The most reliable and robust protection for anti-icing systems equipped with AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC units

Farm

The producer is a Spanish company a global leader in plant innovation, as well as a breeder and producer of such well-known varieties as the Tango mandarin.

The Challenge

In addition to protect issuers For drip irrigation, we had to be on the lookout for possible clogging in the frost protection systems on the farm, where about 1,000 hectares of avocados and Tango mandarins are grown.

This project was complex because of the large volume of water they operate, since the anti-frost system must function without being divided into sections, providing a flow rate of 13 m³/h per hectare for the duration of the frost.

The Solution

Since this is a project to be carried out in several phases, the following are being installed: filtration heads as the crop grows. It currently has 18 units AZUD HELIX AUTOMATIC 4DCL12/12FX DLP MG 130 MICRON BMD, with a total hourly flow rate of approximately 7,000 m³ among them all.

The configuration and installation of filtration equipment allows for the total water supply required during the application of anti-frost irrigation, thereby ensuring the proper operation of the system on the farm.

A dual-line drip irrigation system is used for crop irrigation. AZUD PREMIER PC AS 16/1.6L 1.2mm 0.40m RD by crop row.

In addition, dripline was also used to help the plants take root during the first few months AZUD TUB PE32 D16 E1.2 where they are fitted with online drippers, which ensure that the seedlings thrive during their early stages.

Benefits of the Solution

The safety and durability of the filtration systems allows manufacturers and installers to drive safely a property of this size, even though it is several hundred kilometers away.

The energy savings This is also important, since cleaning at just 1.5 bar results in significantly lower operating costs in this regard.

In addition, thanks to the system Helix, the filter heads delay the need for backwashing, allowing for another significant reduction in energy costs.
