The Difference of a Segmented Airless Tire Over a Pneumatic Pivot Tire
No Flats
No one likes dealing with a flat tire in the field. they are heavy, cause damage to your system, as well as downtime. Continuously going out into the field to change flat irrigation tires can damage your drop affecting yields and adding to overall cost/hr.
Using an airless tire is a much better option as they do not have the possibility of going flat. The problem is that most airless irrigation tires have no flexibility. flexibility in a tire provides traction and most irrigation farmers are not able to sacrifice traction in the field.
We understand the need for a reliable tire with superior traction in the field so we have engineered a solution. The EWRS-PIVOT series irrigation tire. The EWRS-PIVOT series is an airless tire that incorporates core geometry into the rubber. Core geometry refers to the apertures in the rubber that allow the tire to flex similar to a pneumatic without ever going flat. Saving you the headache of flat tires and poor traction.
Serviceability
The EWRS-PIVOT series irrigation tire is a serviceable tire. We manufacture all our tires with rubber segments that bolt on the high-strength steel rims. If a segment ever gets damaged all you have to do is remove the particular segment with a 3/4inch wrench, and replace it with a new one. No special equipment or skills are needed.
The rubber also has UV protection elements built into it and will last 2-3 times longer than a premium pneumatic tire. So even though the tire is serviceable the EWRS-PIVOT is built to last.
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.
