Amnon EmitterlineAmnon PC: CNL & AS

CNL

AS

Amnonan innovative, pressure-compensating dripline with special anti-sypon and compensating non-leakage models, based on the cascade labyrinth. Special model include Amnon CNL (Pressure-compensated non-drainage design) and Amnon PC AS (Pressure-compensated anti-siphon design). Amnon emitterline is the choice for greenhouses, vegetables, vineyards and orchards.

The Cascade LabyrinthThe Cascade Labyrinth signifies a breakthrough in low-volume dripline systems. The unique structure of the dripper facilitates intensified self-cleaning, preventing clogging and vastly improving durability.

ADVANTAGES

Reliable use of low-volume drippersUnique self-cleaning operationWider water passagesVery high resistance to cloggingLong-term flow accuracy and uniformityLonger lateralsLower costs per areaExtended product life

DOUBLE FLOW SYSTEM

The Cascade labyrinth teeth create a double-flow regime that combines rapid central flow with cyclone turbulence, facilitating constant cleaning and flushing. This prevents clogging and improves dripper durability.

EFFICIENT SELF-CLEANING

During the self-cleaning process, dirt and sand particles that penetrate the filtration system are washed away, preventing sedimentation and clogging.

HYDRAULIC CHARACTERISTIC OF THE

LABYRINTH

The regulating ratio of the Cascade labyrinth is 1:2.2 - while the pressure is doubled, the flow rate changes by only 45%.
