Watering Tunnels
Watering Tunnels
Automate container watering with inline tunnel systems designed for production line integration. These systems deliver uniform overhead irrigation as containers pass through on conveyors, with precision controls that start and stop water flow automatically—eliminating both manual watering labor and water waste.
Use watering tunnel systems to:
-Integrate watering directly into potting and transplanting lines
-Eliminate manual hose watering and associated labor costs
-Prevent over- and under-watering with automatic flow control
-Handle containers from small pots to tall hanging baskets up to 31.5″ high
-Achieve uniform coverage through laser-drilled water bars
Why inline watering tunnels matter
Manual watering after potting or transplanting creates bottlenecks, inconsistency, and labor costs. Workers drag hoses, some containers get too much water while others get too little, and production flow stops while watering catches up. Watering tunnels solve this by making irrigation part of the production line itself. Containers enter the tunnel on a conveyor, pass under precision water bars, and exit fully watered—all without stopping production or adding labor. Limit switches detect when containers are present and control water flow automatically, so water only runs when product is in the tunnel. No waste, no waiting, no vari
Watering tunnel configurations for your operation
From compact 7-foot systems for moderate watering needs to extended 14-foot tunnels providing longer dwell time for heavier irrigation, AdeptAg offers watering tunnel solutions matched to your production speed and container types. Systems feature variable-speed conveyors up to 80 ft/min, four independently controllable water curtains for precise coverage adjustment, and stainless steel construction with integrated drain pans. Options include 6-bar manifolds for increased coverage, Tee-Jet nozzles for specific spray patterns, and extended tunnel lengths up to 35 feet. Built for continuous production environments and customized to integrate with your existing lines, these systems deliver consistent watering without slowing your operation.
