A discrete flat dripper of the non-pressure regulated type of drippers or of the pressure compensatedflow rate regulated type of drippers, suited for being integrally installed within a hose, that comprises a body component whose configuration is essentially rectangular, wherein on its one side that is suited to being affixed to an internal wall of the hose, formed with an exit pool that it is elongated in its dimensions and substantially extends along the entire length of the body component, and with a flow passage circumferentially surrounding a substantial part of the elongated exit pool, and an integral dripper line wherein there are integrated at least one of such discrete flat dripper.

A drip irrigation lateral comprising a water conduit manufactured of a polymeric composition comprising pyrethroid.

A method and system reprocess soiled animal bedding material commingled with animal manure. In one aspect the soiled animal bedding material is separated in a shaker to send at least a preponderance of said manure to a holding tank. In another aspect the bedding is cleaned, rinsed and color is restored. Said bedding material is subsequently dried and a bedding product, fertilizer product, and/or compacted product is formed. Alternatively, said bedding material is dried (without a compacting step) to form a product. In another aspect, the steps of separation, cleaning, rinsing and/or color restoration may be omitted.

A recycling method applied to thermoplastic filaments mixed with undesirable materials. The recycling method includes a feed step and a spreading step. The method continues with a horizontal cutting step wherein the layer of thermoplastic filaments and undesirable materials is leveled, and then a first cutting step wherein the layer is cut in a first vertical direction, and a second cutting step wherein the portions of layers are cut in a second vertical direction orthogonal to the first vertical direction. The method continues with a tearing step, a beating step, a preliminary grinding step, an agglomeration step, a grinding step, a separation step and finally a recovery step.

Methods and apparatus for transporting or delivering elastomeric emitters and inserting elastomeric emitters into drip line are disclosed herein, and more particularly, to methods and apparatus for manufacturing drip line to form an irrigation assembly or system. In one form, the apparatus comprises a feeder, conveyor, emitter drive mechanism and guide bar for insertion into an extruder to bond the elastomeric emitter to an inner surface of the extruded tube. Friction reducing apparatus and methods are further disclosed as well.
