Irriland SPORT SERIES

Overview

The Irriland SPORT SERIES represents a cutting-edge solution in turbine drive hard hose irrigators, engineered and manufactured in Italy by Irriland, a respected name in professional irrigation equipment. This compact yet powerful automatic hard hose reel is specifically designed for small to medium-scale irrigation operations, accommodating hose diameters of 32, 40, and 50 mm (1.26, 1.57, and 1.97 inches) with operational lengths ranging from 50 to 200 metres (164 to 656 feet). Despite its small footprint, the SPORT SERIES delivers the performance and reliability expected from professional-grade irrigation systems, making it an ideal choice for operators who require portability without compromising on functionality.

What distinguishes the SPORT SERIES from conventional hard hose reels is its remarkable versatility and purpose-built design for specialised applications. The system features a sophisticated partial flow water turbine drive mechanism with cast iron construction flanged directly to an oil-filled gearbox, ensuring smooth, reliable operation with minimal maintenance requirements. The inclusion of automatic sprinkler cart lifting from working to shifting position, combined with a hot galvanised frame and drum for superior corrosion resistance, makes this model particularly well-suited for sports field irrigation and professional hobby applications where ease of movement and quick repositioning are essential operational requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

• Partial Flow Water Turbine Drive System: Utilises only a portion of the water flow to power the turbine, maximising irrigation efficiency while providing consistent, adjustable retrieval speed through the integrated bypass system, ensuring uniform water application across the entire irrigation cycle.
• Hot Galvanised Frame and Drum Construction: Superior corrosion protection through hot-dip galvanisation ensures extended service life even in harsh outdoor environments, reducing maintenance costs and maintaining structural integrity for decades of reliable operation.
• Cast Iron Turbine with Flanged Gearbox: Heavy-duty cast iron turbine construction flanged directly to an oil-filled gearbox with power take-off delivers exceptional durability and torque transmission, eliminating common failure points found in chain-driven systems.
• Automatic Sprinkler Cart Lifting System: Seamlessly transitions the sprinkler cart between working and transport positions without manual intervention, significantly reducing setup time and physical labour while preventing damage during field movements.
• Hose Guide System with No End Screw: Innovative screw-free hose guide mechanism ensures smooth, tangle-free hose retrieval with reduced mechanical complexity, minimising maintenance requirements and potential adjustment issues over the machine's lifetime.
• End Rewinding Stop with Shut-Off Valve: Dual-function safety system automatically stops hose retrieval at the preset point while simultaneously shutting off water flow, preventing overspooling damage and water waste during unattended operation.
• Integrated Speed Adjustment Bypass: Allows precise control of retrieval speed through simple bypass valve adjustment, enabling operators to optimise irrigation rates for different soil types, crop requirements, and field conditions without additional tools.
• Safety Hand Wheel for PTO Shaft: Manual override capability provides safe emergency control and precise positioning during setup or maintenance procedures, ensuring operator safety and preventing damage during non-operational movements.
• Complete CE Certification: Full compliance with European safety and quality standards provides assurance of proper engineering practices, comprehensive safety features, and documented performance capabilities for professional agricultural operations.

Ideal Applications

• Sports Field Irrigation: Perfectly sized for football pitches, golf course fairways, cricket grounds, and training facilities where compact dimensions and rapid repositioning capability are essential for maintaining precise irrigation schedules without disrupting play or training activities.
• Small to Medium Agricultural Plots: Ideal for market gardens, orchards, vineyards, and specialty crop operations ranging from 2 to 10 hectares where the efficiency of hard hose irrigation is required but large-scale equipment is impractical or economically unjustified.
• Professional Hobby and Lifestyle Farms: Excellent choice for professional-grade hobby farming operations, equestrian facilities, and lifestyle properties where owners demand commercial-quality irrigation performance with user-friendly operation and minimal maintenance requirements.
• Nursery and Horticulture Operations: Well-suited for plant nurseries, container production areas, and horticultural facilities where versatile irrigation coverage, gentle water application, and frequent repositioning between growing zones are daily operational requirements.
• Municipal Parks and Recreation Areas: Appropriate for local government parks departments, botanical gardens, and public recreation spaces requiring reliable, automated irrigation with straightforward operation by seasonal or part-time maintenance staff.
• Renovation and Establishment Projects: Portable dimensions and tractor-towable design make the SPORT SERIES an efficient choice for turf establishment projects, landscape renovations, and temporary irrigation needs where equipment must be moved frequently between multiple job sites.
