Thicker Pipe Means Longer Life
Zimmatics standard 6 5/8 inch (16.8cm) pipe is 15 percent thicker than that of the competition. Other diamteres are available to provide maximum efficiency.
Pipe Construction
- Galvanized steel Offering the lowest cost per foot, galvanized steel pipe is ideal for "mild" corrosive situations.
- Poly-Lined Pipeline
- Ideal for most corrosive water conditions - municipal, industrial and agricultural.
- This includes a variety of applications: food processing, chemical, waste water, textiles, mining, pulp and paper industries - just to name a few.
- This is a top-of-the-line alternative pipeline that offers excellent waste water management solutions. Heavy Duty H.D.P.E. Liner (High Density Polyethylene) can handle corrosivbe elements, saline and acidic water.
For serious problem water, high-alloy stainless steel pipe offers the highest available level of corrosion resistance. This method is ideal for long-term service in industrial and food processing applications - in addition to offering potentially higher resale value.
Aluminium
Zimmatics high strength aluminium piping provides superior corrosion resistance even under the harshest water conditions. In addition, its ultra smooth interior surface means less friction loss for greater efficiency. For a combination of strength, versatillity and efficiency, aluminium piping is the right choice for many irrigators.
