Vernay Announces:   Strengthening Our Strategic Presence in the Drip Irrigation Market

 

Vernay continues its strategic focus on the pressure compensated drip irrigation and sprinkler system market with exclusively developed compounds, formulations and processes. 

30 years of formulation and valve manufacturing experience in partnership with a leading drip irrigation manufacturer, have lead to a unique portfolio of compounds targeted to meet your end customer’s requirements.  Dedicated manufacturing is located in Israel along with additional capacity in the US.

Compensated Drip Irrigation

Each VernaDrip® valve is designed for pressure compensated emitters as well as micro-sprinklers

  • The VernaDrip® valve provides a reliable mechanism for consistent water flow which improves plant quality and growth
  • The VernaDrip® valve in combination with a custom dripper body, helps to prevent water drainage from the system, therefore, saving on water cost
  • Pressure compensating (PC) emitters with a VernaDrip® valve prevents wasteful water run-off on irrigated slopes

 

VernaDrip® is a family of proprietary compounds for pressure compensated (PC) drippers, typically as a diaphragm valve. 
Each formulation ensures quality performance characteristics important to the end user: resistance to ammonia based fertilizers; amine based insecticides, acids and bases as well as typical descaling agents. 
Therefore, VernaDrip® can extend the products life and durability while under field use.

 

Why should you choose Vernay products for your drip irrigation needs?

  • 30 years of technical experience with tried and true material choices
  • Proprietary continuous strip cure technology improves material characteristics and consistency of performance
  • More reliable valve performance while in use due to tight manufacturing tolerances
  • Customization of materials and shapes
  • Custom strip thickness and widths designed to improve valve fit 
    • Width ranges from 20mm to 120mm
    • Thickness ranges from 0.2mm to 2.0mm
  • Precision valves are available in traditional silicone based compounds as well as many other customizable materials

 

Some key characteristics of the VernaDrip® product family include: high cross-link density, high molecular weight polymers and low hysteresis filler systems. 
Therefore, consistent flow is obtained regardless of the shape or size chosen. 
Minor adjustments to the formulation will allow you to customize your product to meet your production needs and maintain the inherent resistance characteristics. 

 

Comfort is in knowing that the material technology you are purchasing is backed by Vernay’s 30 years of experience within the drip irrigation market.
