Product overviewSTARCOMP NEO drip irrigation emitter pipe integrating pressure-compensating (PC), self-cleaning and anti-siphon (AS) drippers. Dripper designed by Gestiriego R+D+i with a silicone membrane that regulates and maintains uniform, constant flow regardless of working pressure.
Performance and classification- Discharge exponent (x): approximately 0.
- Coefficient of Variation (CV): < 5% (Category A).
- Recommended operating pressure: 0.5–3.5 bar.
Advantages- Uniform flow across pressure range due to symmetric geometry and silicone membrane.
- Self-cleaning effect by membrane vibration and anti-siphon system to reduce clogging.
- Materials resistant to UV, chemicals and fertilizers—suitable for fertigation.
Applications- Long lateral runs and installations with uneven topography.
- Open-field and greenhouse crops requiring precise fertigation (vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees).
- Landscaping and garden irrigation.
