Irriland COMFORT SERIES

Overview

The Irriland COMFORT SERIES represents a sophisticated solution in compact turbine drive hard hose irrigators, engineered in Italy for small to medium-scale irrigation operations. Designed specifically for Models 11-14, this versatile automatic hard hose reel accommodates pipes ranging from 40 mm to 75 mm in diameter with operational lengths between 100 and 300 metres, making it an exceptionally practical choice for growers and land managers requiring professional irrigation performance in a space-efficient package. Manufactured by Irriland, a respected Italian irrigation equipment specialist, the COMFORT SERIES combines robust construction with intelligent automation to deliver reliable water distribution across diverse agricultural and specialty applications.

What distinguishes the COMFORT SERIES from conventional hard hose irrigators is its combination of compact dimensions with full professional capabilities, making it particularly suited for operations where manoeuvrability and space constraints are critical considerations. The system employs a parcialized water turbine drive system flanged directly to an oil-filled gearbox with power take-off, providing smooth, consistent hose retrieval without external power sources. Advanced features including electronic speed adjustment controllers, automatic braking systems, and automatic cart lifting mechanisms ensure precise operation across varying terrain and crop conditions, whilst the hot galvanized frame and drum construction guarantees long-term durability even in demanding environmental conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Compact Turbine Drive System: The parcialized water turbine directly flanged to the gearbox provides consistent, reliable power for hose retrieval without requiring external power sources, reducing operational complexity and energy costs whilst ensuring smooth operation across varying water flow conditions.
• Hot Galvanized Construction: Both the frame and drum feature hot galvanizing treatment, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard coating methods, ensuring extended service life even in humid or chemically aggressive environments typical of intensive irrigation operations.
• Electronic Speed Control: The integrated controller allows precise electronic adjustment of retrieval speed, enabling operators to fine-tune irrigation rates to match soil infiltration characteristics, crop water requirements, and field topography for optimized water distribution efficiency.
• Turnable Frame Design: The rotating frame configuration allows for flexible positioning and easy redirection between irrigation runs, reducing setup time and enabling efficient coverage of irregularly shaped fields or multiple plot configurations without extensive repositioning.
• Automatic Safety Systems: Integrated automatic brake and automatic stop at rewinding end prevent equipment damage and ensure safe operation, whilst the automatic cart lifting mechanism protects the sprinkler and hose from ground contact during retrieval, extending component service life.
• Professional Gearbox Engineering: The oil-filled gearbox with power take-off provides smooth power transmission whilst maintaining proper lubrication under continuous operation, reducing maintenance requirements and ensuring consistent performance across extended irrigation seasons.
• Adjustable Track Chassis: The chassis with adjustable track width accommodates varying row spacings and field conditions, whilst rear anchoring legs with handles provide stable positioning during operation and convenient manual positioning when needed.
• Complete Sprinkler Package: Standard inclusion of sprinkler with nozzle series, sprinkler cart with adjustable track, and 4-metre flexible hose with couplings provides a complete irrigation solution ready for immediate field deployment without requiring additional component sourcing.
• Advanced Hose Guide System: The innovative hose guide system with no end screw design ensures consistent, even layering during hose retrieval, preventing tangling and damage whilst extending hose service life through reduced wear and proper storage.

Ideal Applications

• Small-Scale Commercial Agriculture: Perfect for market gardens, vegetable operations, and specialty crop producers working with field sizes between 2-10 hectares who require professional irrigation performance without the footprint and investment of larger systems.
• Sports Field Irrigation: Specifically designed for maintaining golf courses, football pitches, cricket grounds, and recreational fields where compact equipment dimensions allow access to landscaped areas whilst delivering uniform water distribution for turf health.
• Professional Hobby Farming: Ideally suited for serious hobby farmers, equestrian facilities, and boutique vineyards requiring reliable automated irrigation with the flexibility to service multiple smaller plots or irregularly shaped growing areas.
• Nursery & Horticultural Operations: Excellent choice for plant nurseries, container growing operations, and ornamental horticulture where controlled, uniform water application is essential and equipment must navigate between growing blocks and greenhouse structures.
• Orchard & Vineyard Establishment: Well-suited for young tree and vine irrigation during establishment phases where irrigation needs are intensive but field layouts may change as plantings mature, requiring flexible, relocatable irrigation equipment.
• Contract Irrigation Services: The compact dimensions and complete standard equipment package make this system ideal for contractors providing temporary or seasonal irrigation services across multiple client sites with varying field conditions and water requirements.
