Total length of flow path
Long-length flow path
A longer flow path means smaller flow variations under pressure changes — and a more consistent emitter output across the lateral.

Emitter Comparison
In these graphs, we compare the physical characteristics against other emitters in the industry. We compare length of flow path, size of flow path, and total screen area. Compare the numbers and see why Max-Emitter is the superior emitter designed specifically for heap-leach mining needs.
Presentation Animations
Flow path advantages you can see
Dina's legacy sales presentation animations are now converted for the web and paired with native comparison data so buyers can see why the Max-Emitter resists plugging.
Keep pore space open for oxygen
Controlled wetting coats the ore while leaving connected air voids available for the leach reaction.

Comparison Data
Largest screen area, longest path, largest flow volume
The Max-Emitter advantage is not one dimension. It combines inlet screening, path length, and flow volume so particles have fewer opportunities to stop the emitter.
Total screen area
Larger screen area
At a full 330°, the Max-Emitter offers the largest inlet screen area available. More screen area = less plugging and higher production.
Square inches
Total volume of flow path
Larger-volume flow path
A large flow-path volume prevents plugging by letting particulates pass through the emitter rather than catching at constrictions.
Cubic inches
Comparison table
The advantage shows up when all three measures are read together: path length, inlet screen area, and available flow volume.
