Application: irrigation

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document discusses the manufacturing process of extrusion lines for drip irrigation pipes, highlighting the high-speed production capabilities and the flexibility in setting dripper intervals. It emphasizes the importance of efficient irrigation systems due to climate change and population growth, which increase water demand for agriculture.

Extrusion Process: The extrusion of irrigation pipes is a high-speed process, with modern equipment reaching speeds up to 200 m/min. The perforation method is crucial for setting dripper intervals, and battenfeld-cincinnati offers solutions for high productivity.

Equipment and Tooling: The document provides a schematic diagram of a complete line for irrigation pipe production. Key advantages include a patented production process, no minimum intervals between drippers, and easy handling. The equipment offered includes high-performance extruders, vacuum tanks, and robust designs.

Dripper Types: There are two types of drippers: on-line drippers, which are manually inserted into the finished pipe, and in-line drippers, which are inserted into the pipe during production.

Components of the Production Line: The production line includes a sorting/inserting device, vacuum tank, cooling tank, pipe drying station, milling machine/outlet port, haul-off, servo cutter, and winder.

Importance of Irrigation Pipes: Due to climate change and population growth, water consumption for irrigation is expected to rise. Efficient irrigation systems made of plastic pipes are essential for targeted water supply, especially in regions with little rainfall.

Drip Irrigation Systems: These systems consist of plastic pipes with outlets at regular intervals, providing high irrigation efficiency. They prevent water loss through seepage or evaporation and enable yield increases and soil salinization prevention.

Materials and Pressure: Preferred materials for pipes are polyethylene compounds with UV protection. The pipes operate under low pressures, typically between 0.1 and 4 bar.

System Components: A typical drip irrigation system includes pumps, filters, and water treatment facilities. The pipes and tubes are manufactured using battenfeld-cincinnati equipment.

Consulting and Design: battenfeld-cincinnati, in partnership with HydroTech Engineering, offers consulting services for designing complete irrigation systems and individual dripper and pipe designs.

Contact Information: The document provides contact details for battenfeld-cincinnati's locations in Germany, China, Austria, and the USA.

Our offer: 0 High-performance extruders 0 Vacuum tanks for constant vacuum designed specifically for this application * Robust design 9. Manufacturing process for irrigation pipes The extrusion of irrigation pipe is a high-speed process. Modern equipment today reaches production speeds of up to 200 m/min. To set the intervals between drippers flexibly along the whole speed range, the perforation method is one of the decisive factors. For this, battenfeld-cincinnati offers individual solutions for highest productivity. Your advantages: * Patented production process 0 No minimum intervals needed...

Irrigation pipes in use Due to climate change and world population growth, water consumption for the irrigation of arable land will rise by about 14% from 2000 to 2030. Consequently, there will be a rising demand for irrigation systems that enable targeted water supply to plants even in regions with little rainfall. Intelligent, efficient irrigation systems made of plastics will help to meet these challenges. Agricultural irrigation has been practiced for thousands of years, but drip irrigation systems have existed only for the last few decades. These systems basically consist of plastic pipes...

Irrigation with plastic pipes In a drip irrigation system the water is distributed directly to the plants‘ root areas by integrated (in-line) or inserted (on-line) drippers in pipe lines laid above ground or underground. Through targeted moistening of the area around the plant, or rather its root area, no water can seep away into the surrounding soil or evaporate above ground. In drip irrigation, the degree of irrigation efficiency or water utilization efficiency is extremely high with more than 80% . This enables: Yield increases and savings thanks to targeted use of fertilizers Prevention of...
