Zimmatic Pivot systems
When it comes to our larger pivot systems we use Lindsay's Zimmatic irrigational systems. Zimmatic have been making irrigation systems for more than 30 years and have a reputation for supplying great quality systems and high performance parts. Hall Irrigation also use Zimmatic products due to the continual advancements in technology bringing to farmers easier access and use.
Pivot Points
The pivot point itself consists of 3/8 inch hot dipped galvanized steel legs and heavy duty cross members that form a sturdy foundation for even the longest systems.
The Zimmatic collector ring is mounted externally, eliminating water flow restriction - unlike the internal design on other irrigation systems. The unit is entirely encased in fibreglass and features dual sliding contacts that ensure uninterrupted power for each tower drive unit. Zimmatic's precision machine-tooled encoder gives the control panel the ability to read the pivot's exact position relative to 360 degree circle. It even "remembers" the pivot's location in the event of a power interruption. The compact pivot point makes system retrofits possible. the concrete pad is 16 percent smaller to reduce installation costs, and it's compatible with other smaller pad systems. Designed and tested with stat of the art engineering analysis and 3D modeling technology, this pivot points holds strong in the field- even in high stress areas.
  
Mobile Systems
Hall Irrigation and Zimmatic offer three mobile irrigation solutions that allow you to spread your investment over multiple fields. All Zimmatic mobile pivots feature reinforced wheel hubs that swivel easily into towing position.
Irrigate more acres without buying more equipment
(a) Two-Wheel Agri-tow
Ideal for frequent moves to fields up to 40 acres (16Ha), This easy to set up system features a two-wheeled pivot rotating around a fixed anchor pad.
(b) Three-Wheel mobile
Easily towed in any direction, the three wheel mobile unit is held securely in place with earthen or concrete pad anchors and can irrigate fields up to 160 acres (64Ha).
(c) Four-Wheel mobile
This system provides the necessary stability for towing over rough terrain and is intended for use in situations where pivot points are arranged in a straight line.
Standard Lateral Systems
if you've got a square or rectangular field, you may want to consider a lateral move irrigation system that could bring up to 98 percent of your crop into full production.
Multiple Options. Maximum Coverage
(a) Ditch-fed
Able to accommodate grades of up to one percent, this method relies on water supplied from a ditch located either in the center of or adjacent to the field.
(b) Hose-fed
(Two Wheel & Four Wheel)
Designed for fields where the grade and/or soil makes ditch-fed systems impractical, this method supplies water to the machine from a pressurized mainline through a large diameter hose.
 
Ditch-Fed Hose-Fed
Cart and Power Options
Two and four wheel cart are available, depending on system requirements. Power can be supplied by an onboard diesel and generator set (plus onboard pump for ditch-fed systems) or by commercial power delivered through a heavy-duty, mining-type cable.
Guidance Systems
Zimmatic lateral move irrigation systems can be guided by furrow, aboveground cable or buried-cable methods.
Pivoting Lateral System
Increase your yields by making better use if your land with a Zimmatic GEOlateral irrigation system. Apply the correct amount of water at the right time consistently - in every part of your field. Furrow irrigation systems fall short in this area, providing too much water in some areas and not enough in others. but this easy-to-use, economical and reliable hose-fed system can replace your wheel line or flood irrigation system for better results year after year.
Versatile Dependable Cart
Pivoting lateral hose-fed with electrical pull cable or engine generator set. Exclusive Zimmatic collector ring designed to eliminate water flow restrictions. Four-wheel versatile common platform allowing for 720-foot (219m) hose (d). Six-wheel high traction platform allowing for 920-foot (280m) hose (e).
Flexibility for you field
Up to seven towers plus overhang equals a total distance of up to 1,341 feet (408m) - For maximum field coverage (f), pivoting lateral systems give you the ability to irrigate multiple crops, Zimmatic standard medium and high clearance tower options to meet specific crop height needs and available pipe in 6 5/8-inch (16.8275 cm) or 8-inch (20.32 cm) diameter.
Leading Control Technology
Specially designed GrowSmart controls with multilingual and metric capabilities.
Pipe Options
Zimmatics standard 6 5/8-inch (16.8 cm) pipe is 15 percent thicker than that of the competition. Other diameters are available to provide maximum efficiency.
Thicker pipe means Longer Life
Galvanized Steel
Offering the lowest cost per foot, galvanized steel pipe is ideal for "mild" corrosive situations.
Aluminum
Zimmatic's high-strenght aluminum piping provides superior corrosion resistance even under the harshest water conditions. In addition, it's ultra smooth interior surface means less friction loss for greater efficiency. For a combination of strength, versatility and efficiency, aluminum piping is the right choice for many irrigators.
Stainless Steel
For serious problem water, high-alloy stainless steel pipe offers a high level of corrosion resistance. This method is ideal for long-term service in industrial and food processing applications - in addition to offering potentially higher resale value.
Poly-Lined Pipeline
Ideal for most corrosive water conditions - Municipal, Industrial and agricultural. This includes a variety of applications: Municipalities, Food Processing, Chemical, Textiles, Mining, Pulp and Paper Industries - just to name a few. This is a top-of-the-line alternative pipeline that offers excellent waste water management solutions. Heavy-duty H.D.P.E Liner (high Density Polyethylene) can handle corrosive elements, Saline and Acidic water.
 
Tower Structure
Expand your pivot options to increase water efficiency and maximize yield. Zimmatic offers durable parts, quality components and a wide range of tower structure heights to customize your pivot to best serve your field.
Height Options For Every Field
(c) Standard Tower Structure
Zimmatic's four-legged tower structure is mated to a heavy-duty drive tube using an exclusive double-sided welded brace. Widespread legs distribute the load over a greater area.
(d) Medium-Clearance Crops
Zimmatic offers the industry's first Medium Clearance Tower, designed for today's high-yielding genetically enhanced corn hybrids. These hybrids stand taller and stronger in the fields, forcing a change in how they are irrigated. Taller height reduces crop damage and truss structure drag, resulting in better growing conditions, less wear on equipment and better track management - an ideal option for hilly and uneven terrain.
(e) High-Clearance Crops
Zimmatic offers several pivot options to be used with various high-clearance crops, including sugar cane and bananas - and tall structures like oil rigs. Choosing a high-clearance pivot or lateral over flood or drip irrigation will result in fewer hassle and better yield.
  
Built To Last
(F) Uni-Knuckle Span Connector
This heavy-duty universal joint provides stress-free flexibility on slopes up to 30 percent. all components are mounted externally to eliminate flow restriction. The unit functions as a support between spans, permitting coupler and boot replacement without a crane.
(G) Split Coupler
An exclusive Zimmatic design innovation, the split coupler encloses an inner boot that ensures a solid, watertight connection.
(H) Tower Controls
Housed in a weather-tight enclosure, these ultra-reliable controls turn the drive system on and off as needed. suppressor circuits that guard against voltage irregularity, combined with rigorous testing, result in Zimmatic being known as some of the straightest running pivots in the industry.
