Products consisting of drippers soldered onto the inner wall of relatively thick wall-thickness-pipes (0.9-1.2mm).

The Tiran and Typhoon drippers, designed with particularly large water passages and wide filtration areas, and combined with the thick-walled pipes in which they are soldered, ensure highly durable equipment for multi-seasonal use in the majority of crops.

Netafim who at the end of the 60’s initially invented the dripper with the turbulent water passage, advanced further when at the end of the 90’s it introduced the Turbonet mechanism into the entire Netafim dripper product line.

The drippers with turbulent water passages, now further improved with the innovative Turbonet mechanism, provide greater turbulence and highly accurate flow rate thus preventing suspended solids from settling at the bottom of the labyrinth and consequently clogging it. This mechanism also enables the use of longer dripperlines over longer plots while maintaining dripper flow rate uniformity.

Thick wall dripperlines are recommended for use by growers who repeatedly layout and retrieve dripperlines every season; for long-term subsurface dripperline installation; for irrigation using low water quality (though initial filtration is applied) and for growers who recognize the added value of drip irrigation in terms of water use efficiency as well as yield quality, quantity and uniformity, regardless of the crop type grown.

Selecting the appropriate dripperline will take into consideration the number of planned crop seasons, the water quality used, plant water requirements, the atmospheric conditions in the irrigated area and the desired length of dripperline.
