Rivulis launches D4000 for challenging terrain

October 30, 2024

Rivulis is launching its D4000 PC drip irrigation system at the Irrigation Association Show on Nov. 4, 2024. This thin-wall pressure-compensated drip line is designed to make drip irrigation possible on land previously inaccessible for drip irrigation.

The D4000 PC, equipped with advanced pressure-compensation technology, ensures uniform water distribution across varying landscapes, including hilly terrain with slopes. Unlike traditional non-pc thin-wall drip systems, which are restricted due to the lack of pressure compensation, the D4000 PC paves the way for precision irrigation on longer flat terrains and even sloped terrains.

The D4000 PC is designed specifically for high-value vegetable crops. Key features include:

  • Revolutionary Design: The D4000 PC’s pressure-compensated system delivers consistent flow rates, optimizing water use and ensuring crops receive the precise water and fertilizer needed for optimal growth.
  • Maximized Land Use: Growers can transform previously unusable land into productive fields, enhancing output and profitability while maintaining sustainable farming practices.
  • Efficiency: With the ability to extend lateral runs by up to 25 percent and to reduce the diameter of the tubing, the D4000 PC minimizes material and labour costs, making field management simpler and more economical.
  • Sustainable Solution: Constructed from fully recyclable materials, the D4000 PC aligns with global trends toward environmentally responsible farming practices, ensuring that growers can maintain their commitment to sustainability.

Rivulis says the D4000 PC’s design allows it to overcome the limitations of traditional irrigation systems, providing “significant advantages for growers facing the toughest field challenges. Its innovative pressure-compensation technology enables uniform irrigation even on slopes, ensuring efficient water and fertilizer use and healthier crops.”

In other news from Rivulis, the company recently announced the opening of what it claims is the largest micro-irrigation production facility in North America.

The company notes that the 160,000-square-foot site in Tijuana, Mexico, was designed “with the future in mind to not only meet today’s customer needs, but with production and office space capacity to enable further growth.”

The facility will produce Rivulis’s T-Tape products, “known for their high standard performance in water application, flow rate uniformity, clogging resistance and materials strength.”
