Neptune™ PC Non-Drain
Category: Drip tape and drip tube
Application: Hilly, Orchard, Row crops, Vineyards
From multi-season row crops to permanent irrigation systems, Neptune PC Non Drain provides a highly accurate, durable and cost-effective drip irrigation solution. Neptune Non-Drain improves irrigation efficiency for short and frequent irrigation cycles particularly on undulating terrains. The wide cross-section labyrinth creates maximum turbulence in the water to keep debris in suspension and the self-flushing diaphragm prevents debris build-up.
Highlights
- Wide cross-section emitter labyrinth reduces the risk of blockages
- Silicon diaphragm for best performance and longevity
- Low CV for uniform discharge over wide pressure range
- Durable and chemical resistant polyethylene emitter Tested to ISO 9261 Standards
Features
Heavy wall dripline
Extruded in Australia for Australian conditions, Neptune™ heavy wall dripline is manufactured with UV stabilised LDPE tube for multi-season application. The easy-to-identify black tube with light blue stripe is built with high quality materials for added resistance to chemicals used in agriculture.
Non-Drain
Particularly suited to pulse irrigation and in systems installed on sloping terrain. Water is retained within the dripline as pressure drops on system shut down and then allows irrigation to commence immediately as pressure increases when the system starts up again. This reduces the time taken to pressurise the line, resulting in lower water usage and energy costs.
Pressure Compensating
Highly accurate and uniform distribution of water and nutrients over long run lengths or changing topographies.
Self-Flushing
The wide cross-section labyrinth creates maximum turbulence in the water to keep debris in suspension and the self-flushing diaphragm allows them to pass through the emitter harmlessly, reducing the risk of blockages and maintenance costs.
