Maximise Success

From turn-key solutions & on-site supervision of maintenance to timely product supply, Netafim takes care of it all, so you can get on with everything else.

Maximum ore recovery

Netafim drippers and micro emitters help you extract more metal per meter, irrespective of module size, heap topography or water conditions. It boils down to industry-leading uniformity that comes from product excellence, expert hydraulic design and targeted work in the field.

Emitter design & manufacturing

Patented TurboNext™ anti-clogging technology ensures minimum clogging and maximum ore recovery across your entire heap, while high-grade raw materials and strict QC procedures result in CV of less than 5% – the lowest emitter flow-rate variation in the industry.

Irrigation system design

Netafim’s professional hydraulic design – building on 50 years of global irrigation and mining project experience - ensures constant pressure across the entire leached surface, from the pile to the slopes.

Operation and maintenance

Special hydraulic valves and filters, coupled with a strict flushing protocol combine to further minimise clogging and maximise irrigation uniformity and metal recovery.

Product offering for mining

Our innovative products are designed to give you increased accuracy, control and uniformity. Across the range. From system heads to connectors.

Drippers and Dripperlines

The industry leading drippers, with proven experience in mines leaching.
Superior design of the labyrinth, wide and deep flow path cross-section and a large filtration area make the dripper clogging resistant and assure uniform irrigation along all the leaching cycle.

Sprinklers - GYRONET™ TURBO

Heap leaching for cooper, gold & silver mines in combination with MegaStand™ and flexible pipes: FlexNet™.

MegaStand™ is the ultimate solution for overhead irrigation of leaching pads and is made from acid resisting materials making it suitable for multiple leaching of minerals.

Valves

Hydraulic flush valves and pressure reducing valves, High resistance to corrosive water and other acid media. Simple to install, simple and reliable design - diaphragm is the only moving component

Shaft, seals or bearings are not located within the water's passage way. A wide selection of materials, coating and diaphragm types.

Filters

Protect your irrigation system from even the harshest water conditions.
Screen or Disc filters. Operated manually, electrically or simply by the power of water.
Our systems are extremely robust and built to last, optimising water and energy usage.

Netafim FlexNet pipes

PORTABLE, LEAK-FREE MAIN AND SUBMAIN PIPES
It weighs less than half as much as other pipes, comes with customised pre-welded outlets, it’s faster to install and it never leaks.
It’s the most innovative pipe in irrigation – designed to be easier to use, more durable and entirely customisable. The right pipes do more than move water.
