Briggs Irrigation products

Our complete range of hosereels can be adapted to irrigate dirty water, including waste water from beverage and food processing, or thin digestate slurries from anaerobic digesters. The hosereels are fitted with a reliable diesel engine to provide hydraulic power or can be powered directly from the tractor hydraulics. The reels are designed to operate at relatively high speeds to give low application rates (as low as 3-5 mm). This complies with current guidelines for slurry and digestate applications of 25-50 cubic metres/hectare. All our booms can be adapted to work with these liquids. There is a choice of nozzle types depending on the dry matter percentage and viscosity.

Ingeniously simple, Briggs award winning Roto Rainers provide an efficient, low cost method of disposing thin slurry and dirty water. Application rates of 5mm or less can be achieved with all models to fit in with dirty water disposal guidelines. The low trajectory of throw keeps the height of the liquid well under 4m which also fits in with `best practice` guidelines for the application of dirty water or slurry.

All Roto Rainer pumpsets are based around the well proven British built Mono progressive cavity pump built specifically for dirty water and slurry applications. The surface mounted unit is designed to give reliable service with a minimum of maintenance. For example, a mechanical seal is used in place of traditional ‘packed’ seals, avoiding the need for routine seal maintenance. A choice of pumpsets is available for the whole range of Roto Rainers, ensuring the pump can be sized correctly for each site. Model 2 and Model 5 pumps are available in 3-phase or single phase version and can pump from 2-6 m3/hr. Model 10 pumps can be supplied with 5.5 kW motors, capable of pumping 12 m3/hr or 7.5 kW motors which can pump up to 16m3/hr. The pumps can produce up to 10 bar constant pressure if required to cope with long pipelines and high static heads.

Complete pipe systems and hydrants can be supplied with both underground and overground pipe choices. We manufacture fully galvanised in line hydrants compatible with modern PVC or PE pipes and fittings. PVC repair couplers stocked in sizes 110, 160 and 200mm. Bespoke hydrants, road crossings and fittings can be made on request. Steel and aluminium overground pipes can be supplied with Bauer or Wright Rain type fittings. Layflat in lengths up to 200m can be supplied in diameters from 2" up to 8".
