Spiral steel pipe irrigation systems can be categorized based on their working mode into three main types: mobile, semi-fixed, and fixed. Each type has its own set of characteristics, advantages, and considerations, making them suitable for different agricultural needs and conditions.
Mobile Type
In the mobile system, most components, such as water sources, pipes, and water supply equipment, are designed to be portable. Some pumps are fixed, but others may also be movable. This system typically utilizes spiral steel pipes in combination with film plastic hoses or Velcro-coated plastic hoses. It offers several benefits, including simplicity, cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and adaptability, allowing the system to cross ditches and change directions easily. However, the plastic hoses tend to wear out quickly and have a short lifespan, typically only 1-2 years. Additionally, as crops grow taller, it becomes increasingly difficult to maneuver the hoses between rows, limiting the system's efficiency during the later stages of crop growth.
Semi-Fixed Type
The semi-fixed system combines both fixed and mobile components. Typically, the main or trunk pipe is fixed in place, while the branch pipes are mobile. These branch pipes are often connected by lead-ins that allow hoses to be moved into the field. This system provides benefits such as larger outlet spacing, reduced buried piping, and lower investment costs per unit area. However, it requires frequent movement of the hoses across the ground, which can be labor-intensive and result in less favorable working conditions for the operators.
Fixed Type
In a fixed-type system, all pipelines and water distribution facilities, including low-pressure pipeline networks, are buried underground. Water is directly supplied to the field furrow or border without the need for hose connections. This system typically features shorter field furrows and a higher density of fixed spiral steel pipes. It offers uniform irrigation, ease of management and operation, but it also requires a higher initial investment due to the extensive infrastructure needed for installation.
Conclusion
Each type of spiral steel pipe irrigation system offers unique advantages depending on the specific requirements of the irrigation project. Whether prioritizing flexibility, labor efficiency, water distribution consistency, or cost, the choice between mobile, semi-fixed, and fixed systems will depend on factors such as crop type, field layout, labor availability, and budget considerations. By carefully evaluating these factors, it is possible to select the most suitable system for optimal irrigation performance.
