16mm Drip Irrigation Tape

Product Overview

Engineered for precision and reliability, our 16mm Flat Emitter Drip Irrigation Tape provides a robust and efficient water delivery solution for modern agriculture. Designed for farm owners, project contractors, and irrigation system designers, this drip line ensures uniform water and nutrient distribution directly to the root zone, maximizing crop yield while significantly reducing water consumption. Built with premium materials and advanced manufacturing techniques, it is the cornerstone of a high-performance micro-irrigation system.

• Superior Anti-Clogging Performance: Features a modern continuous labyrinth design ensuring uniform water distribution and minimizing maintenance.
• 100% Virgin PE Material: Guarantees higher tensile strength, durability, and resistance to UV radiation and chemicals compared to recycled materials.
• Precision Manufacturing: Utilizes laser drilling for perfectly uniform outlets, ensuring a consistent flow rate from every emitter.
• Fully Customizable for Your Project: As a direct manufacturer, we offer flexible options for wall thickness, emitter spacing, and flow rates to match your specific crop and soil requirements.

Technical Specifications for Bulk & Wholesale Orders

We provide comprehensive specifications to meet the exacting demands of large-scale agricultural projects and wholesale distributors.

Advanced Anti-Clogging Emitter Design

Many irrigation project managers ask how our drip tape maintains consistent flow over time. The answer lies in our three-stage anti-clogging emitter technology.

1. Tooth-Shaped Water Inlet

The emitter features a tooth-shaped inlet that acts as a primary filter, effectively blocking larger sand particles and debris from entering the flow path.

2. Modern Turbulent Flow Labyrinth

Water then travels through a long, wide labyrinth passage engineered to create turbulent flow. This turbulence naturally scrubs the internal walls, preventing the buildup of small particles and mineral deposits that cause clogging in inferior designs.

3. Narrow Slit Outlet

The laser-drilled outlet is a narrow slit, a design that provides an effective barrier against root intrusion and prevents soil from being sucked back into the emitter when the system is depressurized.

Ideal Applications for Commercial Agriculture

Our drip tape is field-proven across a wide range of applications, delivering optimal results in diverse agricultural settings.

• Open-Field Row Crops: Ideal for vegetables (Tomatoes, Peppers, Potatoes), fruits (Strawberries, Melons), and field crops (Corn, Cotton) where precise watering is critical for quality and yield.
• Greenhouse & Horticulture: Provides the control and uniformity required for high-value crops in sophisticated, automated greenhouse operations.
• Orchards & Vineyards: Delivers water and nutrients directly to the root zone of trees and vines, improving plant health and reducing water waste.

Installation Guidelines & Compatibility Requirements

To maximize the performance and lifespan of your irrigation system, please adhere to the following best practices.

Filtration Requirement (Crucial)

To ensure optimal performance and prevent emitter clogging, a primary filtration system of at least 120 mesh (130 microns) is mandatory. Failure to use adequate filtration can void the product warranty.

Pressure Management

Operate the system strictly within the recommended pressure range of 0.8 to 1.0 bar. Use pressure regulators and gauges to ensure stable operating pressure across the entire field.

Layout & Handling

Always lay the tape with the emitter outlets facing upwards. Handle rolls with care to prevent scratches and punctures. When used with mulch film, ensure proper installation to prevent focused sunlight from burning the tape.

Fittings Compatibility

Our 16mm drip tape is compatible with all standard 16mm drip tape fittings, including take-off connectors, couplings, and end plugs, ensuring seamless integration into new or existing systems.

Procurement & Technical FAQs

What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

Our MOQ varies for trial and standard orders. Please contact our sales team with your requirements for a detailed quotation.

Can I get a free sample for testing?

Yes, we provide samples to qualified buyers for quality evaluation. You will only need to cover the courier cost.

What is the expected service life of your drip tape?

Lifespan depends on wall thickness, water quality, and field conditions. Our tapes are designed for single to multi-season use, with heavier wall options (up to 0.40mm) offering extended durability.

Are your products resistant to common agricultural fertilizers and chemicals?

Yes, our drip tape is made from 100% virgin PE, which offers excellent resistance to standard agricultural chemicals and fertilizers used in fertigation.

What are your payment terms for new international clients?

Our standard terms are T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) with a deposit to initiate production and the balance before shipment. Other options like L/C may be available for large orders.
