2022 Irritec® Capillar System™ 10 m c.a. 1,2

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.

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.

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.

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.
