Agri-Inject Offers Two-Way Check Valve For Injection System Maintenance
July 16, 2014 Agri-Inject, a supplier of valves and chemigation, fertigation, and insectigator pumps and systems, now offers a unit that is a two-way check valve to prevent backflow into its injection valves.
The free Mist’r Mind’r “clean key” from Agri-Inject features two different key sizes, allowing it to be used on both the Classic Mister Mist’r and Ultra Mister Mist’r injection valves.
“The Mister Mist’r unit serves as a positive two-way check valve to prevent backflow of water into the system,” explains Erik Tribelhorn, CEO of Agri-Inject. “This also prevents accidental leakage of chemical into the mainline water stream during shutdown. Thanks to its unique design, the valve essentially atomizes the injected product and evenly distributes it into the irrigation water flow. At the same time, moving parts are continually cleaned by moving water, ensuring a long life.”
Like any moving part, though, it can malfunction if it is subjected to foreign material as a result of not having a filter on the chemigation pump or pumping too much sand with the water. Hence, Tribelhorn recommends checking the valve at least once a year to make sure it is operating freely.
Customers can simply log onto the Agri-Inject website and register their request.
All that is typically required during inspection and maintenance is to remove and disassemble the valve using the free key, rinse in clean water and reassemble, making sure it seats against the seal.
