Mazzei Fertilizer Injector

The Mazzei injector is a basic venturi style injector, facilitated by back pressure to create suction. It requires no moving parts, but rather harnesses a simple law of physics and water hydraulics. Ideal for orchard situations where concentration precision is not necessary, its best application is when fertilizer is measured based on volume/weight per acre.

We usually mount these in a bypass manifold inserted directly into the mainline of the system, so when fertigation is desired its a simple flip of some valves and water is rerouted through injector.

Description

Mazzei is a basic venturi style fertilizer injector, using Bernoulli’s principal to increase velocity to create a negative pressure zone creating suction.

  • Requires a bypass manifold to work.
  • Bypass is designed so the lower half is the same size as your diameter of pipe, preventing bottlenecking.
  • Mazzei unit is chosen based on the flow rate in your mainline, see chart below.
  • We offer both a pre-built bypass or just the units.
