The multi-talented irrigation system

Centerliner 9000

Each field does have its specific features. If you want to make full use of the potential of your field, you need an individually tailored irrigation system. Determining this is an art that only true irrigation specialists can master. Just like us at BAUER. We have therefore created a special system for large, irregular surfaces: the CENTERLINER 9000. It combines the advantages of a pivot and a linear system in one machine and can even better use the area, especially when it is a spacious, irregularly shaped field. As with the LINESTAR, a central unit drives the CENTERLINER linearly with the trusses over the field. The Centerliner, however can also switch to pivot mode. A special linear control always keeps the machine on the right track. The water is supplied via hydrants and feed hose or ditch feed.

Depending on the field situation and precipitation rates, the CENTERLINER can irrigate the same area as a LINESTAR, but only requires half the number of towers. Which results in lower acquisition costs. In addition, the CENTERLINER can be pulled over to another field.

Why CENTERLINER?

  • Maximum utilization of area in case of large, irregular surfaces
  • Combines CENTERSTAR and LINESTAR in one (circle and linear irrigation)
  • Irrigates the same area as a LINESTAR under certain circumstances, but with half the number of towers
  • Energy-saving low pressure system
  • High irrigation efficiency due to water application close to the ground
  • Gentle irrigation ensuring maximum protection of crops
  • High level of flexibility thanks to rotating and towing option
  • Stable yield also in dry periods
  • Long product lifespan

The highest level of security over many years

Span - Trussing

  • Five different pipe diameters provide a wide application range (50-600m³/h)
  • Optimum adjustment guarantees lowest operating costs
  • Only one pipe length (5.85m) for easy assembly and transportation
  • Truss rods, diam. 20mm, with high tensile strength and large safety reserves
  • Even arc shape of the trussing ensures high degree of stability
  • The 90° arrangement of the bracing angle ensures a uniform load distribution in the most difficult terrain
  • Crossed drive tower braces for high stability on uneven terrain

System 9000 brings more stability

Drive tower

  • Broad based construction
  • Optimal power input
  • Large-dimension drive tower bracing angle 100x75mm
  • The wide wheel base of 4.3m (standard) and 5.2m guarantees a high level of stability, even on rough terrain and in windy areas
  • 2 construction heights of 4.2 m (standard) and 5.0m for optimal adaptation to different crops
  • Towable - high level of flexibility and adaptation to crop rotation

Precise and reliable

Tower coupling

The sturdy drive tower coupling, free from play, with ball and socket perfectly compensates for extreme slopes. Mounted on the outside of the pipe, it does not restrict the cross-section of the mainline pipe, thereby ensuring optimum water flow without pressure loss. The weather, UV and ozone-resistant hose collar facilitates large angles.

Patented by BAUER

Alignment control

BAUER is the only manufacturer to offer a control lever that is mounted directly above the swivel point of the flexible joint. Any torsion in the pipe has no influence on the control; the entire system is kept stress-free. Optimum adjustment of switching brackets with precision bearings of the control cams ensures precise movement transmission. Precise drive tower control system leads to a long product lifespan.

Exaktsteuerung
highest prcision for more than 12 towers

Precision control

The precision control for all Linestar and Centerliner systems (regardless of the number of spans) and for Centerstar systems with more than 12 drive towers offers utmost accuracy. The angles between the drive towers are transmitted by means of control cables, counter-balancing any torsion in the steel structure.

Control units

GPS Control

Using GPS modules and an RTK base station, the ACTUAL position is constantly compared with the TARGET position of the machine and corrected immediately if necessary. GPS control is available as an option for Linestars and Centerliners with a 4-wheel central unit and SmartTouch control box.

Advantages of the GPS control:

  • No obstacle in irrigation area
  • No digging and field maintenance required
  • No maintenance work
