DRIPPERS ON LINE CAPILLAR SYSTEM CAPILLAR SYSTEM™ CAPILLAR IRRIGATION SYSTEMS The CAPILLAR SYSTEM is a localised irrigation system by Irritec for the nursery, flower-growing and greenhouse sector. The main feature of the system is the capillary, a micropipe with internal diameter from 0.6 to 1.5 mm, manufactured by a process of coextrusion. Quality control using laser technology to monitor dimensions, results in precision to one hundredth of a millimetre. What is it? The system consists of a polyethylene pipe and capillaries: • The pipe, diameter 16, 20 or 25 mm, is pierced at the desired intervals; • The capillary pipe, with diameter 3.2 mm, is inserted in the pipe and a fine stake is inserted into the end of the capillary, and placed in the soil near the plant. Insertion spacing How does it work? The laminar flow generated by the extremely fine diameter of the capillary gives a constant flow rate depending on the length of the capillary and the working pressure used. What are the advantages? The CAPILLAR SYSTEM is a reliable and economic irrigation system: • installation is carried out by laying the pipe, supplied with the capillar already inserted, on the ground or bench and then, using the stake, the capillar is fastened to the ground near the stem of the plant; • for maintenance, if the capillar is damaged, simply remove the capillar from the pipe and insert a new capillar; • the flexibility of the system allows variation of the emission points by modifying the length of the capillar. The products Irritec provides: • complete assembled irrigation system, composed of the pipe with capillar and stake (provided separately); • the pipe can be perforated manually with the specific puncher or be requested already perforated at the desired spacing and for the diameter of the capillar to insert; • stakes in three versions, to apply to the end of the capillar according to the type of use. S Single insertion capillar The distance between the two capillars (S) is a minimum of 7 cm and a maximum of 999 cm D Double insertion capillar The distance between the two capillars for each pair (S) is equal to 2.5 cm, while the distance between the pairs is a minimum of 9 cm and a maximum of 999 cm Field of application D Crops protected overground Group insertion capillar The distance between each capillar (S) is a minimum of 7 cm and a maximum of 999 cm, while the distance between the groups (D) is a minimum of 7 cm and a maximum of 999 cm
