Komet Irrigation, a global pioneer in sprinkler irrigation technology since 1952, has introduced the Komet Precision Wave (KPW) – a groundbreaking pivot sprinkler designed to deliver exceptional water distribution uniformity and boost irrigation efficiency.
The innovation will headline Agritechnica 2025, where Komet will also debut the Komet Experience Hub, a state-of-the-art research and testing facility advancing the science of irrigation performance.
For decades, uneven water delivery at the outer edges of pivot systems has remained one of agriculture’s biggest challenges. The KPW addresses this long-standing issue through an innovative oscillating deflector, which generates a highly consistent droplet pattern across the entire pivot radius. This technology ensures stronger plant hydration while minimising water loss from runoff or evaporation—factors that are increasingly vital as farmers contend with climate variability and water scarcity.
Built at Komet’s manufacturing headquarters in Lienz, Austria, the KPW adheres to stringent European engineering standards. It offers a flexible performance range with a 9–15 metre throw radius and multiple flow options, making it suitable for a variety of pivot configurations, soil types, and crops. The KPW is available in both head-up and head-down models, easily recognisable by their white and yellow deflectors, allowing farmers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to select the best configuration for their specific field conditions.
“Uniform irrigation is one of the biggest drivers of yield and efficiency,” said Andree Groos, CEO of Komet Irrigation. “The KPW gives farmers peace of mind that every plant—from the centre to the outer edge—gets the water it needs, consistently and efficiently. It’s the kind of innovation that helps our customers grow more with less.”
In addition to unveiling the KPW, Komet will introduce visitors to the Komet Experience Hub, a 1,000-square-metre research and development centre created to transform how irrigation products are tested and optimised. Featuring IoT-enabled monitoring, automated analytics, and controlled simulations of wind, evaporation, and droplet trajectory, the facility provides accurate, reproducible data to improve water management decisions for farmers, agronomists, and manufacturers.
“For the first time, farmers can see exactly how sprinklers and regulators perform under controlled yet realistic conditions,” added Groos. “The Experience Hub represents our commitment to transparency, precision, and progress in irrigation design.”
At Agritechnica 2025, visitors to Hall 9, Booth A09 will be among the first to experience this innovation in action. Komet will also host a special competition with exclusive prizes, including a guided tour of its Austrian manufacturing facility—home to over 70 years of irrigation engineering excellence shaping the future of efficient agriculture.
