Bauer Linestar Linear Pivot Irrigation Systems

The optimal solution for rectangular areas

The BAUER Linestar

The LINESTAR system 9000 from BAUER is the best irrigation solution for large rectangular fields. In contrast to the pivot, which moves in a circle, linear systems have a central unit that moves linearly across the field together with the tower units. Across the field and back again. A special linear control always keeps the machine on the right track. Perfect alignment and automatic correction of deviations between the towers are possible even on challenging terrain. The water is supplied via hydrants and a supply hose or from a ditch feed. A generator system in the central unit ensures a mobile supply of power. The LINESTAR performs best in long rectangular fields, where it can achieve almost 100% space utilization. It stands out with lower operating costs per hectare compared with other forms of irrigation.

	The highest level of security over many years Span - Trussing Five different pipe diameters provide a wide application range (50-600m³/h) Optimum adjustment guarantees lowest operating costs Only one pipe length (5.85m) for easy assembly and transportation Truss rods, diam. 20mm, with high tensile strength and large safety reserves Even arc shape of the trussing ensures high degree of stability The 90° arrangement of the bracing angle ensures a uniform load distribution in the most difficult terrain Crossed drive tower braces for high stability on uneven terrain
System 9000 brings more stability Drive tower Broad based construction Optimal power input Large-dimension drive tower bracing angle 100x75mm The wide wheel base of 4.3m (standard) and 5.2m guarantees a high level of stability, even on rough terrain and in windy areas 2 construction heights of 4.2 m (standard) and 5.0m for optimal adaptation to different crops Towable - high level of flexibility and adaptation to crop rotation
	Precise and reliable Tower coupling The sturdy drive tower coupling, free from play, with ball and socket perfectly compensates for extreme slopes. Mounted on the outside of the pipe, it does not restrict the cross-section of the mainline pipe, thereby ensuring optimum water flow without pressure loss. The weather, UV and ozone-resistant hose collar facilitates large angles.
Patented by BAUER Alignment control BAUER is the only manufacturer to offer a control lever that is mounted directly above the swivel point of the flexible joint. Any torsion in the pipe has no influence on the control; the entire system is kept stress-free. Optimum adjustment of switching brackets with precision bearings of the control cams ensures precise movement transmission. Precise drive tower control system leads to a long product lifespan.
	highest prcision for more than 12 towers Precision control The precision control for all Linestar and Centerliner systems (regardless of the number of spans) and for Centerstar systems with more than 12 drive towers offers utmost accuracy. The angles between the drive towers are transmitted by means of control cables, counter-balancing any torsion in the steel structure.

Irrigation 4.0

The GPS-supported application SmartRain offers new possibilities in irrigation management. No matter where the user is, he is always informed about the current status of his irrigation system and can also remotely control the machine at any time.

GPS Control Using GPS modules and an RTK base station, the ACTUAL position is constantly compared with the TARGET position of the machine and corrected immediately if necessary. GPS control is available as an option for Linestars and Centerliners with a 4-wheel central unit and SmartTouch control box. Advantages of the GPS control: No obstacle in irrigation area No digging and field maintenance required No maintenance work
	Buried guidance wire Sensors track the induction field of a buried cable and thus indicate the moving direction (available for Centerliner and Linestar). Advantages of the buried guidance wire: No obstacle in irrigation area Permanent indication of deviations from the ideal line Simple programming and implementation Assembly height of up to 3m above buried cable No maintenance work
Cable guidance The steering arm with its pulleys moves along a stretched cable, thereby determining the moving direction of the machine.
	Furrow guidance In order to control a Linestar or Centerliner, a furrow is created along the route in order to determine the moving direction of the system

The most efficient system beneath the sun Pivot and linear systems from BAUER Large fields place high demands on any irrigation system. Differing terrain as well as soil structures, crops and, above all, wind conditions in the field can significantly impact efficiency and profitability. BAUER rises to these challenges with intelligent and especially robust solutions. For instance with GPS-controlled pivot systems that adapt perfectly to the changing conditions. Precise alignment control and high-quality technology ensure perfect functioning. The wide wheelbase also provides greater stability under heavy winds and ensures uniform irrigation even under the most difficult conditions.	Pivot and linear systems from BAUER brochure
A BAUER system keeps its promises Low pressure systems are the key to success Irrigation efficiency due to even distribution Low pressure for cost optimization Consistent performance for different conditions Durability in all weather conditions Homogeneous and gentle precipitation Pivot and linear systems from BAUER The most efficient system under the sun The principles of efficiency and sustainability guide the way in the development of our pivot and linear systems. BAUER low-pressure systems can be operated at a connection pressure of less than 3 bar. This requires less work from the pump, which also improves cost-efficiency. BAUER systems are designed to supply a pressure of 1.1 bar at the end of the system (or 1 bar in the case of pressure reducing valves). Depending on the length and pipe friction losses, a pressure of 1.5 – 4 bar is sufficient at the connection point. Our pivot and linear systems impress with a uniform droplet size and balanced water distribution: The water is regularly distributed over the entire field area and can penetrate deep down to the roots of the plants. Irrigation close to the ground avoids puddles and creates the optimal conditions for uninterrupted growth and a reliable harvest. The pressure required for operation of the system is directly related to the efficiency of the irrigation system. With low-pressure irrigation systems, optimal water quantities can be spread across the field very cost-efficiently. BAUER systems operate with extremely high reliability and are unaffected by external factors such as soil, climate or crops.
	Innovation leadership and economic efficiency The advantages of BAUER More than 90 years of experience in the agricultural irrigation sector means that BAUER has accompanied generations of farmers in their irrigation activities and therefore knows perfectly the requirements they place on an irrigation machine. This is a perfect basis: As only those who know exactly the concerns and demands of the customers can develop the best solutions for optimal water utilization. As a medium-sized company based in Europe, BAUER is big enough to offer perfect irrigation solutions even for large-scale areas. At the same time we are also flexible enough to provide tailor-made solutions for all areas of application.
	Quality that passes through fire Maximum durability for highly corrosive liquids Water qualities vary widely. Nevertheless, expectations of long service life and efficiency are always equally high. In response, BAUER has developed a level of quality that withstands even highly corrosive fluids. Hot-dip galvanization of parts therefore takes place exclusively in ISO-certified workshops according to the most stringent European galvanization standards. For difficult liquids, pivot systems are made of stainless steel or with an interior coating.
	Geo-based planning based on sustainability. Turn-key and customized projects Thanks to decades of experience in the planning and implementation of individual irrigation systems, our specialists can design a wide variety of solutions from standalone systems to large-scale irrigation systems. This always happens according to the strictest European standards of quality and provides our customers with both environmental and economic benefits due to economical and efficient use of water.
