Centre Pivot Systems
Centre pivot irrigation is a mechanised irrigation system that rotates around a central point, applying water through multiple hose droppers with a high level of distribution uniformity.
How It Works
Centre pivot irrigation is a mechanised irrigation system that rotates around a central point, applying water through multiple hose droppers with a high level of distribution uniformity.
Centre pivots are well suited to large, open paddocks, as well as gently undulating or rolling land. They can also be a practical option for smaller or more complex areas, including larger pivot corners, unevenly shaped paddocks, or areas with obstacles such as power lines, trees, or existing infrastructure.

Options and Add-Ons
Configure your centre pivot system with practical add-ons designed to improve performance, protect key components, and adapt the system to your farm’s water source, layout, and operating requirements.
Poly-Lined Pipe
Designed for durability and long-term performance, Irritech’s poly-lined pipe combines the strength of galvanised steel with the corrosion resistance of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) lining.
Available in both 6-5/8” and 8-5/8” configurations, poly-lined pipe is an excellent option for farms using corrosive water sources or those looking to maximise the lifespan of their irrigation investment.
Key benefits:
Ideal for fertigation, chemigation, and corrosive water applications
High-density polyethylene lining helps protect against internal corrosion
Strong stainless steel sprinkler outlets for reliable performance
Water-tight couplings and wide gaskets help prevent leaks
Poly protection throughout the entire span pipe system
Highly resistant to sunlight, moisture, and harsh environmental conditions
Extends the life of the irrigation system
Supports the application of fertilisers and crop treatments through the irrigation network
Reduces maintenance requirements and long-term operating costs
Poly-lined pipe provides farmers with a durable, low-maintenance solution designed to perform reliably in demanding irrigation environments.
Fertigation Systems
Apply nutrients and crop protection products through your irrigation system.
Irritech Fertigation Systems allow fertilisers and crop protection products to be injected directly into the irrigation water supply and applied evenly across your crop through the sprinkler system. This provides greater control over nutrient application while reducing labour and improving efficiency.
Benefits include:
More uniform application across the field
Reduced labour and machinery requirements
Improved nutrient management
Better timing of applications
Lower operating costs
Environmentally responsible application practices
Pivot Filters
Irritech offers a range of filtration options from 700 GPM to 2000 GPM, designed for centre pivot systems, linear irrigation systems, and solid set sprinkler applications.
Each filter can be configured to suit your system requirements, including customised filter mesh options. Standard filters include a stainless steel screen and hot-dip galvanised housing for strength, durability, and long-term performance.
Irritech also offers a self-cleaning aluminium floating suction device, designed to provide flexible water access from sources such as creeks, ponds, reservoirs, ditches, and storage pools.
