Dramm introduces new PCAS Emitter

Dramm introduces a new, larger pressure compensated emitter designed to reduce clogging. The new PCAS Emitter has a larger body that allows for a larger labyrinth. This larger labyrinth allows more debris to pass through without collecting in the emitter and clogging the flow.

Standard drip irrigation emitters and flow restriction devices utilize a zig-zag like labyrinth to reduce pressure and flow. Most often, these labyrinths are very narrow so that they can fit into a small emitter body. These narrow passages trap debris and algae easily. While filtration on such systems is a requirement, there is always a certain amount of clogging still that occurs.

Unlike most emitters, the new PCAS Emitter has a larger body and a wider labyrinth to reduce the amount of debris trapped in the labyrinth. Filtration is still a requirement with the PCAS System for best practice, but the new, wider labyrinth will reduce the amount of clogged emitters in a system by allowing debris to pass through with less restriction.
