Claims
- 1. Method of production of a dripline consisting of a duct and individual emitters, which emitters are attached to the warm inner surface of the wall of the duct during extrusion of the duct from the extrusion head, the method of production comprising the following steps:
- provide an emitter in the interior of the duct as the duct is extruded from the extrusion head,
- exert a radial force to the emitter by changing the height of the radial clearance between the inner surface of the wall of the duct and a driver provided within the duct at a distance from the inner surface of the wall of the duct, and carrying a periodic motion transversely with respect to the axis of the duct, to press and attach the emitter to the inner surface of the wall of the duct.
- 2. Method of production of a dripline according to claim 1, whereby the driver carries an impulsive movement to change the height of the clearance between the inner surface of the wall of the duct and the driver.
- 3. Method of production of a dripline according to claim 1, whereby the emitters are pressed in the inner surface of the wall of the duct against a calibration unit provided around the wall of the duct.
- 4. Method of production of a dripline according to claim 1, whereby the driver consists of a moving part, whereby the movement of the moving part changes the height of the clearance between the inner surface of the wall of the duct and the driver.
- 5. Method of production of a dripline consisting of a duct and individual emitters, which emitters are attached to the warm inner surface of the wall of the duct during extrusion of the duct from the extrusion head, the method of production comprising the following steps:
- provide an emitter in the interior of the duct as the duct is extruded from the extrusion head,
- exert a radial force to the emitter by changing the height of the radial distance between the inner wall of the duct and a driver provided within the duct at a distance from the inner surface of the wall of the duct, by moving periodically a calibration unit located downstream from the extrusion head, transversely with respect to the axis of the duct, to press and attach the emitter to the inner surface of the wall of the duct.
- 6. Method of production of a dripline according to claims 1 or 5, whereby the height of the radial clearance between the driver and the inner surface of the wall of the duct is larger than the height of the emitter.
