The largest irrigation reel in the world - from Casella

In the month of March, the Italian company Casella carried out an installation of biggest irrigation reelon a global scale. The pipe-roller irrigation system with integrated motor pumpis a Casella PLLSMP-4R model with 4 wheels, hose diameter 180 m and length — 350 m and watering diameter — 180 m.

The 238 hp pump is integrated into the spool, which allows only one operator to position the machine in a short timeand to carry out operations more easily and efficiently. Thanks to the diameter and length of the hose, in Italy with this pipe-roller system it will be watered 1000 acres of corn per week.

The reel is suitable for direct water abstraction from an irrigation canal or river, thanks to flexible armwith a maximum radius of 6 m, but can be supplied with water and low pressure underground pipelines.

Casella is a benchmark for quality in the production of tubular and roller irrigation systems, having introduced a number of innovations over the years, developingcustomized solutions for large and small farms.

One of the most famous innovations in the field of irrigation reels is diesel engine at the site of the water turbine,serving to retract the reel. This innovation allows pressure losses in the machine to be reduced by 25-30%. Solutions with integrated motor pumps, on the other hand, enable faster positioning of the reeland optimization of activities related to the irrigation process.
