A robust, reliable solution for irrigation and farming applications

Agriculture and Irrigation

Efficient water management is essential to modern agriculture – especially in the face of growing water scarcity and the challenges posed by climate change.

BT-Maric Flow Control Valves provide a reliable, mechanical solution for irrigation and farming applications, ensuring a constant, pre-set flow rate regardless of pressure fluctuations within the system. This makes them ideal for maximizing water efficiency and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

Customizable to meet your exact flow specifications, BT-Maric valves help farmers and growers achieve consistent irrigation results, reduce water waste, and get the most out of every drop.

Key Benefits of BT-Maric Flow Control Valves in Agriculture

1. Reliable Water Distribution Across Large Installations

On large farms or properties with long distribution lines, BT-Maric valves maintain a consistent, pre-set flow rate—ensuring that every zone receives the correct amount of water. This eliminates pressure loss at distant points and supports uniform irrigation across the entire system.

2. Balanced Flow for Multiple Outlets

In systems with multiple outlets or varying elevations, BT-Maric valves automatically compensate for pressure differences. This ensures even water distribution, including in higher or more remote sections, reducing uneven crop growth and improving overall system efficiency.

3. Optimized Water Control in Vertical Farming

Vertical farming demands precise flow control. BT-Maric valves prevent overwatering at lower levels while ensuring adequate flow reaches upper tiers. The result is balanced hydration throughout the structure, promoting healthy and consistent plant development.

4. Flow Limitation in Submersible Installations

In submersible systems where water levels fluctuate, BT-Maric valves stabilize flow rates, particularly useful when water tables are high. This prevents sudden surges at system start-up, protecting equipment and maintaining steady operational pressure.

Key Applications in Agriculture and Irrigation

• Water Distribution Over Long Distances

  Ideal for bore schemes and large-scale irrigation networks, BT-Maric valves ensure uniform water delivery across extended pipe runs and multiple properties. They help maintain stable mains pressure and promote equitable water allocation, even in remote zones.

• Sprinkler Flow Control

  By maintaining a constant, pre-set flow rate, the valves prevent both over- and under-watering. This ensures consistent sprinkler output regardless of elevation changes or pressure variations – minimizing water waste and maximizing irrigation efficiency.

• Protecting Bore and Pump Systems

  BT-Maric valves help prevent bore collapse by limiting flow surges, even when system pressures fluctuate. In addition, they protect centrifugal pumps from cavitation and bearing wear, extending service life and reducing maintenance costs.

• Uniform Flow at Varied Elevations

  These valves enable consistent flow at each outlet—even when installed across terrains with varying elevations. This supports balanced irrigation in both flat fields and sloped or hilly environments.

• Animal Farming Applications

  Accurate and tamper-proof flow regulation ensures safe, consistent water delivery to troughs, dosing systems, and stalls. This promotes animal health, system reliability, and overall farm productivity.

Specialized Benefits in Agricultural Settings

• Efficient Fertilizer and Vitamin Dosing

  BT-Maric valves maintain precise flow rates for fertilizer and vitamin dosing systems, ensuring that each plant or animal receives the correct amount—regardless of pressure variations or distance within the system. This supports uniform growth and animal health, while minimizing resource waste.

• Prevention of Motor Overload

  By limiting excessive flow from pumps, the valves help reduce power consumption and protect motors from overload. This not only conserves energy but also extends the lifespan of critical equipment, which is especially valuable in large-scale or high-demand farming operations.

• Optimized Flow for Vertical Farming

  In vertical farming setups, BT-Maric valves ensure even water distribution across all levels. They prevent over-watering at lower tiers while maintaining sufficient flow to upper levels – optimizing water use and supporting consistent crop development in space-efficient growing systems.

Additional Applications for BT-Maric Flow Control Valves in Agriculture

• Backwash Flow Control for Water Treatment Systems

  Regulate and limit backwash flow rates to maintain efficient and reliable filtration performance in water treatment systems used for agricultural operations. Ensures filters are cleaned effectively without wasting water or overloading system components.

• Stock Trough Flow Control

  Provide controlled, tamper-proof water flow to livestock troughs, supporting consistent hydration while minimizing spillage and water waste. Ideal for remote or unmonitored installations.

• Controlled Irrigation for Crop Yield Optimization

  Deliver a steady and accurate water supply to crops, especially important for water-sensitive varieties. By ensuring the right amount of hydration, BT-Maric valves help optimize plant health, reduce overwatering, and support maximum yield potential.
