Drip tape

Specifications

PATHFINDER is a brand patented (bought from Nelson Irrigation USA) and produced in Spain

Available in different wall thickness,flows and spacing.
5000 (0.10 mm or 100 microns); 6000 (0.15 mm or 150 microns); rolls of 3200 meters and 8000 (0.2 mm or 200 microns); rolls of 2500 meters.

We are producing in Spain for: Europe, America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.
The manufacturing process results in the largest low flow path in the drip industry and is more plug resistant than competitive tape emitters.
Patented clear flow path enables periodic monitoring of Path.
Pathfinder can be installed on the surface, null a wire, or buried.
Pathfinder is manufactured with materials of high quality that provides resistance to agricultural chemicals and abrasions during handling. The manufacturing process results in the largest low flow path in the drip industry and is more plug resistant than competitive tape emitters. The drip tape is used to irrigate crops horticultural and industrial tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, melon, potato, squash, lettuce, eggplant ...

Pathfinder drip tape is well know on market as is produced in Spain with USA technology.
In studies on international magazine, you will see our tape Ura-T Pathfinder.
On Clogging: mayority of the tapes cannot give 80 microns. So, they are very sensitive to the filter system.
Pathfinder has a very good rate as it's results are of 125 microns for standard flows. Our material is the on the top comparing with other production with USA technology. We are at level of Aqua-traxx. We make our tests according to CEMAGREF (France) protocol.

In precision-uniformity of flow our model 16-06-20-250-1000 is with value of K 0,492 the best on labyrinth tape.
