.
