The profitability of any agricultural holding depends directly on its hydraulic infrastructure. Proper maintenance of an irrigation system guarantees uniform distribution. Ignoring these preventive tasks causes costly breakdowns and production losses. Taking care of each component ensures operational efficiency for many productive seasons.
Preventive maintenance avoids critical stoppages during moments of maximum water demand. It ensures that every drop of water reaches its destination correctly. A well-kept installation extends its useful life and makes the initial investment profitable. Neglecting periodic review compromises the uniformity and quality of the entire harvest.
A comprehensive check of vital components guarantees operation. You must pay attention to areas most prone to usual wear and tear. Early detection of failures avoids costly unforeseen stoppages during the campaign. Establish a review schedule for these fundamental elements of the system.
Filters protect the entire system from impurities and solid particles. Periodically clean rings or meshes to ensure constant flow. Perform backwashes on sand filters to maintain their operational effectiveness. Monitor pressure gauges to detect abnormal pressure differences between inlets.
Inspect secondary pipes for visible leaks or breaks. Measure pressure at the ends to ensure hydraulic uniformity. Replace drippers that show clear signs of clogging or damage. Verify the correct functioning of air valves and vacuum breakers.
This equipment is the brain that controls crop nutrition. Check the status of dosing pumps and injection systems. It is vital to calibrate pH and conductivity probes frequently. Check that there are no leaks in the main equipment connections.
A comprehensive hygiene plan is vital for the maintenance of an irrigation system.
It eliminates organic and mineral residues that reduce operating flow.
Avoids serious blockages by applying preventive treatments periodically and in a controlled manner.
At INTA we design our fertigation equipment and climate control thinking about durability and operational ease. Our technology not only automates irrigation, but facilitates key preventive tasks to extend the installation’s useful life.
Our controllers manage automatic filter washing by pressure difference or time. They ensure the system always works in optimal conditions without constant manual intervention.
Through the SYSINTA platform, you can supervise readings from pressure and flow sensors in real time. This allows detecting leaks, breaks, or blockages instantly, acting before the crop suffers damage.
We offer close after-sales service to help you with tuning. We guarantee the supply of original spare parts and the necessary technical advice to keep your equipment like the first day.
Proper maintenance transforms technical efficiency into direct profitability for your agricultural business. Trust in INTA’s advanced technology and expert service to keep your irrigation system running at full performance season after season; contact our team to design a plan tailored to you.
It is recommended to review calibration at least once a month or whenever suspicious readings are observed. Uncalibrated probes can cause incorrect nutrition and damage the crop.
It depends on the type of obstruction. For lime or fertilizer precipitates, acids (nitric or phosphoric) are used, while for organic matter (algae, biofilm), oxidants like hydrogen peroxide are recommended.
The clearest sign is the lack of uniformity in the crop or dry zones. Technically, it is detected by measuring the flow at various points of the line; if the flow has decreased significantly compared to the nominal, there is clogging.
Yes, especially in areas with risk of frost. Emptying the network prevents water from freezing and breaking pipes or rigid components, in addition to preventing stagnant water that generates biofilm.
Performing periodic maintenance of an irrigation system is essential. It is the only way to guarantee that components last more years. This ensures they function with the precision of the first day.
