Improve Your Irrigation Efficiency with Airless Pivot Tires
To maximize irrigation efficiency you have to factor in many things like causes of downtime, costs, soil quality, and even your pivot tire traction.
Core Geometry
the two biggest issues farmers have with pivot tires are poor traction and flat tires. We understand that no one has time for a stuck pivot or flat tires in the field. So we designed an airless pivot tire that won't go flat and has superior traction.
Being an airless tire, the EWRS-PIVOT uses unique core geometry, or apertures, that allow the tire to compress. Many airless tires air inflexible and because of this, they lack the traction that farmers need. with our core geometry, the tire is able to flex around obstacles and not slip maximizing ground contact and increasing traction. The core Geometry is also designed to compress completely flat which pushes out material from the core holes creating a self-cleaning system.
Bi-Directional Tread
Another component of traction is of course the tread pattern. Directional all-terrain chevron tread causes rutting and can hold onto mud adding weight to the system. however, a bi-directional tread pattern like the one used on the EWRS-PIVOT doesn't push material out to the sides. They also don't dig as much as a chevron pattern which helps limit wheel ruts.
Concave Profile
Different from most tires, the EWRS-PIVOT irrigation tire has a concave profile. The edges of the tire are taller than the middle. This unique shape maximizes floatation by holding dirt underneath the tire instead of pushing it out as a normal convex profile would.
Along with the concave profile, the EWRS-PIVOT is a full spec tire, staying true to the 14.9” x 24” design. Most pivot tires have a convex profile were where the widest part of the tire is around 14.9” however the contact surface of the tire is smaller. Having such a wide width increases the service area helping with floatation along with the concave profile. Both these combined maximize floatation.
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.
