Hunter adds new short-throw rotator

 

Hunter Industries recently launched its new MP800SR360, a short radius version of its MP Rotator.

 

The MP800SR360 offers 360-degree full-circle distribution and features rotating streams of water applied at a slower rate to conserve water and prevent runoff. The new rotator reaches radius settings as low as 6 feet and can reach up to 12 feet.

 

The precipitation rate remains matched across all arc and radius settings at approximately 0.8 inches per hour.

 

This new addition to the MP Rotator family boasts all of the features and benefits of the current MP Rotator line, including high distribution uniformity, wind-resistant streams, debris-resistant double-pop design, and construction with the highest quality materials available.
