PC Dripper Automatic Assembly Machine
A rotary automatic assembly machine that builds pressure compensating drippers by fitting the body, silicone diaphragm and cover, welding and checking them in one cycle.
RAL 5021 · semi-matt finishProduct introduction
How the PC Dripper Automatic Assembly Machine is engineered, and which sub-assemblies protect the performance your customers actually buy.
A pressure compensating dripper is made of three parts: a PE body, a silicone diaphragm and a cover. Assembly has to place the diaphragm accurately, weld the cover so the joint seals, and reject any part where the diaphragm is missing or misaligned.
The BENK MACHINE assembly machine is built around a rotary indexing table with labelled stations. Parts are fed from vibration bowls, positioned by a robot or pick and place unit if required, welded by laser, ultrasonic or melt depending on the dripper design, and inspected by CCD before the finished dripper is sorted. The PLC is a Siemens unit and every station is visually labelled to simplify maintenance.

Technical advantages
Every sub-assembly below is selected to protect the performance your customers buy.
Accurate diaphragm placement
CCD vision confirms that the silicone diaphragm is present, correctly positioned and dimensionally acceptable before welding.
Reliable welding
Laser welding is fast and stable, and melt or ultrasonic welding can be selected according to the dripper design.
Automatic reject
Any dripper that fails inspection is automatically diverted, so defective parts do not reach the packing station.
Flexible feeding
Vibration bowl feeding with orientation, and robot handling on the online type, cope with small parts reliably.
Clear maintenance
Every station is labelled to match the PLC and the touch screen, which shortens fault finding.
Complete line
Feeding, assembly, welding, inspection and sorting are integrated in one machine.
Key benefits
- Accurate diaphragm placement — CCD vision confirms that the silicone diaphragm is present, correctly positioned and dimensionally acceptable before welding.

Why buy from BENK MACHINE
Extrusion specialists, not traders
BENK MACHINE designs and builds extrusion and drip irrigation equipment in Zhangjiagang with an in-house R and D and process team, so machine selection is matched to your resin and product instead of a catalogue number.
Evidence before shipment
Every machine is assembled and run in our works. You receive trial video, gauge and output records, and are welcome to attend the factory acceptance test.
Total cost, not lowest price
Energy efficient drives, permanent magnet motors and optimised heating reduce kWh per tonne, which usually matters more over five years than the initial purchase price.
Real commissioning support
Our engineers install, commission, train your operators and stay involved until the machine hits the specified output and quality on your material.
Spares and response
Critical spares are stocked for fast dispatch, and the Siemens Ethernet control platform allows remote diagnosis before a service visit is needed.
Upgrades as you grow
Co-extrusion, gauge control, automation and downstream equipment can be added later, protecting your original investment.
