Let's talk about ... irrigation!
In agriculture, water supply is a key factor for a stable harvest. We have understood what supply hoses have to do as a lifeline for different irrigation systems depending on the irrigation task. And we design hoses that are perfectly adapted to this.
FLAT HOSES - DEEP UNDERSTANDING FOR EVERYDAY HEROES!
In the case of fixed-location systems such as circle irrigation or linear irrigation, the pumping station and supply hose are permanently installed on site - only the sprinkler lines can be moved flexibly in the area. In drip irrigation, the supply hose that feeds the irrigation lines also lies stationary on the ground. The most important specifications of irrigation hoses of the above-described systems are:
- Pressure stable
- Withstand UV/ozone radiation, heat, frost
In fully mobile systems such as pivot/traveller systems, the sprinkler lines, pumping station and supply hose are flexible. This means that the supply line is always constantly moving on the site and is strongly stressed mechanically. These properties are top priority here:
- Abrasion-resistant
- Robust
- Tensile
- Stable in diameter
- Flexible due to small bending radius
- Smooth handling
HOW DOES GOLLMER & HUMMEL DO IT?
Gollmer & Hummel hoses are optimally adapted to various climatic requirements through specially developed rubber blends and are specifically finished. They are resistant to oil, petrol and many agricultural chemicals as well as ozone and UV radiation.
While extruding rubber or PU hoses, we centre the woven textile so that it is optimally protected against mechanical loads! We do this to provide rain when it is needed. Without any weather god!
In the case of PU hoses, the GH normalisation follows after manufacturing. The special GH process simulates use and the hose is "trained" in a special way: Its diameter always remains the same until the last use and the hose is easy to handle. We do this in order to ensure that our everyday heroes will always be relaxed on work!
