There are many reasons why more than 95% of the world’s center pivots are electric drive machines. Electricity is a standard power source. Enjoy the benefits of electric drive technology with a conversion solution from your local Valley® dealer:
Electric drive center pivots can use up to 75% less energy than oil hydraulically driven machines.
When you switch to electric from hydraulic drive center pivots, you could save from $6,000-$25,000.*
Many oil hydraulic drive machines require high water pressures of 50 PSI or more just to operate the end gun efficiently without a booster pump.
Savings from lowering your sprinkler operating pressure by 20 - 40 PSI (1.38 - 2.76 bar) (depending on energy type and cost, water flow rate, and other operating conditions).
Savings from lowering your sprinkler operating pressure by 20-40 PSI can range from $600 - $3,500** per year.
