The new Valley® X-Tec® centre drive motor delivers an excellent combination of high speed for the fastest possible irrigation cycles and dynamic power for working on very uneven terrain. With Valley FastPass™ technology you can apply light, gentle doses to cool the crop canopy, and achieve precise, efficient foliar application of fertilisers and chemicals. Patented alignment technology and a powerful DC motor keep the centre pivot moving evenly even on uneven terrain.
The Valley X-Tec drive runs at twice the speed of the standard high-speed Valley AC centre drive motor. The advanced DC motor design delivers constant torque across the entire speed range, giving growers unique control and additional opportunities to maximise yield.
Power for uneven terrain
The Valley X-Tec drive can run at twice the speed of standard AC motors. It also delivers full torque at any speed, so pivots move easily over uneven terrain such as stony ground, hills and slopes.
Patented alignment technology ensures even watering at any
speed. This advanced DC drive can turn as slowly as 1 rpm (just 1% of the motor’s maximum speed) and accelerate up to 136 rpm.
The robust Valley X-Tec centre drive design reduces downtime and extends service life.
FastPass irrigation features
Frequent light applications keep the soil moist during germination.
Mist-like application creates a cooling canopy for high-value crops during the heat of the day.
Proper moisture prevents sandstorm damage to young crops and minimises soil erosion.
Enables foliar application of crop protection products, reducing ground or aerial application and eliminating possible cross-contamination.
Higher speeds in low-lying areas prevent overwatering where little moisture is needed.
Enables more efficient split crop management.
