We list our top 5 irrigation boom manufacturers
Irrigation booms have been one of the most exciting developments in agricultural technology to date. They offer capacity for uniform watering that simply can’t be achieved with traditional hand-watering or overhead irrigation methods. A boom irrigator offers an easy to install solution to crop watering, with a system that uniformly waters crops as it moves over them.
But with so many boom irrigation systems for sale, how do you know which one to buy? Our machinery experts at Amtec have compiled a list of the best boom irrigation system manufacturers out there – read on to find your irrigation boom solution.
Idrofoglia is an Italian manufacturing company. Making their debut in 1979, Idrofoglia has built up a spotless reputation over the decades, and has since become recognised worldwide as the undisputed leader in the manufacturing of irrigation equipment for water and fluid movement. Take a look at our range of Idrofoglia irrigation booms and other irrigation equipment to source the optimal irrigation solution.
Idrofoglia’s irrigation booms are an alternative to the long-range spray sprinkler, allowing for uniform water coverage, as well as controlled droplet size, resulting in less soil erosion and overall healthier soil.
Idrofoglia’s booms are built on a trellis structure, with a folding mechanism for optimised, easy manoeuvrability. Idrofoglia's lightweight, folding boom design sets it apart from other boom irrigators, and the ease of use makes the Idrofoglia offering an ideal fit for the solo farmer, as they can be used and moved with one person alone.
Briggs Irrigation is a world-class manufacturer of irrigation systems, including their agricultural boom. Briggs irrigation booms are efficient and reliable, and offer a choice between nozzle and sprinkler, so your uniform watering needs are bound to be covered.
They’re operational and foldable by one person, and the Briggs irrigation boom’s controlled droplet size works to reduce soil damage, thereby improving soil health. Read this article if you want to find out more about the benefits of healthy soil.
Briggs irrigation booms also reduce soil capping and erosion through their reduced impact, and their low pressure operation reduces pumping and input costs, making it a great choice for farmers interested in regenerative farming practices.
Giampi is a world-renowned farm machinery manufacturer based in Italy, and their irrigation systems offer plenty of versatility. The Giampi folding irrigation boom, for example, boasts one of a kind manoeuvrability through its unique, foldable design.
The Giampi irrigation boom is finished in galvanised steel, making it an exceptionally tough and robust piece of farm equipment. The irrigation boom is also offered in a number of different style options: you can choose from symmetrical 3 or 5 wheel trolleys, with variable track widths and irrigation areas, so the boom can be totally adjusted to your individual needs.
Jones Engineering is a manufacturing company based in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom. The company has been building irrigation systems for a number of years, and boasts a wide array of irrigation booms for sale.
All of Jones Engineering’s boom irrigators are fully galvanised, and are designed in Britain. Their booms are foldable, so are easy to use and transport, and they also have a turntable, meaning they’re able to tackle obstacles and angled headlands with ease.
The foldable nature and easy manoeuvring of the irrigation booms make these an ideal fit for a solo farmer, meaning that labour costs can also be reduced. Like the Briggs irrigation boom, Jones Engineering’s booms offer controlled droplet size, preventing soil damage. They also offer reduced water loss, as well as low operation pressure, meaning less wear is impacted on the pipeline.
Bauer has built up an excellent reputation as a world-leading agri-tech manufacturer. The Germany-based company originated in the 1930s, when Rudolf Bauer built his first high-pressure manure pump, and has continued to manufacture systemic solutions to manure and irrigation management problems to this day.
The company manufactures a wide array of farm machinery, including their irrigation solutions. Bauer offers both the Centrestar 9000 and the Linestar 9000. Both irrigation booms offer protection to crops and soil through even, controlled aspersion of water. The Bauer irrigation systems are also flexible and easy to rotate, making them incredibly easy to use, and they use low-pressure systems to reduce energy consumption.
