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:
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.”
