Drip Tape
Drip tape is a key component used in drip irrigation systems, specifically designed for irrigating crops planted in linear and continuous rows. Drip tape is one of the most essential elements in modern irrigation, made from polyethylene and equipped with emitters or perforated outlets placed at fixed intervals along the tape.
These outlets deliver water directly to the plant root zone with high precision.
Drip tapes can be installed above the crop, laid on the soil surface, or buried at shallow depths beneath the soil. Subsurface installation helps keep the tape in place and protects it from environmental factors such as wind and heavy rainfall, ensuring more stable and efficient irrigation performance.
General Features of Drip Tape
- Quality of Raw Materials:
The most important factor in drip tape performance is the quality of the polyethylene and other raw materials used in its production. - Climate Conditions:
Although drip tapes are UV‑resistant, high temperature and humidity can reduce their lifespan. It is recommended to choose high‑quality tapes with strong UV protection. - Tape Thickness:
Thicker drip tapes generally offer longer durability in the field. Lightweight, thin‑wall tapes are suitable for short‑term or seasonal crops. - Operating Water Pressure:
If the water pressure exceeds the recommended limit, the tape may become damaged or burst. Always check the required flow rate and pressure specifications before purchasing. - Filtration System:
Impurities in water can clog the outlets of drip tape. Using an appropriate filtration system helps maintain proper performance and prevents blockage.
Nanotechnology and Symmetric Emitter Drip Tapes
Emitter‑type drip tapes are drip irrigation tapes that contain built‑in emitters (plaques) positioned along the centerline of the tape. Water is discharged through these emitters and uniformly moistens the soil around the plant roots.
These tapes offer several advantages, including high irrigation uniformity, consistent moisture distribution across the field, and the ability to extend tape length in long crop rows without compromising performance.
These drip tapes typically have a wall thickness ranging from 180 to 600 microns and an effective lifespan of 2 to 3 years, depending on environmental conditions and water quality.
Symmetric emitter drip tapes are manufactured with multiple outlet spacings and various flow rates, using high‑quality raw materials. With an annual production capacity exceeding 50 million meters, these tapes are designed to deliver reliable and efficient irrigation performance.
Emitter drip tapes are available with fixed emitter spacing, commonly 10, 20, or 30 cm, ensuring precise and uniform water delivery along the crop row.

Seam‑Welded Drip Irrigation Tape
Seam‑welded drip tape, also known as zipper‑type drip tape, does not contain built‑in emitters. Instead, it features a zigzag (zip‑like) flow path formed along the side seam of the tape. This labyrinth structure reduces water pressure and allows water droplets to exit through the micro‑slits, delivering moisture directly to the plant root zone.
These seam‑welded drip tapes are produced using high‑quality raw materials and are available with various outlet spacings and flow rates. With an annual production capacity exceeding 180 million meters, they are designed to meet the needs of large‑scale agricultural operations.
The product is supplied in 1000‑meter coils with proper packaging to ensure ease of transport and storage. In addition to domestic markets, these drip tapes are widely used by farmers in neighboring countries such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Iraq, Turkmenistan, and Turkey.
This company is among the few manufacturers in the country that hold the national incentive standard for drip irrigation tapes. Adherence to engineering principles and production standards is a core priority for our technical team. The company’s drip tapes are fully certified and approved by the Soil and Water Department of the Ministry of Agriculture.
