What is Hydroflume ?
hydroflume, also known as the gated pipe irrigation method, was developed to prevent water wastage in traditional furrow irrigation systems. The term "hydroflume" means water slide. This irrigation method was initially invented in 1953 in the state of Nebraska, USA, using iron pipes. However, it didn't take long for modern polymer materials to replace the iron pipes.
In 1372 (1993), this irrigation method, known by the trade name "hydroflume," was first produced by Arya Plastic Industries. As a result, more than 84,000 hectares of land, including large-scale sugar cane and related industries in Khuzestan province, were irrigated using this method. The favorable results of hydroflume irrigation, which is the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective method, made it increasingly popular among farmers and horticulturists. Now, after more than two decades, the hydroflume irrigation method, also known as low-pressure irrigation, is widely used in various parts of the country.

As a result, more than 84,000 hectares of land, including large-scale sugar cane and related industries in Khuzestan province, were irrigated using this method. The favorable results of Hydroflum irrigation, which is the fastest, easiest, and most cost-effective method, made it increasingly popular among farmers and horticulturists. Now, after more than two decades, the hydroflume irrigation method, also known as low-pressure irrigation, is widely used in various parts of the country.

Hydroflume equipment
-
Hydroflume pipe
Hydroflume pipes are actually thick, large and compact hoses that are responsible for delivering water to the desired points. A hydroflom pipe has different sizes and dimensions according to its specific use. The color of these tubes is black and they are rolled up during packaging.
-
Valved hydroflume
Valves are outlets that allow water to enter or exit by being installed on hydraulic pipes. These valves have two main parts, cover and main screw. Valves are made of industrial propylene materials and can be adjusted from zero to 4.5 liters per second.
-
Hydroflume fastener
The hydroflume fastener has the task of maintaining the connection between two hydroflume pipes or the connection of the pipe with the main water source. Fasteners mainly consist of two parts, metal interface and steel fastener. These fasteners are made of galvanized steel. Fasteners keep hydrofluid connections stable and leak-free.
-
End Clamp
The end clamp has the function of closing the end of the hydroflum tube. These clamps are made of plated or galvanized iron. Corrosion resistance and high precision in the absence of leakage are among the characteristics of a suitable end clamp. The end clamp is fixed with a screw at the end.
-
Hydroflume punch
In order to cut the hydroflume pipe, a punching machine is needed to install the valves. By making circular cuts on the hydrofluid pipes, this device provides the basis for installing valves and outlets. The punch is mainly made of polypropylene and stainless steel.
-
Air vent valve
At times when air collects inside the pipe, the need for an upper valve is necessary and necessary to release the air. The air discharge valve of the hydroflume tubes consists of three parts: the base, the valve, and the body. These valves are produced through injection molding and made of polypropylene and additives.
Important Notes for Hydroflume Irrigation
- Be sure to pour a little soil on it at a distance of one meter before opening the water in the pipe, in order not to move it .
- Avoid dragging the pipes on the ground to get it to the desired location.
- Do not touch the sharp and cutting tools with the hydroflume pipe.
- Before spreading the pipe, install and secure its fittings.
- Be sure to make sure that the fasteners are tight and the clip is stable.
- Preferably, connect the hydroflume pipes to the pool or tank without pressure.
- The best sources used for these pipes are tankers, canals, and barrels.
- Do not connect the Hydroflume irrigation pipe directly to the outlet of the well with the pump.
- It is very necessary and necessary to build the pipes before entering the water.
- The entire surface of the pipe must be placed on a smooth path without any elevations.
- In order to prevent the pipe from rolling, create small streams along its path.
- Do this to install Hydroflume in the morning.
- Places that have a slope should use the step method to place the pipe.
