Flow-regulated dripper UniRam™ AS XRS

pressure-compensatedfor orchards

Product summary
Integral pressure-compensated dripper designed for permanent subsurface irrigation. Features a continuously self-flushing and anti-siphon mechanism and integrated XRS (extra root intrusion and strangulation protection) that protects both the dripper and the pipe. Dynamic root protection prevents root ingress into the labyrinth and reduces external root strangulation via an embedded root inhibitor and external stripe.

Suitable crops

• Almonds
• Hazelnuts
• Table grapes
• Tea

Benefits & features

• Extra root intrusion and strangulation protection (XRS): Patented root inhibitor in the dripper cover prevents root penetration into the labyrinth; external stripe prevents root strangulation of the pipe; protection without migratory chemicals.
• Pressure-compensated: Delivers consistent flow rates over a wide pressure range to ensure uniform water and nutrient distribution along laterals.
• Anti-siphon mechanism: Prevents backflow of contaminants, making the dripper suitable for buried applications.
• Continuously self-flushing: Maintains a clear flow path by flushing debris during operation, improving reliability with poor water quality.
• Physical root barrier: Dripper geometry creates mechanical barriers that limit root entry into the flow path.

Installation environment

• Subsurface installation
• Designed for more than 10 seasons of service with proper maintenance
• Suitable for flat fields and sites with topographic variation
• Engineered to perform in challenging water quality conditions
