Drip Irrigation for Heap Leaching

LEACH LINE™ A DRIPLINE

Leach Line™ A is the industry leading non-pressure compensated dripper for heap leaching in mines. The dripper is welded in the wall of the seamless pipe assuring strength and durability. Available diameters: 16 and 20 OD (outside diameter).

Why Leach Line™ A?

• Industry’s widest flow path : Large and wide dripper filtration area allows large particles through short flow path to ensure optimal performance.
• Superior clogging resistance: TurbuNextTM labyrinth assures wide water passages, large deep and wide cross section improves clog resistance.
• High uniformity: Injected molded drippers ensure high uniformity and very low CV, that assure uniform irrigation along all the leaching cycle
• Robust: Internal emitter protected against mechanical damage.

Applications

• On-surface or subsurface installations in heap leached mines
• Flat terrain or slopes of heap leached pads ANTI-MIGRATION DRIPPERLINE RING (OPTIONAL) Pre-installed ring
• Prevents solution migration on uneven surfaces and slopes
• Economical - saves labor
• Available for 16 and 20 mm OD dripperlines
  
• Pre-installed on the dripperline during production (optional)

• Available flow rates: 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 and 8.0 l/h.

Uniram™ RC Ω

UniRam™ RC is a pressure compensated dripper for flexibility of uniform leaching even on sloping terrain – resulting in a uniform  flow of  solution from the top of the pad to the bottom of the slope. An anti-migration mechanism stops water from running down the tube, preventing bottom pooling. It is made with UV and acid resistant polyethylene tubing which is  the highest quality  resins  available. Available diameters: 16, 20 mm OD (outside diameter).

Available flow rates: 1.0, 1.6, 2.3 and 3.5 l/h.

Why UniRam™ RC Ω?

• Uniform flow rates: Pressure compensation over a wide pressure range (up to 4.0 bar) produces uniform dripper flow rates from each dripper outlet.
• Continuously self-flushing: Flushes debris as it is detected, throughout operation, ensuring uninterrupted dripper operation.
• Clog resistant : Self-flushing system with wide filtration area improves resistance to clogging thus making UniRam™ highly resistant.
• Wide flow path: TurboNet™ labyrinth assures wide water passages with large deep and wide cross section to improve clog resistance. Widest water passages within the dripper.
• Robust: Seamless, one-piece construction prevents damage to drippers during installation and retrieval. Anti-migration technology prevents water runoff along pipe.

Applications

• On-surface or subsurface applications.
• Slopes.
• When high uniformity and longer runs are required.
• For long-term, re-use.

Anti-Migration dripperline ring

• Pre-installed ring
• Prevents solution migration on uneven surfaces and slopes.
• Economical – saves labor cost.
• Pre-installed on the dripperline.

DRIPNET PC™ Ω

HEAP LEACHING FOR GOLD & SILVER MINES

DripNet PC™ is a pressure compensated dripper for flexibility of uniform leaching even on sloping terrains – resulting in a uniform flow of solution from the top of the pad to the bottom of the slope. An anti-migration mechanism stops water from running down the tube, preventing bottom pooling. Made with UV and acid resistant polyethylene tubing; the highest quality resins available. Available diameters: 16, 20 mm OD (outside diameter).

Available flow rates: 1.0, 1.6, 2.0 and 3.0 l/h.

Why DRIPNET PC™ Ω?

• Uniform flow: Pressure compensation over a wide pressure range (up to 3.5 bar) produces uniform dripper flow rates from each dripper outlet.
• Continuously self-flushing: Flushes debris as it is detected, throughout operation, ensuring uninterrupted dripper operation.
• Clog resistant : Self-flushing system with wide filtration area improves resistance to clogging thus making DripNet PC™ highly resistant.
• Wide flow path: TurboNet™ labyrinth assures wide yet shorter water passages, with large deep and wide cross section that improves dripper's clog resistance.
• Robust: Seamless, one-piece construction prevents damage to drippers during installation and retrieval.

Applications

• On-surface or subsurface applications.
• Ideal for slopes irrigation.
• When high uniformity and longer runs are required.
• For long-term, re-use.

NETAFIM™ FLEXIBLE PIPES FLEXNET™ HP

FlexNet™ is an innovative flexible and portable sub-main solution that is suitable for drip irrigation and sprinkler systems. The lightweight FlexNet is equipped with integral welded outlets spaced to save labor. Reducing leaks, weed growth and muddy spots due to perfect sealing, FlexNet series offers peace of mind.

Why FLEXNET™ HP?

• Easy to install: Reduced labor through simple and fast installation and retrieval, that is achieved due to low product weight, pre-ordered welded outlets at a spacing that match farmer needs, and specially-designed dripperline connectors that require no glue or Teflon.
• Innovative and flexible : Dripperlines remain in the same position throughout the entire season due to avoidance of the "snaking" phenomenon that is prevalent with other sub-main pipes in the market.
• High Performance: Due to perfect sealing between the pipe and its patented outlets, FlexNet reduces weed growth and muddy spots, while ensuring high performance for many years.
