11000 Series Rotors acknowledged as a Green Industry Pros 2024 Editor’s Choice Award Winner

Green Industry Pros, a nationally recognized magazine serving landscape professionals, has named Rain Bird’s 11000 Series Rotors a Green Industry Pros 2024 Editor’s Choice Award winner. The 2024 Green Industry Pros Editor’s Choice Awards represents the landscape industry’s best products gaining interest from end-users and landscape professionals alike. The awarded products, exhibiting innovation and utility, were chosen based on submitted nominations and audience engagement during a 12-month period on GreenIndustryPros.com, and narrowed down by the editorial team and advisory board

With the 11000 Series, fewer rotors are needed to achieve efficient irrigation. Conventional one-inch rotor solutions typically require 35 heads surrounding the perimeter of a sports field, with 15 on the actual field. The 11000 Series' 105-foot (23-meter) radius allows it to cover the same area with just 22 rotors, eight of which are on the field. Because of the rotor's tiny exposed diameter of 2.7 inches (6.9 cm), this reduction minimizes the impact on athletes while lowering installation and maintenance expenses..

The heavy-duty stainless steel retract spring, the water-lubricated, gear-driven pop-up mechanism, and the Seal-A-Matic (SAM) check valve that stops low-head drainage are important components of the 11000 Series Rotor. With an optional opposing nozzle, the rotor may operate in both full-circle non-reversing mode and part-circle reversing mode of 30 to 345 degrees. Top-serviceable parts and snap-ring access for simple adjustments make maintenance easier.
