How Butterfly Sprinklers Irrigate Crops
The body design consists of a rotating plastic spinner in the middle with a butterfly-shaped frame to support it. Nozzles of 5 mm on the plastic rotary spinner release water under pressure force when the system is on.
The design of butterfly sprinklers depends on the application and works upright on open fields. In greenhouses, they are positioned to face downwards.
