STARCOMP NEO DRIP IRRIGATION PIPES
Emitter pipe with integrated pressure-compensating (PC), self-cleaning and anti-siphon (AS) dripper. Designed by Gestiriego R+D+i, the silicone membrane inside the dripper regulates and maintains a constant flow regardless of working pressure, yielding a discharge exponent (x) close to 0 and a Coefficient of Variation (CV) < 5% (emitter category A).

STARCOMP NEO ADVANTAGES

• Extraordinarily durable: integrated dripper design provides high resistance to UV and temperature changes; manufactured in high-quality polyethylene; silicone membrane resistant to chemicals and fertilisers.
• Flow uniformity: symmetrical geometry and silicone membrane maintain constant discharge across 0.5–3.5 bar, enabling long line lengths and reliable fertigation; emitter classified as category A (CV < 5%).
• Anti-clogging: anti-siphon prevents particle entry during drain-down; self-cleaning membrane vibration during pressure compensation reduces sedimentation; wide precision labyrinths and raised cross pre-filter minimise blockage risk and are compatible with standard filtration.

STARCOMP NEO APPLICATIONS

• Nominal diameter: 16 mm.
• Suitable for long lay lengths and installations on uneven or challenging terrain.
• Designed for open-field crops and greenhouses requiring precise fertigation (e.g. vineyards, olive groves, fruit trees).
• Also applicable to landscaping and gardening (available for insertion in brown and white pipe).
