Flat Dripper (Emitter)
The inline flat emitter used in drip tape, supplied in a range of flows with a self-cleaning labyrinth flow path and a precision inlet filter.
RAL 5021 · semi-matt finishProduct introduction
How the Flat Dripper (Emitter) is engineered, and which sub-assemblies protect the performance your customers actually buy.
The flat dripper is the emitter inside almost every drip tape. Water enters through a fine inlet filter, passes along a labyrinth channel that dissipates pressure, and leaves through a punched outlet in the tape wall.
BENK MACHINE moulds flat drippers from virgin polyethylene on precision multi-cavity moulds, which keeps the dimensional tolerance tight and the flexibility of the part consistent. The three dimensional inlet design and the stepped teeth of the channel resist clogging and allow debris to be flushed through during operation.

Technical advantages
Every sub-assembly below is selected to protect the performance your customers buy.
Clog resistant inlet
The three dimensional filter admits water while holding back sand and organic debris.
Self-cleaning channel
The stepped teeth flush particles through during operation, which reduces blockage over the season.
Uniform discharge
Tight moulding tolerance keeps flow variation between emitters to a minimum.
Virgin PE compound
A pure compound gives consistent flexibility and dimensional stability, and the material is recyclable.
High cavity production
Moulded on 32 to 800 cavity tools, so unit cost falls as volume rises.
Available as nano type
A fine-pitch nano version is available for narrow emitter spacing and dense row crops.
Key benefits
- Clog resistant inlet — The three dimensional filter admits water while holding back sand and organic debris.
- Self-cleaning channel — The stepped teeth flush particles through during operation, which reduces blockage over the season.
- Uniform discharge — Tight moulding tolerance keeps flow variation between emitters to a minimum.
- Virgin PE compound — A pure compound gives consistent flexibility and dimensional stability, and the material is recyclable.

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.
