UniRam™ AS XR

The dripperline made for sub-surface drip irrigation, With dynamic root protection and dirt-suction prevention mechanism.

Featuring an embedded copper-oxide additive and an anti-siphon mechanism with extra protection against root intrusion and clogging, UniRam™ AS XR pressure compensated dripperline deliver long-lasting uniform performance in any topography even under the most aggressive root intrusion hazard.

  • Prevents root intrusion and inhibits root growth throughout the life of dripper
  • Anti-Siphon mechanism blocks external contaminants being drawn into the dripper
  • Anti-clogging and self-flushing system reduces risk of clogging.

Why UniRam™ AS XR?

  • Crops are protected against root intrusion better than all other options, this is achieved by utilizing patented root inhibitor within the dripper cover that inhibits root intrusion into the dripper labyrinth.

  • Physical root barrier: Better protection against root intrusion without reliance on chemicals.

  • Long lasting protection due to non migrating protection materials embedded in the dripper cover.

  • Pressure compensated: Precise and equal amounts of water are delivered over a broad pressure range. 100% uniformity of water and nutrient distribution along the laterals.

  • Anti-Siphon mechanism: Prevents contaminants from being drawn into the dripper, which is needed in sub-surface applications and where mulch covers the dripperlines

  •  Continuously self flushing: Continuously flushing debris, throughout operation, not just at the beginning or end of a cycle, ensuring uninterrupted dripper operation.

  • Self-flushing system with wide filtration area improves resistance to clogging thus making UniRam™ AS XR highly resistant when using low quality water, which leads in reduction in filtration requirements, hence increasing filtration efficiency.

  •  TurboNet™ labyrinth assures wide water passages, large deep and wide cross section improves clogging resistance.

  •  The water is drawn into the dripper from the stream centre, preventing the entrance of sediments into the drippers.

Specifications of UniRam™ AS XR

  • Flow rates: 0.70 , 1.00 & 1.60 ℓ/h
  • Pressure-compensating range: 0.5 – 4.0 bar, depending on wall thickness.

  •  Anti-Siphon mechanism.

  • Extra protection against root intrusion 

  •  Largest filter in each dripper. Recommended filtration: according to dripper flow rate. Filtration method is to be selected based on the kind and concentration of the dirt particles existing in the water. Wherever sand exceeds 2 ppm in the water, a Hydrocyclone is to be installed before the main filter. When sand exceeds 20 ppm and when total suspended solids exceed 150 ppm, pre treatment will be applied according to Netafim™ expert team’s instructions.

  • Double TurboNet™ labyrinth with large water passage.

  • To be “welded” into thick-walled dripperlines (1.00, 1.20 mm).  

  •  Injected dripper, very low CV.

  •  Injected silicon diaphragm.

  •  High UV resistance. Resistant to standard nutrients used in agricultural.
