Horticultural Drip Irrigation Screen Filter

1. High-Efficiency Filtration

The shuoxin Horticultural Drip Irrigation Screen Filter utilizes a woven mesh made of 304 or 316L stainless steel. It effectively captures impurities in the water—such as silt, organic debris, and weed roots—with particle sizes of ≥150μm, achieving a filtration efficiency of 98.2%. Field tests conducted in groundwater irrigation scenarios with a sand content of 300 mg/L demonstrated that, after installing this filter, the drip emitter clogging rate plummeted from 28% to just 2.1%, thereby preventing issues of uneven irrigation caused by blockages.

2. Pressure-Resistant; Adaptable to All Cultivation Conditions

Its housing is made of polypropylene plastic, offering resistance to aging and corrosionThe surface can withstand a pressure of 1.6 MPa and is coated with a UV-protective layer, ensuring that it will not crack or deform, even after prolonged exposure to outdoor sunlight.

3. Low Resistance & Smooth Flow

The Horticultural Drip Irrigation Screen Filter features an optimized internal flow channel design with an expanded screen surface area of 1,200 cm². This results in a water flow resistance of only 0.05 MPa. Field data indicates that, at equivalent flow rates, this filter can reduce the energy consumption of the irrigation system's pump by 12%. Furthermore, it supports a wide range of flow specifications, accommodating rates from 5 to 50 m³/h.

4. Quick Cleaning Without Disassembly

The device is equipped with a side-mounted drain structure, allowing for cleaning without the need to dismantle the piping.When the pressure differential between the inlet and outlet reaches 0.05 MPa, open the drain valve; a backflush cycle can be completed within 30 seconds to discharge all captured impurities. The filter screen itself can also be easily removed for direct rinsing with clean water.

Case Studies

At a Spanish greenhouse strawberry farm, groundwater used for irrigation contained a sand content as high as 280 mg/L. Due to a lack of filtration, the drip emitters would clog every three days, and the rate of malformed strawberries reached 22%. After the client purchased 12 of shuoxin Horticultural Drip Irrigation Screen Filters, the drip emitter clogging rate dropped to 1.8%, the rate of malformed strawberries decreased by 25%, and crop yields improved.

Installation Steps

Secure the Horticultural Drip Irrigation Screen Filter at the head of the irrigation system, installing it in a horizontal position. Depending on the interface specifications, connect it to a water supply pipe or PE pipe, using PTFE tape to ensure a watertight seal; verify that the direction of water flow aligns with the arrow indicator on the filter. Pressure gauges may be installed both upstream and downstream of the filter to monitor the pressure differential; if the water source has a high sand content, a centrifugal filter may be installed upstream of the screen filter.
