High-Speed Flat Emitter Feeding System

The production process begins with a fully automatic flat emitter feeding system. Thousands of emitters are automatically sorted, oriented, and transported into the inserting mechanism without manual intervention.

The intelligent vibration sorting technology ensures:

· Continuous emitter supply

· Accurate orientation

· Stable feeding

· Reduced labor costs

· Minimal emitter loss

The feeding system guarantees uninterrupted production even during long operating hours.

Precision High-Speed Emitter Insertion

One of the core technologies of this production line is the high-speed emitter inserting system.

The advanced servo-controlled mechanism inserts each flat emitter precisely into the molten PE pipe during extrusion. Accurate positioning ensures consistent emitter spacing throughout the entire production process.

Available emitter spacing includes:

· 100 mm

· 150 mm

· 200 mm

· 300 mm

· 400 mm

· Customized spacing available

High insertion accuracy significantly improves irrigation uniformity and product reliability.

Advanced Extrusion Technology

The production line utilizes a high-efficiency single screw extruder specially designed for PE drip irrigation tape production.

Features include:

· High plasticizing efficiency

· Stable melt pressure

· Low energy consumption

· Excellent mixing performance

· Long service life

The optimized screw design produces uniform melt flow, resulting in smooth tape surfaces and excellent mechanical strength.

The precision extrusion die ensures perfect encapsulation of the emitters while maintaining uniform wall thickness.

Intelligent PLC Automation System

The entire production line is controlled through a modern PLC control system with a user-friendly touchscreen interface.

Operators can easily monitor and adjust:

· Extrusion temperature

· Production speed

· Emitter spacing

· Motor synchronization

· Alarm information

· Production statistics

Automatic synchronization between all production units minimizes manual adjustment while improving production consistency.

Stable Cooling and Calibration System

After extrusion, the drip tape enters the vacuum calibration tank and cooling system.

The optimized cooling design provides:

· Accurate tape dimensions

· Stable pipe diameter

· Smooth surface finish

· Excellent roundness

· Reduced deformation

Efficient cooling allows higher production speeds without sacrificing product quality.

High-Speed Haul-Off and Automatic Winding

The precision haul-off unit maintains constant pulling force throughout production.

Servo synchronization prevents tape deformation while ensuring stable production speed.

The automatic double-station winding machine provides:

· Automatic roll changing

· Uniform winding tension

· Neat finished rolls

· Reduced downtime

· Increased production efficiency

Finished drip tape rolls are compact, uniform, and easy to package and transport.
