ORLANDO, Fla. (February, 2005) – Rain Bird Golf Division
introduces the EAGLE™ 1150 rotor, the newest addition
to the industry-leading EAGLE Rotor Series and the industry’s
farthest-throwing gear-drive rotor. With its closed-case
top serviceable design, replaceable parts and easy adjustment-making
capabilities, the EAGLE 1150 provides superintendents with
superior longevity and convenience.
A part-circle model, the closed-case valve-in-hand EAGLE
1150 provides an easy solution for quick coupler system upgrades
and is designed for larger, single-row or double-row irrigation
systems with sizable spacing. Using the largest nozzle, the
rotor can throw 114 feet at 110 psi, regulated.
The EAGLE 1150 offers flexibility with 360-degree reversing
operation. Rotation time can be adjusted for syringe speeds
or maximum radius settings, and the water-lubricated, heavy-duty
and replaceable gear-drive ensures reliable rotation. Arc
adjustment can be made easily from the top of the rotor head,
requiring only a screwdriver for fast modifications.
Uniform water distribution is not sacrificed with the EAGLE
1150’s ability to throw water an unmatched distance.
Dual spreader nozzle technology ensures that the EAGLE 1150
distributes water efficiently and uniformly over the entire
length of the spray pattern – from the sprinkler head
to the farthest-reaching droplets.
“We’ve designed the EAGLE 1150 to be the most
reliable and efficient distance rotor on the market,” said
Marc Negus, Rain Bird’s product manager of rotors. “Superintendents
can rely on its performance from a water distribution stand
point, as well as its ability to perform and withstand the
elements over time.”
Additional features lending to the EAGLE 1150’s efficiency
and cost-effectiveness include:
4.25 inch pop-up height to clear the tallest
grasses
Replaceable motor
Compatible with all existing EAGLE 900/950 case assemblies
Close-case design with self-flushing action prevents internal
from getting stuck in the up position
Color-coded nozzles and top nozzle indicator makes identification
easy
Heavy-duty reinforced polypropylene case type with snap-cover
accessibility
Rain Bird’s EAGLE Rotor Series has more than 10 years
of proven, in-field use. In addition to the 1150, the EAGLE
Series line-up consists of the 1100, 900, 700 and 500 series
rotors that feature radius ranges from 33 to 115 feet.
The partner to the EAGLE 1150 Part Circle rotor is the previously
released EAGLE 1100 Full Circle rotor, which has all of the
same features, reliability, durability, and length of throw
as the EAGLE 1150. The EAGLE 1100 will actually throw up
to 115 feet.
