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.
