Circular-motion pivot

Center Pivot Irrigation Systems

Fully galvanized spans turning about one reinforced base, watering thousands of decares automatically at 90–95% water use efficiency — engineered in our own factory in Konya around your field, your soil and your water source.

Working principle

How a center pivot waters a field

One fixed point, one rotation, one even pass. Everything else on the machine exists to keep those three things true.

The pivot point

A reinforced concrete base carries the machine and the water connection. Power and control arrive here, and the collector rings feed a machine that never stops turning.

The span

Fully galvanized steel pipe on a steel truss carries the water outward. Span count and length are matched to the circle you are irrigating.

The drive towers

Each tower carries a gearmotor, a wheel gearbox and a tower box. The alignment switch keeps every tower in station on the one outside it.

The pass

Sprinklers graded span by span apply the same depth across the whole circle. Application is homogeneous, which is where the saving in labour, water and time comes from.

Engineering

Engineering that decides whether it lasts

FlexiDesignConfigured to the field, not the catalogue

Every machine is customised to the terrain and to what the grower actually needs. Control panels, connection systems and irrigation outlets are all arranged for the specific field, so the layout that arrives is the one that suits the ground it stands on.

  • Control panel placement set for the pivot point and the power supply.
  • Outlet spacing charted span by span for the crop and the soil.
  • Span count and length matched to the circle you are irrigating.

Specially designed towerÖzel Tasarımlı Kale Sistemi

The tower chassis is built straighter and better balanced than a conventional pivot frame. That structural balance stops the chassis sagging, which is what keeps the machine stable through a long irrigation and stops it deforming over years of use. It stands higher off the ground than other pivot chassis, so tractors and large machinery pass underneath and field work carries on while the machine runs.

  • No sag — continuous stability through the pass, season after season.
  • Higher clearance — machinery passes under while irrigation continues.
  • Rough ground — steady, efficient running on difficult and uneven terrain.

Galvanized steel protectionGalvaniz Çelik Koruma Sistemi

Structural parts are hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, so cut edges, drilled outlets and weld seams are protected too. The system is designed to hold up across different water conditions, and a corrosion warranty is available with it.

  • After fabrication — the cut edges and welds are covered, not just the flat steel.
  • Any water — rated across the water conditions a well can present.
  • Corrosion warranty available with the protection system.

System components

What the machine is made of

Every part below is manufactured or stocked by AksuPivot, and every one of them has its own page in the spare parts catalogue.

Pivot point and collector rings

The fixed base, the water connection and the slip rings that feed a turning machine.

See the part

Wheel gearbox and gear motor

Cast, oil-filled worm gearbox on the hub, fed by a gearmotor that demounts independently of the transmission.

See the part

Tower box and alignment switch

Galvanized base, UV-stabilised housing, steel camshaft and moisture-proof micro switches.

See the part

Sprinkler package

Komet or Senninger heads with nozzles graded span by span for the soil and the crop.

See the part

Control panel

Digital or standard, both supplied for a new build or as a retrofit to a machine in the field.

See the part

Galvanized span pipe

Drilled to your outlet spacing, galvanized inside and out.

Field suitability

Fields a center pivot suits

No machine suits every parcel. This is where this one does and does not fit — the other two are compared below.

A good fit for

  • Round parcels, or parcels large enough that the dry corners do not matter
  • Sloping ground — the machine works readily on a slope
  • Large areas where cost per decare is the deciding number
  • Row crops and cereals: potato, maize, sunflower, alfalfa, cotton, onion, carrot, tomato

Consider another machine when

  • Small or narrow parcels where the inscribed circle wastes too much land
  • Fields where the corners carry a meaningful share of the area — consider a linear machine
  • Parcels that change shape end to end — consider a universal machine
Compare the three

Center, linear or universal — which one your field asks for

All three are built on the same galvanized spans, the same tower drive and the same control panel. The choice is about the shape of the land, not about the machine you are tied to afterwards.

Common questions

Center Pivot irrigation — questions we are asked

How much land can one center pivot water?

Thousands of decares from a single reinforced base, depending on span count and the water available. The span count and machine length are set from your parcel area when the layout is drawn.

Does a center pivot work on sloping ground?

Yes. The machines work readily on sloping terrain. Slope affects the specification rather than the choice: it sets the tower drive and wheel package, and it is why pressure regulators matter — they hold nozzle pressure constant as the machine climbs.

What happens to the corners of a square field?

A center pivot waters the circle inscribed in the parcel, so the corners stay dry. On a large field that is usually an acceptable trade for the lowest cost per decare. Where the corners matter, a linear machine reaches up to 98% of the same ground.

Can the control panel be fitted to an existing machine?

Yes. Both the digital and the standard panel are supplied for new builds and as retrofits, with the contactors sized for the machine.
