Product Overview

This is not a standard dripper; it is an engineered solution for the two most significant challenges in precision irrigation: variable water pressure and emitter clogging. Our Take Apart PC Drippers are designed for large-scale agricultural projects where reliability and long-term maintenance costs are critical.

This component delivers two core functions. First, its high-precision Pressure Compensating (PC) mechanism ensures a perfectly uniform flow rate (2, 4, or 8 L/h) across an extremely wide operating pressure range of 0.5 to 3.5 bar. Second, its “Take Apart” body is fully field-serviceable, allowing crews to open, clean, and reuse the dripper. This innovation effectively solves clogging failures caused by hard water scale or organic matter, which would render sealed drippers useless.

  • Precision Uniformity: Delivers a constant, specified flow rate, making it essential for irrigating steep slopes, undulating terrain, and very long lateral lines.
  • Field Serviceable & Reusable: The twist-apart body allows for easy on-site cleaning of mineral deposits (scale) and bio-film, drastically reducing long-term replacement costs.
  • Extended System Lifespan: An ideal, cost-effective solution for projects using well water, dam water, or other sources prone to contaminants.
  • Easy Identification: Industry-standard color-coding (Yellow/Black/Blue) prevents installation errors and simplifies field management.

The “Take Apart” Advantage: A Reusable Solution to Clogging

Why Sealed Drippers Fail in Hard Water

In many agricultural regions, water from wells or rivers is “hard”—high in dissolved minerals like calcium and iron. Over time, these minerals precipitate as hard “scale,” permanently blocking the small passages of a sealed dripper. Organic matter (algae, bio-film) causes similar failures. For a project manager, a clogged sealed dripper is permanent waste, requiring costly labor and materials to replace.

How Our Field-Serviceable Dripper Works

Our Take Apart Dripper is designed to eliminate this waste and lower the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

  1. Twist-to-Open: The colored cap twists off the base, requiring no special tools.
  2. Clean: This action fully exposes the internal silicone diaphragm and the turbulent flow path. Maintenance crews can easily and thoroughly remove any physical scale, silt, or bio-film.
  3. Re-assemble: The cap securely locks back onto the base with a positive, leak-proof seal.

This “cleanable dripper” design makes it reusable season after season, offering a sustainable and economical solution for managing poor water quality.

Precision Uniformity for Slopes: Wide Pressure Compensation (0.5-3.5 bar)

Solving Pressure Imbalance in Complex Terrain

On a slope, gravity creates a severe pressure imbalance. Drippers at the bottom of the hill (high pressure) will over-water, while drippers at the top (low pressure) will under-water. The same problem occurs in very long lateral lines. This lack of uniformity leads to inconsistent crop growth and inefficient water/fertilizer use.

Low-Pressure Activation (0.5 bar)

Our PC dripper’s wide compensation range is its key performance feature. It activates at an exceptionally low pressure of 0.5 bar (7.3 PSI). This ensures that even the last dripper on a long line, or the highest dripper on a slope, receives its full, rated flow.

High-Pressure Stability (3.5 bar)

Conversely, the high-precision silicone diaphragm automatically restricts flow as pressure increases. At the bottom of the slope, where pressure can reach 3.5 bar (50 PSI) or more, the emitter still only outputs its rated flow (e.g., 4 L/h). This prevents waterlogging, root rot, and fertilizer runoff, ensuring excellent crop uniformity (CV < 5%).

Durable Engineering & Installation Guide

UV-Resistant Materials for Field Longevity

Built for harsh agricultural environments, these drippers are manufactured from high-grade, virgin engineering plastics (PP/POM). This material is fully UV-stabilized to withstand intense sunlight and high temperatures without degradation. It is also chemically resistant to all common agricultural fertilizers, acids, and treatments.

How to Install (1/4″ Barb Compatibility)

The universal 1/4″ barb inlet ensures high compatibility with new and existing systems.

  1. For PE Mainline: Use a standard 3mm or 4mm punch tool to create a clean hole in the PE mainline (e.g., 16mm, 20mm, 25mm).
  2. Insert: Firmly press the 1/4″ barb of the dripper into the hole for a secure, leak-free fit.
  3. For Micro-tubing: The barb also connects directly to 1/4″ (4/7mm) micro-tubing, allowing you to place the dripper precisely at the plant’s root zone with a stake.

Recommended Applications

These drippers are engineered for demanding projects where standard, non-PC, or sealed drippers fail.

  • Vineyards and Orchards (especially on slopes): Essential for providing uniform water and nutrients to every vine or tree, regardless of elevation.
  • Uneven or Undulating Terrain: Compensates for natural pressure fluctuations in non-level fields.
  • Agricultural Projects with Hard Water: The “Take Apart” feature is critical for managing mineral scaling and preventing system failure.
  • Long Lateral Irrigation Lines: Guarantees the last plant in a row receives the same water as the first.
  • Greenhouses and Nurseries: Delivers high-precision, reliable watering for high-value crops.

Procurement & Technical FAQ

Q: What is the main advantage of a Take Apart PC dripper over a standard sealed PC dripper?

A: Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and maintenance. When a sealed dripper clogs from mineral scale, it is permanent waste and must be replaced. Our Take Apart dripper can be opened, cleaned in the field, and reused, saving significant costs in labor and materials, especially in hard water areas.

Q: Are these drippers reusable after cleaning?

A: Yes. They are specifically designed to be dismantled, cleaned, and reassembled multiple times without leaking or compromising the pressure-compensating mechanism.

Q: How do I open and clean the dripper?

A: Simply grip the black base and firmly twist the colored cap (Yellow, Black, or Blue) counter-clockwise to unlock and separate the two halves. Rinse the internal parts, particularly the silicone diaphragm, and reassemble.

Q: What pressure range (bar/kPa) do these drippers compensate for?

A: They provide a stable, rated flow (2, 4, or 8 L/h) across a wide inlet pressure range of 0.5 bar to 3.5 bar (50 to 350 kPa).

Q: What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

A: As a manufacturer, we specialize in bulk orders for distributors, importers, and large-scale projects. The typical MOQ is 10,000 units. Please contact our sales team with your required volume for an official quotation.

Q: Can we request samples for testing?

A: Absolutely. We encourage project managers, irrigation designers, and distributors to request samples of the 2L/h, 4L/h, and 8L/h models to validate performance and the “Take Apart” mechanism.

Q: What is the standard packaging?

A: Our standard export packaging is 1,000 units per durable PE bag, with 10 bags per master carton (10,000 units per carton).

Q: What is the estimated lead time for a bulk order?

A: Lead time is typically 3-4 weeks for a 20ft or 40ft container, subject to production scheduling. Please contact us for a current estimate based on your order.
