Water is a commodity that is very much in the spotlight at the moment– and will remain so for the foreseeable future. Luckily, for all of us in New Zealand, we have plenty of water available to us, however, it is important that we are all able to share this commodity. With the combined team of Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings and Reinke Manufacturing we have the knowledge, products and the ability to ensure that your irrigation needs are well taken care of and to ensure that what water is utilised for irrigation is applied accurately.

With the wide variety of Reinke products available – Centre Pivots, Swing Arm Corner Pivots and Lateral Irrigators, you can be assured there is a system right for you.

Reinke, and the team at Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings, can design, supply and install the desired irrigation system to suit all needs. Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings have large stocks of all components to supply and assemble Reinke irrigation systems from stock in Ashburton. Having the ability to build systems from stock, that is readily available, eliminates the delay of shipping from the USA. Having been the Reinke dealer in New Zealand for over 20 years, Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings have the staff who have the passion and the knowledge to ensure that all Reinke systems supplied will operate as they have been designed. With the advancement in technology, you can be assured that irrigation water will be applied where you want it and when you want it.

With the introduction of “Reincloud Ag-Data Services”, an online software package, designed by Reinke Manufacturing that helps combine field data and irrigation data into one easy to use “dashboard”. This includes soil moisture or weather data and other environmental data. It is safe and secure, the operator can be advised by either txt or email. Everyday access is available on multiple devices – smartphone, tablet, laptop or computer. Reincloud is easy to use and informative.

In 2020 Reinke and CropX, a leading Israeli agricultural analytics and soil sensing company, formed a partnership to enable growers, worldwide, to have the very best irrigation scheduling tools. By integrating the technologies and support of these two industry leaders, New Zealand irrigation farmers will be able to access soil health information, this, in turn will help farmers to improve yields, efficiencies and profitability. Through this partnership, farmers will have access to CropX’s enhanced irrigation data and can incorporate this data through their “ReinCloud” software. By combining CropX and Reincloud, will ensure that the farmer can monitor and control multiple irrigation systems to the highest level.

Some of the options available are soil moisture, air temperature, ground temperature, wind direction, wind speed, rainfall, humidity and water pressure. All this information is easily accessible to the operator.

The post Irrigators to suit all needs appeared first on Ray Mayne.

Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings, Ashburton, have been representing the Reinke range of centre pivot and lateral irrigators in New Zealand for more than 20 years.

In that time, the Reinke name has been established in New Zealand and has been regarded as the leader in irrigation technology with GPS guidance for centre pivots and lateral move irrigators, variable rate irrigation (VRI), and many other unique differences between Reinke and other brands.

High tensile galvanised steel is used exclusively by Reinke. High tensile steel is stronger and lighter than “mild” steel – which reduces wheel track issues in paddocks that are being irrigated.

The “hook and receiver” span joint – used exclusively by Reinke, ensures that irrigators can operate on undulating terrain much better than other brands.

The Reinke VRI system is proving to be the most effective form of VRI available. Each sprinkler can operate much more effectively as the individual solenoids, on the sprinklers, can be operated by air, rather than water, which is much simpler rather than relying on water to shut the solenoid valve – especially so, when wastewater – “greenwater” is put through the irrigators.

Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings, have an extensive supply of Reinke stock at their Ashburton facility.

The stock has increased over the last 20-plus years to allow many “new builds” to be built from stock. With the advent of increased costs and the limited availability of shipping containers for international shipping, the availability of these spare parts has resulted in minimal impact on repairs to irrigators that occurred as a result of the recent windstorm damage.

All damaged systems were repaired quickly by the repair teams and Reinke “new builds” were able to carry on – as normal, resulting in minimal disruption to their busy irrigation build schedule.

Ray Mayne Hose and Fittings have all the experienced personnel required to help farmers ensure they have the correct system for their property – the design staff, the “build crew” and technical support team, are all available, and willing to help, to ensure that irrigation systems are ready to go as soon as “decent” spring and summer weather arrives.

This year, Covid has created several issues with freight. We worked with our suppliers Idrofoglia in Italy, to ensure that we have enough products to suit our clients’ needs. Our team at work, tried to estimate how many hard hose irrigators we should order for our client to have equipment ready for season. It is not easy to get containers from Europe to New Zealand this time with several ports being required to go through from Rotterdam to Singapore and then New Zealand. We placed an order with Idrofoglia for several hard hose guns, and associated products, in February.

Finally, these containers have arrived in Lyttelton at beginning October.

PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY IMPROVES CORNER WATERING AND YIELD

(Deshler, Neb.  January 6th, 2020) – Reinke Manufacturing, a global leader in irrigation systems and technology, introduces the ESAC™, Reinke’s electronic swing arm corner technology to growers in the U.S. and Canada.  Used in tandem with swing arms manufactured by Reinke, ESAC will provide highly efficient and uniform water application allowing growers to increase yields under their Swing Arm Corners.

Dedicated to irrigation innovation, Reinke has searched out improved ways to water under the swing arm to help growers get the most they can from their operations.  With the electronic zone control of Reinke’s Swing Arm Corner (SAC), growers have been able to increase the number of irrigated acres in their fields’.  Combined with ESAC, they now have the technology to control sprinkler water application and virtually eliminate under and over watering on corners.

In field research, Reinke’s newest technology improved water precision application, making it a major improvement for irregular shaped fields and corner applications on rectangular fields.  With electronic zone control based on GPS positioning, ESAC then optimizes the water or chemical applications to individual field specifications by controlling the sprinklers utilizing either 6 or 12 zones.

“We are proud to offer growers the new ESAC technology to improved water uniformity on corners,” said Chris Roth, Reinke President. “Reinke wants to help producers grow more with less and this technology will do just that.”

ESAC is installed on the SAC tower and is available on all swing arm models.
