Idrofoglia Turbocar Active G5S Turbine Drive Hard Hose Irrigators

Overview

The Turbocar Active G5S is a professional turbine-driven hard hose irrigator manufactured by Idrofoglia, Italy's premier irrigation equipment specialist. This advanced irrigation machine is engineered specifically for large-scale agricultural operations, combining robust Italian engineering with precision water delivery across expansive field areas. With hose capacity ranging from 400 to 550 metres and multiple diameter options up to 120 mm, the G5S delivers the performance and reliability demanded by commercial farms, sports turf facilities, and agricultural estates requiring consistent, efficient irrigation coverage.

As an enhanced evolution of Idrofoglia's proven G5 platform, the G5S incorporates increased hose capacity and a significantly more efficient transmission system that reduces energy consumption while improving retrieval consistency. The machine features a sophisticated 4-speed gearbox with automatic drive disengagement, flanged turbine technology with integrated speed control and compensator, and a precision leadscrew hose layering mechanism that ensures tangle-free operation across thousands of irrigation cycles. Built on a galvanized and powder-coated frame with comprehensive corrosion protection, the G5S is designed to deliver decades of dependable service in demanding agricultural environments.

Key Features & Benefits

• Enhanced Transmission Efficiency: The upgraded transmission system delivers improved power transfer from the water turbine to the drum mechanism, reducing friction losses and ensuring consistent retrieval speed even under varying water pressure conditions.
• 4-Speed Gearbox with Automatic Disengagement: Multiple speed settings allow operators to match retrieval rate precisely to crop requirements and field conditions, while automatic drive disengagement protects mechanical components from damage at the end of each irrigation cycle.
• Flanged Turbine with Speed Control: The professionally-engineered turbine system features integrated speed regulation and compensation technology that maintains steady retrieval rates regardless of minor pressure fluctuations in the supply line.
• Precision Leadscrew Hose Layering: Automated hose guide system ensures even, tangle-free hose winding across the full width of the drum, eliminating manual adjustment and extending hose service life by preventing kinking and abrasion damage.
• Hydraulic Trolley Lifting System: Manual hydraulic pump provides effortless adjustment of the sprinkler trolley height and stabilizer legs, allowing rapid field setup and precise positioning without requiring external power sources.
• Adjustable Track Sprinkler Trolley: Three-wheel trolley configuration with variable track width accommodates different row spacing and field conditions, ensuring stable travel and consistent application uniformity across varied terrain.
• Dual Water Inlet Configuration: Twin inlet ports provide installation flexibility and enable connection to multiple water sources, improving operational versatility across different field layouts and supply infrastructure configurations.
• PTO Rewinding Capability: Integrated power take-off rewinding option allows tractor-powered drum rotation for rapid field preparation and emergency retrieval, significantly reducing setup time between irrigation cycles.
• Corrosion-Protected Construction: Galvanized frame combined with RAL 5017 painted mechanical components provides comprehensive protection against moisture, fertilizer, and chemical exposure, ensuring long-term structural integrity.
• Complete Turnkey Package: Factory-supplied with sectoring raingun, nozzle set, 4-metre supply hose with ball joint connection, adjustable drawbar, mechanical jack, and comprehensive maintenance documentation for immediate operational deployment.
