Are you concerned about the upcoming frosts? With the Pulsator 205 & Pulsemax 360, your crops can be protected from frosts. Today we will tell you how to obtain a quotation tailored to your requirements and prepare your frost protection system in time.
Frosts can be one of a farmer's worst enemies, threatening to affect entire crops in a matter of hours. But, with the advancement of Agriculture technologies (Agrotech), high-frequency, low-water emission solutions like the Pulsator 205™ & Pulsemax 360 are changing the game. These systems not only protect your crops from frosts but also help you breathe easy during the upcoming cold season.
The Pulsator 205+ Pulsemax 360: A Water Shield Against the Cold
With the Pulsator 205 & Pulsemax 360, you benefit from high-frequency, low-flow water technology designed to protect all types of crops through the emission of water droplet pulses: cherries, avocados, citrus, blueberries, kiwis, olives, vineyards, and more.
The Pulsator 205, originally manufactured in California, in combination with PulseMax 360, uniquely designed by Tierraverde, emulates a light rain in 360 degrees, pulsing a uniform spray with excellent lamination, reaching radii of 3.5 meters at precipitation rates close to 1 mm/h, a third of the flow rates of other traditional sprinklers.
Thanks to this rain that wets the crops, a first Cover Effect is generated in the sprayed area, keeping it a few degrees higher compared to the unsprayed external environment. A secondary phenomenon called the Igloo Effect comes into action when temperatures drop below 0°C, where the water creates a thin layer of ice over the vegetation (leaves, branches, and trunks), transferring heat due to the physical properties of H2O, which releases 80 calories per gram of water when transitioning from liquid to solid state. Thus, it is nature itself that allows sprouts and fruits to stay safe from sub-zero temperatures.
Steps to Quote and Prepare Your Frost Protection System
Although the deployment and installation of a system of these characteristics is quite agile, it is important to have precise technical information for the adequate development of the project:
Specific Location: Provide the exact coordinates of your field. The geo-referenced location will allow the system to adjust to local weather conditions.
Technical Requirements: Share the details of your existing infrastructure, such as water sources, energy sources, slopes, orchard age and height, type and architecture of the plantation.
Complementary Equipment: Detail the additional infrastructure necessary to integrate into the frost control system: pumps, filters, sub-headers, water sources, energy sources, etc.
Protection Area: Share the areas of your orchard that require protection, helping to prioritize the zones most exposed to frosts.
Technical and Economic Proposal
After receiving this information, our team of professionals, designers, and engineers will focus on elaborating a proposal that best fits the protection needs, always considering the economic factor of cost/hectare as well as the lowest water consumption possible.
Technical and Economic Proposal: You will receive a personalized proposal that considers both the technical explanation and the economic proposal to meet your requirements.
Confirmation of the Proposal: Verify that the proposed solution meets your needs and expectations.
Order and Scheduling: Once you confirm, your order will be included in our national logistics chain, ensuring timely installation.
The Disruption of Low Precipitation: 1 mm/hour vs 3 mm/hour
The Pulsator 205 & Pulsemax 360 is a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution, but requires some scheduling. It is designed to connect to existing drip irrigation systems, mounted above the canopy to distribute rain-sized droplets, using up to three times less water than traditional sprinklers. The disruption we generate has allowed many farmers to access this type of solution, due to its low investment per hectare and low operating cost, undoubtedly making it the best alternative on the market today.
A Community of Producers and Distributors Our technology is not only the support for innovative hydraulic engineering projects but has also created an active community of producers and distributors across the country who are steadily adapting to the climate, sharing their success stories. These testimonials underscore how water with precipitation rates of about 1 mm/h has worked successfully, providing peace of mind to anticipate the stages of the harvest cycle with significantly lower risks and losses.
Preparation is Key Remember, the best time to prepare for frosts is not when the temperature starts to fall below zero, but now. By quoting and setting up your Pulsator 205™ & Pulsemax 360 frost protection system in time, you ensure that, when the cold arrives, your crop is protected and can flourish robustly and vigorously.
