Abstract: A system for fabricating an irrigation dripper, comprises several processing stations. One or more longitudinal drilling stations drill in an elongated extruded body of an irrigation dripper a first bore and a second bore, wherein the second bore is contiguous to the first bore and is smaller in diameter than the first bore. An additional drilling station drills an additional bore in the body to connect the first bore with an external surface of the elongated body. An assembling station inserts an extruded rod through the first and the second bores, such that the second bore holds a distal end of the rod to maintain a gap between the rod and an inner wall of the first bore.

Abstract: A spindle assembly configured to be assembled in a machining device. A front cover of the spindle assembly includes passages to allow high pressure fluid to flow towards the blades of the turbine and rotate the turbine; openings located at the front end of the front cover may allow low pressure fluid to flow out of the spindle assembly; passages extending from behind the turbine to the front end of the front cover may allow collection of low pressure fluids that flow towards the rear end of the spindle after hitting the blades of the turbine and to direct these fluids towards the front end of the front cover and out of the spindle assembly. The housing of the spindle assembly may include a rear section configured to be assembled onto the machining device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a bead comprising: i) an external zone comprising a super absorbent polymer (SAP) that is capable of absorbing at least about 5 times its weight in water, surrounding ii) at least one internal zone comprising a core that contains at least one agrochemical, wherein the external zone is permeable to oxygen when hydrated, or the internal zone is formulated to release the at least one agrochemical into the external zone over a period of at least about one week when the hydrogel of the external zone is hydrated. The present invention also provides methods of using beads of the invention.
