Big Gun Sprinklers
Our Big Gun Sprinklers deliver powerful water distribution for large agricultural fields. Engineered with low-vibration counterbalanced design, these sprinklers minimize misting while maintaining consistent flow patterns. Farmers benefit from improved water coverage efficiency and reduced evaporation losses through our patented nozzle technology.
Wireless Automation
Twig Wireless Automation systems provide precise management of irrigation schedules and water distribution. This technology enables remote monitoring and adjustment of valves, regulators, and sprinkler zones. Growers achieve optimal water usage while reducing labor requirements through automated system controls.
Pressure Regulators
Precision-engineered pressure regulators maintain consistent water flow across varying field conditions. These components prevent pressure fluctuations that could damage irrigation systems or create uneven water distribution. Available in multiple configurations to suit different system requirements.
