Senter 360

Join our pivot of success

Description

At Senter 360 we have a simple policy of doing business with the highest standards of integrity. We therefore pride ourselves in not merely selling a product, but building long term relationships.

We do not only build and sell a commodity, we’re proud of what we do!
Senter 360 offers standard industry guarantees on all our products. Guarantee claims have been paid out after more than 5 years - but it so very seldom happens!
 

Senter 360 is a privately owned company situated in the North West Province of South Africa. We have been in the irrigation industry for more than 20 years, specialising in surveying, system design, installation and commissioning of irrigation systems with centre pivot irrigation always being a major part of our business. We know our clients, we know their unique problems and preferences and we know the shortfalls in centre pivot irrigation.

With a long "wishing list" the Senter 360 centre pivot was born in 1994 out of many years of practical field experience. We now have growing business interests in the whole of South Africa, Africa and other countries.

Because we are not in the business to merely sell a product but, but to build long term relations, we are very particular about our "basic" product.

We have as standard:

• I-Wob sprinkler packages (they are expensive but the best in water distribution, lowest in wind drift and super when it comes to water infiltration.)
• Purpose designed irrigation tyres, drastically reducing deep wheel tracks.
• Special patent designed to constantly keep the last sprinkler clean (An industry first)
• Modular design electronic/electro mechanical main control panels with direct mm application adjustment. (These panels are upgradable at low cost to a part circle irrigation panel or to a complete networking application at the office via plug-in radio or cell phone modules.
• More than 60% span strength above industry standards because of our pipe truss system. Given the weight advantage of pipe trusses, two extra sets of trusses are used per span to achieve the above.

Pivot

The pivot structure with its three internally mounted cross braces per side (four on the high profile models) provides more than enough strength and durability to handle radial, vertical and horizontal loads.

The stainless steel cable conduit seals and low cost, extremely durable riser pipe seal require virtually no maintenance.

Coupling to the first tower is by means of a standard pivot flex (Not an optional extra).

The system is controlled by SA designed and built mechanical and electronic control panels making use of standard 230 Volt control circuit. All electronic panels are backed by a mechanical system and have modula panels for easy upgrading.

Span & Overhang

The spans are probably the strongest on the market in SA. This is achieved without adding extra weight and by making use of up to eleven pipe trusses per 57.6m span.

Truss rods are 20 mm in diameter and per tower consists of four tower truss rods with 20 inter long truss rods and 4 inter short for the 64m span; 20 inter long truss rods for the 57m span; sixteen inter long plus two inter short for the 51m and 12 interlong plus four inter short for the 45m span.

Each of the four overhang pipes has its own set of support cables with three sets of back cables for the various span lengths.

All pipes are 6,4m in length irrespective of the diameter and are thus easily transported and installed.

Drive Unit-Base Beam

The standard 4,5m long heavy duty base beam (5.9m for the high profile models) ensures stability over uneven terrain and during windy conditions. Drive unit legs are made from 100x75x6 angle iron and reinforced with horizontal and diagonal braces.

The ball & socket joint between large diameter spans, prevents operating loads from being transformed from one tower to the next.

All in all the Senter 360 pivot was designed and is built to last.
