How Does Friction Flow™ Work?

FMSA’s advanced friction-induced back-pressure tubing eliminates potential blockages, saving you precious time and money and underwriting profitability for growers.

Rather than a small restriction point – like an orifice plate or in-line restrictors – Friction Flow™ uses a larger internal diameter tubing over distance to create an accurate and even metering system. This unique design gives Friction Flow™ a greater range of application rates and minimal chance of blocking using more complex liquid product combinations.

Features & Benefits of Friction Flow™

Friction Flow™ tubing is manufactured from the highest-grade nylon, selected for its chemical resistance and UV stability. It also demonstrates superior wall strength to prevent kinking, crushing or internal distortion, both in use and storage.

  • Only genuine Friction Flow™ offers the highest level of UV stability and chemical & fertiliser resistance on the market—Australia’s best liquid delivery systems.

  • Friction Flow™ comes in three standard sizes internally: 1.2mm, 1.5mm, and 2mm. Each tube size maintains the same external width of 6mm. 1.5mm Green and 2mm Red Friction Flow™ tubing can also be supplied as a “Suzi” spring coil design to wrap around existing delivery hosing.

When paired with FMSA’s manifold system, Friction Flow™ holds the liquid right to the tip of the tube with no drips or dribbles. It’s the precise, regulated, accurate in-furrow liquid delivery solution.
