Reinke Manufacturing unveiled the E3 precision series center pivot irrigation systems. E3 offers accuracy and performance, by ensuring consistent and efficient water management and distribution across diverse field conditions.
“We are committed to provide equipment, adapting to evolving operational and environmental demands. Our team has worked tirelessly to bring these groundbreaking technology advancements to market,” said Chris Roth, president of Reinke. “Empowering the most efficient water usage possible, the introduction of the E3 system will ensure that Reinke continues to deliver irrigation systems that growers worldwide trust to improve yield potential while conserving valuable resources and reducing maintenance costs.”
E3 is the first precision series of spans and end booms with uniform coupler spacing (in 30” and 60” intervals) to ensure a uniform water application rate the entire length of the system, exceeding previous water uniformity benchmarks according to the USDA Center Pivot Evaluation and Design (CPED). The E3 precision irrigation system also includes a variety of new features that provide enhanced stability, reliability, precision, and efficiency across all terrains and conditions, listed below.
- Customizable system configurations using precision spans from 80’ to 220’ in 20’ increments and the in-demand 175’ span, as well as precision inverted truss end booms from 10’ to 110’ in 10’ increments, to maintain uniform outlet spacing regardless of span and end boom combinations.
- ReinLock, a new anti-racking truss system designed for strength to deliver tighter tolerance and maintain a consistent span crown that withstands adverse environmental conditions and the most challenging terrains.
- Reinke V-ring seals on every pipe connection to eliminate water flow reduction and power precision watering.
- Single-leg tower design to reduce crop loss as it moves through the field.
- Maintenance-free bearings and durable materials and coatings to prevent corrosion, minimize maintenance, and eliminate the need for grease.
- ESAC, a series of Electronic Swing Arm Corners designed to irrigate corners for full-field water application accuracy.
Russ Reinke, vice president at Reinke, added, “Reinke has been at the forefront of system innovations since my father, Richard, introduced the first Electrogator in 1968. E3 builds upon this same legacy of innovation. We will continue to innovate and define irrigation industry standards to provide the best irrigation systems for growers around the globe.”
E3 will be available for sale in select markets during the growing season 2025.
