Since
1967, Netafim's R&D division has accumulated a depth of
agronomic knowledge that enables it to respond to the specific
irrigation needs of a field crop with exactly the right solution
and the technological knowledge to develop drippers and sprayers
for the most effective and accurate irrigation.
During
the past 30 years of developing irrigation systems and Products,
Netafim has launched 10 generations of drippers and Drip Irrigation
Systems. From the very first generation of laminar flow dripper
lines, to the latest generations of integrated, regulated
drippers. Progress has been enormous, with each generation
of drippers meeting the changing agricultural needs in the
field.
Below
are mentioned some of the different generations of drippers
developed by Netafim, together with their main uses in crop
field irrigation, surface drip irrigation, Irrigation and
Subsurface drip Irrigation systems.
- Turbulent
flow dripper lines: irrigation with a very strong water
flow that washes out every particle of dirt from the pipeline.
- Regulated
drippers: a unique patent enables drip irrigation in
severely sloping conditions; also comprises an improved
self-cleaning mechanism.
- Integrated
drippers: an extension of drippers soldered to the pipe's
interior wall; used in fields in which the pipes are rolled
up at the end of the season and re-laid at the start of
the next irrigation season.
- Integrated
pipes: with extensions of regulated Ram drippers that
are the world leaders in irrigation, and unregulated drippers
soldered to pipes of varying wall thicknesses, like Tiran,
Typhoon and Streamline.
During
the last year, Netafim has launched the newest generation
of regulated, integrated drippers, developed especially for
the following sectors:
- Concealed
drip irrigation
- Plantations
with slopes
- Greenhouses
(pulse irrigation)
- Anti-root
penetration
Today,
Netafim's R&D division continues to develop the drippers
and dripper lines that will serve agricultural irrigation
and will meet its challenges in the years to come head-on!
